PUBLIC QUESTIONS PRIORITIES New budget mortgages future VICTORIA - "British Columbia continues to live beyond its means," stated Don Young, FCA, president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia. "Planned expenditures will outstrip revenues next year by more than $1.5 billion despite large tax increases. Unless we can reduce our costs, we continue to mortgage our future and limit the op-, tions available to the next generation." "It is not possible to see where the province is going as the budget contains no vision of revenue and expenditure plans beyond the next fiscal year." Young noted that during its Tie one on at College fund raiser.

The floral images stem from the fresh flower displays and theme which will permeate the room that evening. For reservations and tickets, call 599-2074. Inquest seeks answers BURNABY - A coroner's court inquest into the death of a former Aldergrove resident will continue on April 19. Swaranjit Kaur Thandi was found strangled to death in a Merritt ditch in February of 1991. Her body was naked and had been beaten, and she had been dead for some time at the time of discovery. No charges have ever been laid in her death. She had disappeared from her home in Aldergrove sometime in December of 1990. No one had reported her missing. The court heard witnesses tell of depraved treatment at the hands of her extended family, during the years 1985 to 1990. The family denied the allegations when they appeared at the inquest. The court is not able to attach criminal blame, but RCMP are hoping that the light of scrutiny and the promise of protection from reprisals will bring new information forward that will enable them to lay charges in the murder. Police seek gun motive ALDERGROVE - A drive-by shooting at a south Coghlan residence may be result of a love triangle, RCMP have speculated. A total of 25 shots from a .22 calibre rifle were fired at a house in the 1100-block of 256 Street, shortly before 3 a.m. on March 23. A brother and sister in their twenties were inside but were not injured by the shooting. However, windows were broken and bullets were imbedded in the walls. Police found 25 bullet casings near the house. The first shot was fired from a passing car, and when it returned shortly after that, 24 more shots, were fired. A police dog helped police recover a rifle and rubber gloves concealed under grass near a utility pole at the intersection of 256 Street and 8 Avenue. RCMP are continuing their investigation. first two years in office, the government has substantially increased taxes which are not based on the 'ability to pay' principle. Three examples of such revenue sources which have increased $1.1 billion in total over two years ending in 1994 are: 1. Social Service Tax - 31 percent 2. Corporation Capital Tax - 2049 percent 3. Property Tax - 26 percent The budget is silent on specific initiatives to ensure government reduces waste and duplication and operates more effectively. "I would like to see a greater effort to ensure we reduce the cost of government as much as possible," said Young. While the government appears to be tackling our serious deficit problem, it is troubling to see that the total direct and guaranteed debt of the province will have increased by 32 percent over two years and is forecast to be $26.4 billion by March 31, 1994. $3-5 billion of this increase in debt comes from the province's operating deficit and the remaining $2.9 billion is at- Beware mom's radar patrol By JENNIFER SIEGRIST LANGLEY - Perserverance just might pay off for parents concerned about speeders in school zones. County Line Elementaiy School was the first school to use a radar gun to record speeders in the school zone on the morning of March 29. After previous failed attempts to remind drivers of the school zone, concerned parents and PAC president Lynn Tucker attended a seminar on how to use a radar gun, held by Langley RCMP. Between 8:30-9:00 a.m., on March 29, the radar gun was put into use for the first time. The radar gun is attached to a device that clocks and records how fast drivers are going. As the driver goes by, the speed is then flashed onto a screen. According to Lynn Tucker, the radar gun is just used to record the speed of drivers, not to hand out tickets. After a period of time, the results will be handed over to the RCMP, where they can decide if RCMP surveillance is needed for the area. Since this is the first time a radar gun has been used for school use, Lynn Tucker hopes that other schools will become more involved in the future. She told The Star that many motorists slowed down when they saw the display board readout, but she was stunned that one young woman sped through in the afternoon clocked at 90 kmh, not paying any attention to the radar. Whether this woman (Robyn Allan's little sister?) stopped at the stop sign a couple hundred yards north of the school is another question. A number of others, including parents driving their kids and truckers were clocked at excessive speeds. Still, "I really enjoyed the experi-. ence," said Tucker. "Perhaps I have a future career as a police officer!" Perhaps, perhaps not, but police will be backing up the citizens' patrol with fines to negligent motorists in future. tributable to capital and other expenditures. Next year's cost to manage B.C.'s debt will rise 21 percent, despite falling interest rates. The government has stated it wants to pick up the slack in the economy now by increased spending and slow down public spending later when the private sector has recovered. Young questions the need for any accel eration of expenditures when B.C.'s economy is already forecast by experts to grow in real terms between 3 percent and 4 percent next year. Young said, "Expenditure reductions are needed in many areas if we are going to balance our budget soon. The people of British Columbia must ask government for less if we are to live within our means." The Aldergrove STAR Illegitimus non carborundum VOL.35 N0.13 THURSDAY.

Several police officers responded and three juvenile males, ages 15 and 16 years were taken into custody and their vehicle seized. Police recovered four shotguns nearby, two of which had been taken earlier that day in a break and entry. Two of the weapons had been cutdown and one was found to be loaded. Also recovered was a sizable amount of shotgun ammunition. During their search of the area, police also discovered a quantity of bats and short pieces of steel pipe.

Leader Preston Manning said, "Our political leaders talk about preserving medicare as a sacred trust, but they refuse to do what needs to be done to ensure its survival. The greatest single threat to medicare and other social programns in Canada is out-of- control government spending and the skyrocketing federal debt." International money lenders have been issuing warnings to the federal and provincial governments about spending, and financial analysts have suggested last week that Canada is only a couple years away from applying to the International Monetary Fund for assistance, like many third world and even developed countries have in the past decade. Manning said his party proposes balancing the budget in three years without increasing taxes, "while the Tories plan to let taxes catch up to spending, the Liberals only plan is to reintroduce the GST with a new name, and the NDP plan to spend and tax even more." Manning's "Zero in Three" deficit elimination plan calls for federal spending reductions across the board, while preserving spending on health care and higher education at present levels, and avoiding "downloading" of the federal debt problem onto the provinces. Social programs such as Unemployment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, and Old Age ^§*^urity would be "reorganized" 3$i£Sit benefits from those who have higher incomes. Subsidies to business and special interests . would be reduced and eliminated. Lastly, the size of government would be reduced and efficiency increased, with transition programs for civil servant affected by layoffs. The national debt has increased from its 1984 level of $180-billion to almost $460-bil- lion at present Interest payments on this debt have increased from 1984's 18 cents of every dollar raised by government, to the current 32 cents on every dollar. "Important social services like health care are doomed if the debt hole continues to devour our tax dollars," said Manning. "We know where we are going, we have the map to get there, but we want (the public's) input to help us choose the best road. The choices are not easy, but they must be made, and it is the Canadian people who should make them. "I challenge the leaders and would-be leaders of the three old-line parties to stop digging the debt hole deeper, and I challenge Canadians to elect Reformers who will help build a ladder to climb out of that hole," said Manning. Fraser Valley West party candidate Randy White agreed: "Pay the bills, cut the costs and balance our budget "This is not the once in five years announcement we Canadians have become accustomed to hearing just prior to election. It is the detail of our written and published financial principles that we have presented to constituents over the past five years. "Political pirating of Reform Party policy is becoming increasingly prevalent as the old-line s Carries struggle to retain credi- Sity with the electorate. Comparing their fiscal policy as it emerges will be interesting." White, a certified management accountant and C.E.O. of Abbotsford School District, said, "I was proud to participate in the development of this plan along with other candidates, as it was formulated at a recent caucus meeting from the grassroots up." VANCOUVER - A Brinks' guard has been charged in the fatal shooting of an armed robber, Oct. 15 in downtown Vancouver. Killed was Kevin Redworth of Langley. Redworth had slashed Brinks' guard, Darren Sellers in the face and neck during the robbery, and Sellers fired his gun at Redworth while pursuing him through the crowded streets. Redworth was hit in the back of his head by the fatal bullet Sellers' union has expressed disappointment with the charges against Sellers. He is to appear in Vancouver Provincial Court on April 6. Doctors investigate videos VANCOUVER - The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. is investigating First Moments Video Productions, based in Ontario. Proprietor Derek Kirkham is an ultrasound technician who offers his services to pregnant women for "entertainment purposes." He travels the country with his unit, taping "baby's first pictures on video" for a $50 fee. He has conducted sessions in B.C. two or three times a month since January, and is represented in this province by an Aldergrove family who do the marketing for him. The college's deputy registrar, Dr. John Harrigan said they are investigating whether Kirkham is contravening a section of the Medical Practitioners' Act. "We want to ensure that everything Mr. Kirkham is doing is on the up and up." One of the college's concerns is whether Kirkham's videos are used by couples to determine the sex of the fetus, and possibly leading to abortions. "Some parts of some cultures don't like girls," said Dr. Harrigan. While operation of an ultrasound unit outside of a medical setting is not forbidden, operating it for any form of medical purpose is. Kirkham said that his business is purely for entertainment purposes and he does not feel threatened by the college's investigation. He said it is not possible to make medical diagnoses from his tapes, but he will try to determine the sex of the fetus if asked. However, he said he abhors abortion and would not do the gender guess if he suspects that motive. "I just will not do that. I think it's atrocious." The Chalkias family of Aldergrove has been marketing the service since last November in B.C. Malpractice suit won VANCOUVER - A Langley woman has won her malpractice suit against Langley Memorial Hospital and Dr. Tracey Hicks. B.C.

Dr. Hicks had surgically removed a ganglion from Bryan's wrist, after she complained of a lump. A cortisone injection did not reduce swelling and pain, and was referred to Dr. Hicks, an orthopedic surgeon. Justice Marion Allan ruled that Dr. Hicks breached rules of disclosure by not fully explaining the significant risks of the operation, and not suggesting alternative treatments. The award includes $70,000 in general damages, $77,075 for past income losses, $225,872 for future incomes losses and $1,415 for special damages. 'Buying or Setting?

APRIL 1. 1993 Socreds launch anti-tax campaign VICTORIA - "Taxes shouldn't be raised without good reason" - that's the main point Social Credit MLAs want to reinforce in a pre- budget mailer, released for widespread circulation. "For some time now, the Harcourt government has been trying to brainwash British Columbians that tax increases are necessary and desirable," said Socred leader Jack Weisgerber. "That's not going to fly with the public, because nothing could be farther from the truth. "Our caucus wants to remind B.C. taxpayers that their provincial taxes were increased by a thousand dollars a family over the past year. We want people to know that despite last year's unprecedented tax grab, the accumulated deficit is growing at an alarming rate. "Before the government earns the right to demand a dime more in taxes, it has an obligation to cut its expenditures to the bone and do everything in its power to encourage wealth creation. We think it's time this government got that message, so we're asking British Columbians if they agree," Weisgerber explained. The publication will be arriving on doorsteps throughout British Columbia this month. Over 260 thousand copies of the information brochure will be distributed by the Socred caucus, mostly by mail, beginning March 29. "Every business in British Columbia - about 130 thousand in all - will receive a copy of the mailer," said Socred caucus chairman Lyall Hanson. "An additional 130 thousand copies will be distributed to households throughout the province, including every household in our constituencies." Copies of the brochure are available from the Social Credit caucus (1-800-665-3688). Stilwell to lead Christian Heritage party CLOVERDALE - A successful businesswoman and avid pro- lifer is the new deputy interim leader of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada. Heather Stilwell, 49, promises, to travel the nation on a "fulltime basis" to help the party win seats in the next federal election, expected later this year. "This news arrives due to the incapacity of former leader, Dr. Charles Cavilla," said Stilwell, who adds that the next leadership convention is planned for March 1994 in Vancouver. The party was founded in 1986, with a conservative and anti-abortion platform, and funding is provided solely by its 17,000 members' donations. In 1988 it ran candidates in 63 of the 296 ridings and garnered four percent of popular vote. This year it has candidates in more than 100 ridings. The party is represented in Fraser Valley West by Surrey contractor, Ed Vanwoudenberg, and Stilwell's husband, Bill is expected to take the March 30 nomination in North Surrey. The Stilwells are Catholics with eight children aged three to 26 years old. Heather worked many years in public libraries since age 13, and completed two years of university in her native Saskatchewan, before moving to Surrey. The couple have owned Clover- dale Trading Post for ten years, .and she is founding president of the Cloverdale Merchants' Association and member of the Board of Trade. She's also a Surrey school trustee and member of a number of prolife organizations, including the presidency of the Pro-Life Society of B.C. and its Surrey branch. She was a founding member of the Christian Heritage Party. As a school trustee she has won respect for her clear thinking, her commitment to the best interest of the common good and her desire to obtain the best value for tax dollars. It was her attention to detail that made her the first person to alert politicians to the possible consequences of the NDP's amendments to the B.C. Infants' Act. She is a prolific writer and capable debater. A CHP spokesperson said, "She has a common-sense approach to issues, delegates well, and instills an enthusiam that makes one want to be part of her team. Her energy level is truly amazing, and with her natural sense of humor, faith and commitment, she has become widely known as a peace maker and problem solver. We're privileged to have her as leader." Stilwell says her party's lack of big money will work only in its favor. "The public is angry. The lawyers and the academics have had their time (in government) and they've messed up. We need to elect some electricians and "some farmers, the people who really make this country work." One of her priorities is to enact legislation that prohibit the government from spending more than it takes in every year.

ISSt NO KIM FOR BOB Wenman backs Charest OTTAWA - Robert Wenman, M.P., announced March 29 that he will be supporting Jean Charest, minister of the environment, in the race for the leadeship of the Progressive Conservative party. In a letter to Charest, Wenman stressed how impressed he has been with the minister's efforts to save the environment - a cause that has continually taken much of Wenman's interest. "Your recognition of traditional values in a nation of city dwellers (80%) brings you close to the aspiration of Canadians who expect clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and open green spaces in cities that are productive and efficient. In your role as environment minister, through the development of the Green Plan, you have recognized and LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Environmental irresponsibility Editor, The Star, Sir, Paul George of the Western Canada Wilderness Committee has denied any responsibility for the recent riot and destruction at the Parliament Buildings. Is he lying? Was he not the main instigator of the event? Wasn't he the one who organized it? Weren't the people who rioted his supporters? Why did he continue the rally even after the destruction had occurred? It seems to me he IS responsible - for all the actions of those who not only supported his event, but his organization and his beliefs. Furthermore, George, his organization and his radical cronies have demonstrated a complete lack of willingness to participate in processes designed to reach a solution to land use debates. They want what they want and if you don't like it, get out of the way - they don't care. They don't want solutions, they want confrontation. At a time when government and the majority of British Columbians are searching for solutions and the compromises which inevitably must be made, and which have been made in the Clayoquot, it is reprehensible that people like George and his radical 'friends of whatever' deny involvement in a destructive process of our democracy and our citizens' government. Grow up, Paul, and join the real world. PETER MOONEN Vancouver Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community. The let- ters-to-the-editor column is a chance for comment on what has been said in the paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond to what newsmakers of the area have been saying. We especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, although letters which enlighten or stimulate thought are welcome. We ask that letters be free of libel and bear the name and address of the autho/. Submissions must include a written signature. We prefer letters to be typed and double spaced, and present the comment as clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves the right to condense or reject letters containing libel or of poor taste. Hypocritical gag law protested Disgusting actions Editor, The Star, Sir, I was disgusted at the destructive antics by scores of so-called peaceful environmentalists in Victoria yesterday. Just who do these people think they are? The decisions over land use in B.C. must be made for all British Columbians, not just those who scream the loudest. Do they not care about the people who live and work in small towns all over the province? It is apparent jobs are not a major concern to them. After all, Thursday wasn't a holiday. The rest of British Columbia is prepared to make compromises to ensure our province, our environment and our economy remain healthy. Why aren't the rioters? I don't see any willingness on the part of those who rioted yesterday to accept even a hint of compromise. It's too bad, there's lots of British Columbia for every interest, but the decision process will require a lot of hard work from dedicated and sincere people - and very few of them were rioting in Victoria yesterday. LARA JOHNSON Vancouver Gone too far Editor, The Star, Sir, The environmentalists have gone too far. Their riot on the steps of the legislature proves beyond a doubt that they are selfish, uncompromising radicals. These are the same people who walked away from the Clayoquot Sound process to find a solution because they thought they might not get their way. Like selfish children, these urbanite ^coterrorists want what they want and too bad about anybody else. Unbelievable! When will these people who live on the fringe of society realize that 95 percent of the population of the province wants solutions that work, not activists who don't. The people of B.C. should turf these crazies out into the wilds where they want to be anyway. Let the rest of us work to make sure that the compromises which must be made are made in the best interests of every British Columbian, not just a few radicals. MICHAEL L. ALEXANDER Langley Editor, The Star, Sir, Federal Government House Leader Harvie Andre is one very confused man. He is the minister responsible for introducing an electoral gag law into the House of Commons. This law would make it illegal for citizens to spend more than $1,000 independently on advertisements to support or oppose a political party or candidate during federal elections. Until now, the Ottawa political elite has been telling Canadians that this draconian law was needed to stop elections from "being bought". Watch that dirt Editor, The Star, Sir, It is approaching the time when those who have to put in a lawn will be thinking of ordering top soil. Just a word of caution. There are some soil suppliers out there1 who will take advantage of your lack of knowledge and supply you with material that is not worthy of the name and who will short you on yardage. Measure their truck box before you let them dump the load and check the material to make sure that it is top soil and that it is screened, as they claim. Don't get taken like I did. Phone the Better Business Bureau 682-2711, before choosing your supplier. W.L. ADERSON Surrey Committee just too radical However, Harvie Andre recently dismissed this justification as a "myth". In fact on February 23 he testified before the Special Committee of Electoral Reform that: "There is no evidence that I see anywhere to suggest that the person who spends the most is likely to win...it's a myth...that infers an electorate who is not as bright as we know them to be". Why does Harvie Andre really want this gag law? During the same testimony he said, "I certainly recognize there are real benefits to me and to everybody else in the system in having limits...the third parties can't come in." We citizens are the "third parties". In other words, he thinks political parties should be able to spend $9 million during elections but citizens' groups and individuals should be limited to $1,000 - effectively silenced. It seems clear that the real purpose behind this law is to force citizens to channel their political spending through parties rather than speak out independently. fSCitizens who oppose this blatant attack on the right to free speech should urge their MPs to oppose this gag law. Your readers may find out their MP's name and telephone number by calling Elections Canada at 1-800-267- 8683- Let's stop the politicians before they stop us. DAVID SOMERVILLE, Toronto Editor, The Star, Sir, Paul George, Joe Foy and their cronies in the wilderness committee have denied any responsibility in the riot on the steps of our legislative buildings. Of course they are going to deny any responsibility for their actions. What else could we expect? The riot, which was the end result of the protest rally they organized, didn't give them what they wanted - a complete halt to any resource utilization in the Clayoquot Sound, for starters. Is it any surprise that they want to shed responsibility for their actions? It is the likes of George and Foy who have walked away from every opportunity to reach a meaningful, acceptable and viable solution to the land use debates in the province. Does that demonstrate responsibility? Their group has said it will tear CORE down if it doesn't get its way. How responsibte-ls^that to the needs of the communities and citizens of British Columbia? How responsible is it to promote? a European boycott of the resources which have built this province, including the tourism resource, which would also suffer? Are our land use decisions to be made by the "rule of the mob"? Unless George and other radical 'activists for confrontation' pass the baton to the sincere 'advocates for solution', the land use debates in this province will never end. The most responsible action George could take is to admit he is too radical for the needs of today's and tomorrow's generations and leave the environmental community to more responsible citizens. STAN CHESTER 5686 Keith Road West \ancouver upheld these values." Wenman stressed that it is not important where theSnext prime minister of Canada is from - but rather that each candidate must stand on their own individual merit. "Similarly," Wenman pointed out, "delegates must look beyond regional loyalties to choose in the best interests of Canada". Among Charest's attributes Wenman stressed are his youthful energy and vigour, intelligence, compassion, caring and experience. These characteristics make for a "very powerful asset base (one that is necessary) for a new Prime Minister". Charest, who also projects a positive relationship to family, church and community, entered the leadership campaign on March 16. Country needs real reforms Editor, The Star, Sir, I am so discouraged when I turn on the TV or listen to the radio these days. We hear and see so much about the murders, women being raped, serious crimes involving youth and crimes committed by criminals on parole. Why aren't the politicians listening? It has come to the point where the innocent have less rights than the guilty. I am a new member of the Reform Party of Canada and I joined as a result of listening to a local candidate, Randy White speak about the changes needed in the criminal justice system. The Reform Party is the only party actively seeking change in the criminal justice system. They want major amendments to the Young Offenders Act, elimination of automatic parole and a higher priority to victim's rights, victim compensation and victim rehabilitation. It goes to show that if we really want reform in our country we need to elect Reformers. S. STEVENS, Abbotsford Apologies Editor, The Star, Sir, . Over the past 19 months I have been the project coordinator for the Alder Grove Heritage Society's History book. During that time I have met many wonderful people and put together many family histories. I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank each one of those who put their trust in me. I believe the book is now nearly two-thirds done. The society's new president, Dave Hawkin and his vice, June Willson, believe the book can now be completed with out any further help from me. I, therefore, wish to apologize for any history that people give me in good faith which is left out. Information donated while I was in charge, which is not found in the book, is a result of my inability to complete the story before March 19. For this I am truly sorry. ADA SHILLINGLAW Aldergrove XHE ALDERGROVE STAR. APRIL 1. 1993 4-H'ers learn judging for success at college Two hundred and thirteen 4H club members from the lower mainland, Vancouver Island, and the interior practiced their judging skills at the University College of the Fraser Valley Judging Seminar and Career Fair in Chilliwack recently. The event was also an opportunity for the young people to check out the UCFV Agriculture program and facilities. Nurse's discipline withdrawn CHILLIWACK - They knew their llamas and their Holsteins, but they had a little trouble with their chickweed. Over 200 eager 4-H members from throughout the province were in Chilliwack for a judging seminar and career fair sponsored by the University College of the Fraser Valley. Young people from nine to 19 years of age travelled from the interior and Vancouver Island regions to join their lower mainland counterparts. The participants represented 34 different 4- H clubs. UCFV agriculture program director Dr. Norma Senn said the rally was designed to give the 4- Hers a chance to practice their judging skills, meet other members from throughout the province, and. get acquainted with the programs and facilities of the University College. UCFV has the only two-year agriculture diploma program in the province and it considers the young people prime candidates for future enrolment. Although not all 4-H members live on farms, the vast majority still come from largely rural communities with a strong agricultural base. Many are keenly interested in agriculture and animals, although very few recognize the professional opportunities that exist in agriculture. The career fair featured displays from several of the major agricultural businesses and organizations in the region. The judging seminar itself gave the 4-H members a chance to test their skills at everything from Holsten heifers to llamas. The weed identification class stumped a lot of the participants. The correct answers all had animals names, and more than a few competitors had trouble distinguishing the lambsquarter from the chickweed. For the University College, the biggest challenge was tabulating the scores of 213 participants in the time it took the young people to eat lunch and learn line dancing. In the end, the top honours went to the Pitt Meadows 4-H Holstein Club, which won the club high aggregate award. Second and third spots went to the Saanich Peninsula Beef and Swine Club and the Otter Lamb Club respectively.

VANCOUVER - Early March 25, the Royal Columbian Hospital and the British Columbia Nurses' Union setded the grievance of the nurse who was suspended in the "creamer incident" at the hospital. The hospital agreed to withdraw the suspension against the nurse, to remove any reference to the incident from her personnel file. Hogg says greater good of this region is at risk BURNABY - Gordon Hogg says he has faith in public wisdom. Still, as Chair of the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Strategic Planning Committee, he's also keeping his fingers crossed that taxpayers in municipalities - including Langley - will be willing to accept property tax increases in return for maintaining the livability of the region. "Even though everyone agrees with the obvious value of keeping our region as a superior place to live," said Hogg," my worry is that we may not be able to develop a strong enough public consensus to allow us to protect the surroundings and way of life we now enjoy. We would then find ourselves immobilized in the face of unprecedented degradation of our land, air and water and our ability to dispose safely of garbage and sewage." The GVRD has been trying to persuade the public that virtually every attribute of the Lower Mainland that draws people to it is at risk of destruction by un- managed growth. The unhappy truth, say regional politicians, is that unless taxpayers support proposals to manage the inevitable growth of a predicted near-doubling of the region's population by the year 2021, today's Lower Mainland way of life is headed for the history books. "So my greatest fear is that we'd all start out saying 'Yes, we want fresh air and clear water and green space and agricultural land,' but that people won't be able to make the tough decisions that are needed now to manage our future." And rejection of tax increase isn't the whole story, said Hogg, who is also Mayor of White Rock. The rest is that some municipalities may not be able to put self-interest aside when asked to give up some power or autonomy for the greater good of the entire region. "At the GVRD, we are totally committed to making things happen," he said, "because we recognize that it will be catastrophic if we don't. Then we'd have a region that is a mess - another Los Angeles County. "We're going to have to make some difficult decisions. We're going to have to be visionary in our approach - to realize that we just can't let things go on as they have been without paying a much higher price than the cost of managing the inevitable changes that are coming." Hogg said anyone who wants to participate in the decisionmaking process may attend a May 15 meeting called the Creating Our Future: Critical Choices Consultation. It will be held at six sites throughout the region. The closest meetings for Maple Ridge residents are those at the Surrey and Port Coquidam Conference Centres. To register, call the GVRD at 436-6954. Or you can watch it live on local cable television from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., he said. *NOTE: ALL DUTIES AND TAXES PAID AT PORT OF ENTRY, CUSTOMS CLEARED PUBLIC AUCTION INVENTORY OF GOVERNMENT SEIZED PROPERTY AND OTHER MERCHANDISE.

Gold Keys lock up famed cup ALDERGROVE - On Wednesday March 24, AldergrQVjeiGold Key United met Gold,e/i Ears, leaders of and Unbeaten in Div. 1 East this season, in the semi-final of the Pakenham Cup. The game . played at Bear Creek Park was very tight in the early stages with Gold Key having a territorial edge but unable to find the netting until David Soothill scored on a well taken shot midway through the second half. Gold Key defended well and thought they were home free until with a half minute remaining in the game Golden Ears were awarded a free kick just inside the Gold Key half, and moving everyone up into the. Gold Key penalty are.a one of', their players deflected a cro^i," over the head of the on-rushihg Gold Key player. Score at the end of regulation time 1-1. Overtime of 2 x 15 minute halfs began with Aldergrove pressing right from the opening whistle. David Soothill was fouled in the' penalty area, and Joe Deacon made no mistake on the penalty to put Gold Key up 2-1. On the whistle to resume play Gold Key pressed, and were rewarded with 3 more goals in a span of 14 minutes to win, going awav 5-1. The last- three scorers. were Joe Wright, Glen Johnston and Joe Deacon. The final of the Pakenham Cup was played also at Bear Creek Park on Sunday March 28. against cross-town rivals Langley Lasers. Gold Key were unlucky not to be up 1 or 2 goals at the half and throughout the game had a huge territorial edge in play. Again Gold Key were unable to finish the many excellent chances created and as on Wed. in the semi-final, this game ended, scoreless after 90 minutes. Overtime produced very few chances for either team as the toll of the battle wore away at muscles and will-power. End of overtime with the score still 0-0 the spectators were witness to a penalty shootout. Gold Key came out on top and are crowned for 1993 as Pakenham Cup champions. Next game for Gold Key will be on April 1, Thursday, at Bear Creek Park when they meet Delta United in the President's Cup semi-final. If successful they participate in the final on Sunday, April 4.

United loses in overtime FORT LANGLEY - Fraser Valley United Under l6's soccer season came to an abrupt end last Saturday at Cloverdale ball park as they were eliminated in overtime from the Provincial A Cup playoffs by the league leading North Shore Selects. North Shore came out storming and scored just 5 minutes into the game. As the game progressed, F.V.U. gained some composure and they settled down to play a very hard first half, with North Shore having only a slight edge in play and no further goals being scored. Then, it was the Valley's turn to apply the pressure and their efforts were well rewarded 15 minutes into the second half when Justin Student capitalized on a direct free kick taken by Kevin Saunders, to tie the game at one all. The last 30 minutes of regular time saw the Valley pushing hard, but unable to find the back of the Select's net. The first overtime period remained scoreless with F.V.U., carrying the better part of the play. The second overtime period saw North Shore pick up the play, but the Valley continued to counter hard. Then, just 3 minutes away from going into a penalty shoot out, North Shore took, what appeared to many, to be an off-side pass, and broke away and scored, despite Valley keeper Marc Abshagen's valient effort to make the save. F.V.U.. fought back with all their strength, but time ran out on them. All in all, it was a game truly worthy of being a Provincial Cup final, instead of an elimination game. The team had a very enjoyable season of play, and wishes to thank sponsor, Chuck Magnus, of Sussex Realty for his support. The F.V.U. ended up in third place out of nine teams in regular season play and are looking forward to improving their record next year. Ain't it the truth? People do not stop doing things because they get older. They get older because they stop doing things.

At half time there was a raffle for an autographed football and two B.C. Lions game tickets. The proud winner was Hawley Bennett, a grade ten student from Aldergrove. The Lions were great sports and hung around after the game to give out autographs and let some of their young fans take pictures. "Thanks very much to the B.C. Lions who proved that football is not their only good game, and to the Aldergrove Totems who gave them a good run for their money. Special thanks also to the referees, time keepers, announcer and Aldergrove High School, without whose participation we would not have had such a successful evening," said a spokesperson for the basketball club.

Many In-Store Specials April 3rd Only ALDERGROVE - After all the try outs and exhibition games in July and August, to select the team that they wanted, coach Bob Whitehouse and manager Norm Cebula assembled their charges prior to the start of league play and told them that the No. 1 priority for this season was a good run in the Provincial Cup. In order to attain this lofty goal they would have to first win the Coastal Cup Division, emblematic of the best team in the lower mainland. The Red Devils, sponsored by Bank of Montreal, have reached the final of the Coastal Cup by defeating Richmond Breakers last week at Delair parky by a score of 3-0. The local squad completely outplayed their opponents and were unlucky to be leading by one one goal at half time, scored by Jill Beauchamp, after Maria Reglis was tackled by the goalie in the penalty area. More pressure in the second half led to goals by Angie Carey, off a corner, and Jo-Ann Radcliffe from a sharp angle. The final is to be played at 10:30 this Sunday April 4 at Nanaimo's Caledonia Stadium. The opposition will be Oak Bay. This marks the first time in 14 years that an Aldergrove team has played in the final and everyone wishes them all the best in their quest for provincial success. fmrnm? THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

[S**1 8:30 a^ Handicapping title returns to local resident CLOVERDALE - After a two year absence the AirBC handicapping crown will be worn by a local Cloverdale horseplayer as Vivian Jervis of Fort Langley topped nine other competitors in the annual event held March 20 & 21 at Cloverdale Raceway. The past two years the title has ended up in Bellingham and Victoria. As the only woman competitor in the group of ten, Vivian was a little apprehensive before the contest started, but once the first race was under way she proved to be a very cool and calm player. While her counterparts were wagering a hundred or two of their imaginary bankroll at a time, Vivian refused to be intimidated by their wagers and was content to try and manage her money by playing smaller amounts. In fact over the two day contest Vivian didn't make a total wager over $60. She ended the contest with a grand total of $1884 in her bankroll while the nearest challenger, Jerry Dawson, ended up with $1378. For her efforts Vivian won $1,000 and two trips anywhere AirBC flies. A weekend only racegoer, Vivian has been following the harness races at Cloverdale Raceway since 1983. Asked what type of a player she is when plunking down her own money Vivian replied, "A recreational conservative player, just like I played in the contest." To reach the. finals Vivian had to compete with approximately 4000 handicappers in the preliminary round of the contest and 900 more in the semi-finals before gaining a spot in the finals. Track Notes: This Saturday Cloverdale will simulcast the $500,000 Santa Anita Derby as part of the card. The race is scheduled to go at 2:45 and will be the 5th race on the 11 race card. .Sunday is Fan Appreciation Day as Cloverdale says thank you to all of its patrons and suppliers for their support.

The award was presented by Assistant Chief Doug Wade, Rita Paine of Public Education, and Officer Brian Wiebe of the Langley Fire Department, Aldergrove was the third school presented with such an award since the Fire Safety program began last September. The award presentation was held during an assembly in the school gymnasium where Wade spoke briefly about the program as a way of providing students with information to teach their parents and their siblings about Are and what to do in case of fire. According to Paine, the Fire Safety Program involves every single student within the school. Fee primary students, they learn basic techniques such as "Stop, Drop and Roll" while intermediate students learn more sosphisticated aspects of the program. Also, according to Wade, this Fire Safety Program started out as a desire for the Langley Fire Department to help out in the community. He adds that fire safety is a lifeskills essential that is just as important as learning arithmetic. Following the award's presentation, the majority of students responded positively when asked whether or not they went home and discussed fire safety with their families. The Fire Safety House regularly visits local schools. ... also "baby" smart By JENNIFER SIEGRIST ALDERGROVE - Parkside Elementary School has just completed its first- ever babysitting program. This certified eight week course designed for students, 11 years old and up gives a first hand look at what to do while babysitting. Held after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays for an hour and a half, students learned first aid techniques, basic nutrition, and entertainment ideas. Taught by Kirsty Sorenson, this program has been labelled a" positive" idea by staff and students. However, it isn't all fun and games. According to one mother, Francine Warriner, students need to achieve at least 75 per cent in order to pass the course. Similiarly, there is a course available for students 8 to 10 years-old which provides the basics for children if they are left home alone. For students who missed this course the first time, it will be available at Parkside School this September. ABBOTSFORD - Women today, face a myriad of pressures. A healthy lifestyle can strengthen their ability to manage these pressures, according the Cheryl Isaac-Clark, Continuing Education coordinator at the University College of the Fraser Valley. "In today's high-pressure world the demands on women are enormous," says Isaac-Clark. "Between working, family, fighting traffic, and running a million errands, women are pulled in a thousand directions every day. To achieve a happy heart, peace of mind, a healthy body and a contented soul, it is necessary that we learn to harmonize these different elements." Enhancing a healthy lifestyle is the theme of the Women in the Valley conference at UCFVs Abbotsford campus on Saturday, April 3- The conference will feature seven half-day workshops on topics such as spiritual psychology, the therapeutic and creative virtues of music, relaxation techniques, creative imagery, aligning behavior values with intellectual and emotional values, defining your fashion . personality, hand reflexology and a realistic approach to nutrition and body image. "It's not what you eat that causes ulcers, it's what eating you," says Dianne Pender, a holistic practitioner in polarity therapy and release work. Her workshop, Heart & Mind, Body & Soul, will explore the interrelationship of the mind, emotions, body and spirit and the role these elements play in overall wellness. "My objective is to support and encourage people to assume responsibility for gaining and maintaining optimum wellness and joy in their lives," says Pender. "In the workshop we will use breathing and relaxation exercises and mediation to get in touch with the energy in our bodies, experience how the energy changes, and how that reflects in our emotions." Harmony Within - The Power That Moves You will also be a participatory workshop, which will include an aerobic workout to music that will "move you" followed by a stretch and relaxation session that will "soothe you". "Music throughout history has been a therapeutic tool to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being," says facilitator Carolyn Hancox. "Different forms of music elicit certain responses in each individual - from peacefulness to power." Hancox is the owner of Fraser Valley Fitco, a fitness training and consulting company, and the fitness director for Pacific Athletic Club in Clearbrook. She has a degree in music and a diploma in recreation and fitness training and has created a 16-year career by combining these two areas of interest. "Diets are a thing of the past," says Marianne Banman, a fitness instructor/trainer, workshop facilitator and lecturer. "Diets don't work! It's time to reprogram the diet thinking of the '80s to the healthful living thinking of the '90s." Banman, who manages a provincial network of over 60 health and fitness professions inthe area of wellness and weight management programming, will lead the workshop You Count- Calories Don't, which will offer a realistic approach to the issues of ' nutrition and body image. "The new weight management concept is one of empowerment, size acceptance and eating for health," says Banman. "Imagine feeling good about yourself while tasting, savouring and enjoying a world of delicious foods without the shame, blame and fear of failure often attached to traditional weight loss programs. "Self acceptance builds confidence and confidence breeds the desire to choose the foods that will nourish your body. We will delve into the issues of the fat dilemna in our food and our bodies, the problems of trying to be perfect, and making weight control a permanent non-issue." Other workshops include Creating a Total Image; Relax, Revitalize, Rejuvenate; Values, Beliefs & Priorities; and Hand Reflexology. Jacquie Allan-Gye, master fitness leader, will give the keynote address which will focus on techniques, attitudes, values and behaviours that enhance a healthy lifestyle. "I really believe we have to take responsibility for our own health," says Allan-Gye. "I will focus on strategies for harmonizing the mind, body and spirit, dealing with the stress and complexities in our lives today, and learning the importance of networking. By sharing our experience, strength and knowledge we empower and. nurture ourselves and other women." The Green Heart Chorus, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International will provide lunch- time entertainment. The Chilliwack chorus helps to keep the American folk art of four-part harmony alive and healthy. Registration for Women in the Valley is being accepted now at all UCFV centres. The fee is $25 for one workshop or $45 for two. In addition to the workshops, the fee includes the keynote address, lunch, entertainment and the wind-up tea.

V993- 11 ROCKIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT By KURT LANGMANN The latest incarnation of Jefferson Starship did their "unplugged" concert last week at the Commodore, in promotion of their new three-CD compilation of their greatest years from the Airplane days to the more current songs. Without Grace Slick there they couldn't sell the place out, but Paul Kantner and his stripped-down band enjoyed themselves. They covered a lot of territory, including the old Weavers' song, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, along with Kantner's originals. Unplugged is a trend I really enjoy, even if everybody keeps telling me, "It's the economy, stupid." Down to the basic bare bones minimum is also the operating strategy of Cindy Church, currently touring with guitarist Nathan Tinkham and drummer Tom Moon. They stopped off at a friend's home in Bradner last week before tooling down the road to Island concerts in a faithful old Ford van. They play the Matsqui Concert Hall this Sunday evening, 7:30 p.m., and tickets,are $12 at The Star's reception counter. Church told me that her larger band, the Rhythm Rangers is available for larger venues, but for this tour the trio is "easy to transport, works .musically ~ we've worked together for eight or nine years now." All have done serious stints as sidepersons with Ian Tyson's band and in his studio recordings, and Church and Tinkham were also two-thirds of the Great Western Orchestra. They all live in the Black Diamond/ Turner Valley area of Alberta. Church is now seeking a record deal for her new Love On The Range album, and have two companies waiting for her to "decide which way to go." The GWO sold a very respectable 12,000 copies for Sony Records in Canada and everyone in the industry remembers her favorably. The 12,000 sales "weren't bad and it was mostly from radio play as the band didn't tour a lot" "None of the Sony artists are selling that amount these days,"' notes Tinkham. The new album offers about half original new songs along with covers of her old favorites from the likes of Lefty Frizzell and Marty Robbins. "If I could have a Marty Robbins song on every album I'd be happy," laughs Church. Prospective singles from the album include Rockabilly Heart, the title song, Maybe We Should Stay Strangers, and a song that was on the GWO album, Cowgirl's Lullaby. The latter song was "almost released -Paul Kantner captained Jefferson Starship's voyage into the past at the Commodore, Thursday. -Kurt Langmann photo HELPING HANDS Fran Dowie and his puppets are featured in Surrey Art Gallery's Talking Hands: The Art of Puppetry, April 3 to June 27.

She said the process of building her solo career, establishing her own identity, is the first Cindy Church priority. They hope to ensure a good summer season of festivals, apearances, including an August visit to her native Nova Scotia. "The Maritimes are just loaded with festivals," observes Church, adding that her family is eager to see her after her last trip there, three years ago. "They're not a large extended family, but they're just as persistent. They keep saying, 'Get back here — now!'" By that time she hopes to have her album on the nation's store shelves with some solid promotion behind her. In the mean- Please see page 12...

Book reading features Flood LANGLEY- The Langley Writers Guild present a reading by Cynthia Flood at Michaud House in Langley, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. Flood, who resides in Vancouver, was selected from a series of participating Canadian Writers sponsored by the Canada Council. The program is intended to increase knowledge and appreciation of Canadian writing and to provide opportunities for writers to read from their works and discuss them with the public.

Her work has been frequently anthologized, most recently in Streets of Attitude, (winner of the City of Toronto Prize 199D and in Canadian short Stories, Fifth Series, edited by Robert Weaver. Her fiction has been read on various CBC programs, and one story became part of the feature film Martha Ruth and Edie, directed by Deepa Mehta, (1988). Flood's new collection of short fiction, My Father Took a Cake to France, has just been published by Talonbooks. The title story won the $10,000 Journey Prize in 1990.

These five siblings first grabbed my ear about 18 months ago when I marvelled that their Fare Thee Well Love album was still not picked up by a big record company. Now they're distributed by Capitol Records, which also released their first album about a year ago, and they've been featured on a number of TV specials, and things just keep growing bigger and better for these talents. Also selling fast are seats to Gordon Lightfoot's April 14 show at the Orpheum. He's also just released a compilation of his greatest recordings that's a testament to Canadian talent Alternatives are the April 8 and 9 Commodore shows of Vancouver's 54-40 and The Pursuit Of Happiness. They've both recently released major label albums that will ensure concert sellouts across the country. Sting follows up on his joyful Ten Summoners Tales album with a concert at BC Place, May. 4. That will be something to see. Jim Witter Pick recording of this week is Ontario's Jim Witter, whose self- tided debut on PRE Records is a substantial and thoroughly enjoyable country-rocker with great ballads, too. At 28 years and with 90210-type good looks, he's got it made-(he's married, with child, by the way). He's like Steve Wariner in that he's a musician's musician (in Witter's case, the piano) and blessed with a golden baritone that begs for radio play. What's more, he's a pretty good song writer, too. His lyrics aren't distinctive, as they could have come from anywhere on the continent, but they are pleasant words that match some exceptional melodies. He stumbled into country when he took the job of entertaining Tommy Hunter's audience between set changes, and now says, "I love country music. It's honest and real, exactly how I like to think of myself." ' His songs do betray his influences, which include the Eagles, Beatles, James Taylor, Elton John and Billy Joel. Everything And More is his first single and it's a killer song, but there's lots more: listen for Chevy Coupe, Stolen Moments, Hey Brando, the list goes on. When Things Get Back To Normal ranks up there with the best Elton John ballads, with its cello and piano backing. He recorded this in two weeks in Nashville? Wow! Handel choir , sings Bruckner WHITE ROCK - The Handel Society Choir, under the direction of Karel ten Hoope, presents Bruckner's magnificent, majestic Mass in F Minor and Te Deum on Saturday, April 17, at 8 p.m. at Peace Portal Alliance Church, White Rock and on Sunday, April 18, at 2 p.m. at St. Augustine Church, \&ncouver.

Music lovers were treated to the Trinity Western Choir with members of the Vancouver Symphony last Sunday at White Rock Baptist Church. Choral director Wes Janzen said the choice of Bach's SL John's Passion, "powerfully portrays the ahet and envy of the mob who cried for Jesus to be killed 2000 years ago and also clearly conveys the love, forgiveness and mercy that Jesus displayed, even to those who hated Him and put Him to death. These are timeless wonders, which can move listeners, even in 1993. Our choir members love singing this music because ifs so moving." The choir recently advanced to the national finals of the CBC choral competition, and regularly sing with the VSO in the Orpheum.

APRIL 1. 1993 Legion gala brings back 30 years of fine memories By JUNE WILLSON ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Legion Branch 265 celebrated its 30th anniversary on 20 March 1993 with a special dinner and dance. Thanks to Sharon Brady and Chris Riopelle for arranging for such a wonderful job on the decorations. Each table had several yellow and blue flower arrangements with matching balloons. A large cake was only a temporary decoration and it was cut by the most senior veteran, George Ives. The Ladies Auxiliary served a wonderful dinner and there was more than enough food to satisfy everyone. Sandra Gibson, our resident Avon lady, very generously placed some of her nice perfume and handsoap in the ladies washroom for guests to use, which was a nice touch. Branch president Liz Avery was also celebrating her birthday - she really had a big party. Many out of town guests came to renew old friendships and it was nice to see them. Dancing to the Frank McCormack Band was enjoyed until the early hours by people who really know how to kick up their heels.

Many groups have benefitted from the Legion's generosity over the years - cubs, scouts, cadets, sports teams, students, veterans in need, and the Alder Grove Heritage Society. The community as a whole was welcomed to stay at the hall a couple of years ago when the power was off for an extended period of time and many homes had no power or heat.

After going out for a couple of months we decided to move in together. Well,-that's not really true. She decided that living with me was the best thing for us and before I really knew what was happening, she had brought over her suitcases filled with clothes, a couple of packed trunks, a tea- chest full of underwear and a laundry hamper filled with socks. Don't get me wrong, I really like this girl and want things to work out for us. It's just that I have been a bachelor all my life and this sudden turnaround is a big surprise. What was also a big surprise was one day I came home from work and she had had new locks installed on the door to my apartment. After patiently knocking on the door for an hour, I had to walk across town to stay at my friend's place. Now I my girlfriend just leaves my answering machine on the telephone all the time and I don't even know if she gets the messages I have been leaving her. I'm getting a little tired of wearing the same clothes every day. And I don't know how much longer my friend will let me sleep on his couch? What do you think I should do? Signed: Confused and in love. Dear Confused, I have already told my daughter to steer clear of you so why come crying to me? Get a life and stop blubbering, you big baby. Dear Annabelle, Have y<>ijvheard the news about the Fall Fair? Well, let me enlighten you and your thousands of readers. This year the Aldergrove Fall Fair is having a Miss Nude Aldergrove contest. Can you imagine? What is the world come to? From what I heard someone has said this is the way to pull people in and make some money. Can we as a town that believes in the Golden Rule really go along with this? Is there no salvation for these barbarians? Can one not go to the Fall Fair and look at the vegetables, cakes and fancy sewing without having to see ' naked people baring themselves? To me this is the essence of the fair, to look at the displays from gardeners, sewers and hobbiests, etc., and not be disturbed by the fair sex displaying their charms for all to see. I, for one, will not be in attendance this year. Or maybe I should go but just picket outside? Inside, of course would . be better, what do you think? Supposing it rains? I'll have to go inside, won't I? Anyway Annabelle, I think we should all be told about this travesty. Things are not looking up in Aldergrove if this is what the movers and shakers are trying to hand us. Pretty soon we will look like another Surrey, won't we? I also heard that the contestants in this contest have all been imported from Vancouver. What about our daughters here in Aldergrove? I'm mad and darned proud of it! Signed: Bill W. Dear BUI, Be sure I will try to get to the bottom of this. The naked truth should be revealed to all and sundry. By the way, I never had a letter with so many question marks before. Do you think it might become a trend? a a a a a AND DEAR READERS, Don't forget what Walter Savage Landor, (1775-1864) wrote probably close to this date: When we play the fool, how wide The theatre expands! beside How long the audience sits before us! How many prompters! What a chorus! Happy April Fool's Day. Love, Annabelle. Wildlife day at old fort FORT LANGLEY - This town will be celebrating National Wildlife Week on April 4. The National Historic Site will be hosting displays by wildlife groups including the Langley Field Naturalists, the Canadian Wildlife Service, Wildlife Rescue Association, Monika's Wildlife Rescue, the Greater Vancouver Regional District and others. This will be an opportunity for your family to learn about the wildlife of Langley and some of the problems wildlife faces as the township develops. There will be displays, a walking tour and small animals from the Vancouver Game Farm. The purpose of Wildlife Week is to highlight public awareness and education about wildlife resources and conservation. Wildlife Week was declared in 1947 following a unanimous vote in Parliament for the National Wildlife Act. The date of wildlife week was set so to include April 10, the birthdate of the late conservationist Jack Miner. In 1904, he founded the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary near Windsor, Ontario. In his lifetime, Jack Miner played a major role in creating public interest amongst Canadians about wildlife. Through his work, conservation statutes such as the Migratory Birds Convention Act of 1916 were adopted along with a variety of other legislation to protect wildlife. Admission will be free, and for information call 888-4424. Euthanasia for Tara By FRANCES EVANOFF JUBILEE - She is just a shadow of her former self, melting away, victim of her old age and some unknown enemy bent on destroying her. She still patrols this patch of her world with dimming eyes and ears that hear imagined sounds, legs that barely now support her, so frail, that crumple beneath as she braves the pain suffered in silence. It happened so swiftly. Winter's cold hands offered no comfort and what she ate sparingly only fed the enemy within. And I watch and wrestled with my conscience, wincing with her every move. She was my dear companion and filled so much of the space around me; how could I bear to lose her? But today I said my goodbyes. I feel she understood and was ready for my last commitment to her welfare. We held her and stroked her still lovely head while a needle used by a compassionate vet gently put her to sleep. But I was the one that finally opened the gate so she could seek new trails to follow, where pain will always elude her. Some would say she was only a dog; but more than that, she was a true and loving companion -1 was the lucky one! Salmon fry release returns to West Creek By AL GRANT ALDERGROVE - The West Creek Watershed Protection Group is having its third annual Easter Sunday Salmon Fry Release on Sunday April 11 at 6028 - 272 Street at approx. 2 p.m. All are welcome. The release is put on by the Federal Fisheries Salmon Enhancement Program, assisted by the West Creek Watershed Protection Group, further assisted by kids and volunteers who will help to bucket chum salmon fingerlings into West Creek. The purpose of these releases, in addition to enhancing salmon stocks, is to increase public awareness of streams, their inhabitants salmon, trout, and the organisms on which they depend. To increase awareness of the need for clean streams and clean watersheds, and to encourage residents to protect the resource. This year we are pleased that the "public awareness" of West and Nathan Creeks will be improved by Langley Municipality's placement of signage last week on both creeks. W.C.W.P.G. proposed the signage six months ago, the proposal was endorsed by the then existing Township Environment Committee and Council agreed to this relatively inexpensive and ongoing means of increasing public awareness. The signs were made up by Langley Township's own sign department and the signs are now in place at seven locations on West Creek and two locations on Nathan Creek. The "yellow fish" is used on the sign as it is a well recognized image in some communities, where the Storm Drain Marking program has been active. W.C.W.P.G. will be paying half the cost of construction of these signs however it is our hope that the Municipality, now' that it has the model, will be encouraged to place signage on a number of other Langley streams. Sign now marks West Creek's salmon enhancement program. More homes sold in February VANCOUVER - After a slow start in January, the February market for single family residential housing in B.C. showed signs of recovery, says British Columbia Real Estate Association president Gary Brady. Mortgage rates, some of them, "the lowest they have been in 30 years," are a definite spur to the market he added. Another factor leading to the improved sales was the number of new listings coming onto the market in February. When reading the monthly statistics, Brady advises potential sellers and buyers that these are only average figures and that they can be skewed due to the types and values of the properties for sale during the month. For an accurate valuation of your property, it is best to consult your local realtor.

Work party recreates old times at Fort Langley FORT LANGLEY - Every day things that we take for granted in the '90s posed much more of a challenge to Langley pioneers. The idea of the "Pioneer Work Party" is to show children how many chores they no longer have to do - work such as milking cows, churning butter, splitting shakes, and coping with a laundry without a washer and drier. Children can also dye an Easter egg with natural dyes, take home a sample of cross-stitching they have done, colour a stained glass window based on a local church window, and enjoy the sight of young farm animals. All these activities will take place at the Langley Centennial Museum on Easter Sunday, April 11, 1 to 4 p.m. There is no charge. The Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre is located at the corner of King and Mavis Streets in Fort Langley. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays, and from 1 to 4:45 on Sundays. 1989 OLDS 98 TOURING SEDAN Fully loaded with leather interior and power moonroof.

Mobile radar unit to visit local schools as citizens fight back LANGLEY - The Crime Prevention Society has purchased a radar unit and large screen^clfi?. play to be used to raise awareness about the necessity of safe driving in school and play- aground zones. The unit is being run by volunteers, but will occasionally be used by Langley RCMP traffic section for enforcement purposes. The volunteers are concerned parents, and other crime prevention program volunteers who have attended a training course in radar operation. The unit began operation in Langley on March 29, at County Line Elementary. The large screen display simply sits on the trunk or roof of a ve^ hide, and displays the speed of a vehicle in the radar beam to the driver of that vehicle, raising awareness to the speed limit in that school or playground zone. The Attorney General of British Columbia (police services) provided a grant, with the balance being raised by the Parent Advisory Councils from the following schools: Simonds, Noel Booth, Lochiel, James Kennedy, Belmont, Gordon Greenwood, Peterson Road, Parkside, South Carvolth, Alex Hope, County Line, West Langley, and Glenwood Elementary Schools and Brookswood, Langley, and D.W. Poppy Secondary Schools. "Disaster" blamed on ;J|| township LANGLEY - Complaining of an "environmental disaster", a group of Wagon Wheel Crescent residents have fired off a letter of protest to municipal parks and recreation, and its director, Bill Lindahl. Eric Stangle said the Kelly Lake and Park was deeded to the municipality by a farmer, but the government is not doing its part of ensuring that the lake is maintained properly. The lake, about 600 feet long, is being drained by a neighbor irregularly, causing havoc for the birds and fish, as well as hurting property values there. The municipality also installed a drain culvert on the lake last year, but Stangle says they have failed to survey the lake level and have not been controlling its level. The Stangles have decided to pay for a survey themselves, to be done on Friday, and have threatened legal action if the township does not get involved in monitoring the lake. Medical office |j| assistants graduate LANGLEY - Seventeen local students graduated from the Medical Office Assistant program, at the Langley College of Trade and Commerce in a ceremony held at Newlands Golf and Racquet Club. The full-time program, taught by Sylvia Williams, prepares students for employment in reception, clerical, or assistant positions in health care facilities. The graduates were Janet Colborne, Wendy Dickinson, Charlotte Friesen, Donna Hancock, Marcy Harvey, Eileen Hurler, Alice Kersbergen, Wanda Massie, Lorene McKay, Carla McKoy, Shawna McLean, Carrie Robbins, Anastasia Robinson, Tanya Schaefer, Alexis Swardh, Karen Venema, and Wanda Watford. Prospective employers are invited to contact the College for graduate resumes or program information at 530-8411. The Langley College of Trade and Commerce, which opened in 1989, offers a number of provincially-certified diploma programs in business and medical office training, computer studies, and industrial first aid. •THE'ALDERGROVE STAR; APRIL 1. 1993 17 MCGINNIS PHOTOGRAPHY & ONE HOUR PHOTO NOW (f|FERS instant colour J|j black & white copies from our new colour copy machine.

Stafford. Students and volunteers will re- enact passages based on events recorded by Lieutenant Charles Wilson of the Royal Engineers and Arthur Bushby, a young Englishman in search of adventure. According to Roger Roberts, a drama teacher at H.D. Stafford, "In Victoria and Yale bullets were whizzing everywhere at any time of the day or night," The candlelight tour is a unique way of allowing visitors to see the fort as it really appeared, lit up only by candlelight and campfires. An added bonus to this event is each tour group will only contain 20 people, so each skit can be seen without having to peer over someone's shoulder. Although visitors will get to see the skis up close, visitors are reminded that there is to be no interaction between the actors and the audience. Visitors should consider themselves as ghosts and "get out of the way because they don't see you," says Roberts. According to Roberts, "The most significant thing about such an event is that so many people are willing to give up so much of their time to make an event like this possible whether they are from Portland, Oregon or local teenagers willing to give up their Saturday night." If visitors are concerned about any cancellation, don't worry. This is event is scheduled to happen rain or shine. "Everybody's prepared - we live in the Pacific Northwest." Each tour will last approximately an hour and tickets will cost $5 each. All proceeds go to the Friends of the Fort and will be used to enhance Fort Langley Historic Park. Tickets will be pre-sold and are available at the Fort Langley Chamber of Commerce,23325 Mavis St.; Trove Cottage, 9205 Glover Rd; The Yellowhead Trading Co. Ltd., 9044 Glover, and Village Antiques and Crafts Mall, 23331 Mavis St There is only a limited number of tickets available, so patrons are advised to purchase them early.

Organized by the Vancouver Youth Theatre, this anti-racism show depicts the real life stories of what ESL students go through and how they are treated. This show has already entertained as many as 30,000 students and attracted the interest of high ranking officials such as Lt-Governor David Lam. This is the third year "Canadian Stories" has been in production, however it's the first year this group has been touring around the country. Already, the group has performed all around B.C.,and Oregon, and this summer the group will be touring Toronto and Ottawa. Helping portray the multicultural background of the various performers, two of the actors are residents of Aldergrove, Emily Stone and Trevor Roberts. According to Stone, all the performers are residents of B.C. but they have come from far off places such as Laos, Jamaica, and Australia. Rehearsals for this show are on Mondays and Thursdays. The next. scheduled performance of "Canadian Stories" is at 7 p.m. in Port Moody, and later it comes to Langley schools. Hospital gets a CT scanner LANGLEY - On March 22, health minister Elizabeth Cull announced the approval for a CT scanning service for Langley Memorial Hospital and Peace Arch District Hospital. The capital equipment costs of $800,000. will be cost-shared 60 percent by the ministry of health and 40 percent by the hospitals' local resources. The annual operating costs of $500,000 will be funded fully by the ministry of health. Dr. J. Matheson, chief radiologist at Langley Memorial says "A CT scanner is an essential component of a diagnostic imaging (radiology) department, providing cross-sectional images of structures as small as 1 mm within the brain, spine, body, or extremities. Most scans can be done within minutes with virtually no discomfort to the patient. In addition, interventional procedures such as biopsies and abscess drainages can be done using CT guidance, often avoiding more major surgery." "This is an exciting piece of news for Langley Memorial Hospital" says president and chief executive officer, Pat Zanon. "The approval of this service will enable the further development of clinical services and programs at the hospital. This is an excellent example of the government's commitment to moving services 'closer to home'. Initiatives such as this are essential to the continued provision of health care services in an area of rapid growth such as Langley. We will continue to work closely with the government in meeting the goal of "closer to home". Liberals propose ombudsman for labor VICTORIA - Liberal labor critic Gary Farrell-Collins has introduced a private members bill in the Legislature that would create an office of the Labour Ombudsman. "This is the most progressive piece of labor legislation introduced since the NDP were elected 18 months ago," said Farrell-Collins. "The Harcourt government used Bill 84, their new labor code, the strip the rights of individual workers in favor of union executives. A labor ombudsman will encourage a fair and effective complaints-handling process for all British Columbians." Farrell-Collins said his private members bill will reinstate the recourse to justice that the working women and men of British Columbia, both union and non-union, demand. "If an employer or union fails to ensure the rights of individual workers, employees should have the right to have their case heard, without having to incur the expense of hiring a private labor lawyer." The Liberal critic said he receives complaints from all over B.C. from workers who have either lost their jobs or faced some form of disciplinary action for what in many cases are unfair and arbitrary reasons. "A labor ombudsman will give all workers fair, reasonable and cost-effective recourse to impartial employment related rulings." FIVE WIN RACISM BATTLE Five Aldergrove Elementary students shared the top three prizes in Langley RCMP's "Stop Racism" poster contest.

ALDERGROVE'S 80 FAST FOR WORLD VISION "Famine" students feel the pangs By JENNIFER SIEGRIST ALDERGROVE - And you thought your high school days were tough! Students of Aldergrove High School went on a 30 hour hunger strike in order to raise money for famine relief. Starting on last Friday afternoon, students gathered in the gym to play volleyball, listen to music, and socialize with their friends in order to pass the time. According to teacher Vera Harvard who was supervising the event, students were treated to a "famine feast" prior the fast and were given juice at regular intervals to tide the students over. About 75-80 students participated in the event, which was organized by members of the students'council. To promote this event, students spent a month advertising within the school and getting a guest speaker from World Vision. There were no set fees to participate in the fast, however, students were required to be sponsored in order toxaise money for relief. Although this was the first time this type of event was held at Aldergrove High School, other high schools within the district had held 30 hour fast previously. Final fundraising figures from the Aldergrove event were not available at presstime. Aldergrove Secondary students participating in the 30 hour famine last week spent their time in a variety of activities. -Kurt ungmann photo Somalians take refuge in church LANGLEY - A Somalian woman and her four children entered their second week of sanctuary at a Langley church this week. Amina Mohamed and her family were ordered by the Canadian Immigration authorities to return to the U.S., from where she entered this country, and y \ ALDERGROVE CREDIT UNION ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING at the ALDERGROVE KINSMEN I COMMUNITY CENTRE 26770 - 29th Avenue, Aldergrove |§ Tuesday, April 13th, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. immigration minister Bernard Valcourt has said he will not overturn the deportation order. Valcourt said the U.S. authorities would not return Somalian. citizens to that country unless they are convicted felons. Mohamed, a divorced Muslim, said she will stay at the Mennonite Fellowship Church until authorities reconsider her plight Her lawyer said that they believe that Americans would send her and children back to Somalia. Mohamed and her four sons, aged seven to 15 years, came to Vancouver in February of 1991 and applied for political refugee status. Although the situation in Somalia has stabilized somewhat with the UN intervention, it would not be uncommon for Mohamed's older children to be forcefully "drafted" into a rebel army. The family has no remaining family left in Somalia, and as a divorcee she would be shunned in that society. Due to her former husband's involvement in the war in that country, Mohamed had been subjected to interrogation and searches, and her home and city have been destroyed by the conflict Church pastor Henry Krause said the congregation is willing to provide sanctuary as long as they need it and the immigration department has said they will not enter the church to enforce the deportation order. While the tedium of the stay at the church is taking its toll on the family, they hope that Canada, will reconsider their plight Columbia alumni group reactivated §1!

AAA on the move again By DAVID HOCKIN Once the proud holders of a large tract of land in central Aldergrove, your local Agricultural Association is looking to establish a permanent home again. Some eighty years of community involvement leaves no doubt in the minds of members that this is a community well positioned .to grow with the times. A revitalized Agricultural Association has its sights on building a multi-purpose complex to be the permanent home of the Aldergrove Fall Fair as well as host to equestrian and livestock shows throughout the year. They look forward to forging new partnerships with the many organizations interested in promoting the agriculture industry in the Fraser 'S&lley. It is by no mistake that I pause here to focus on an example of community partnership that really works. In this day of government deficits and taxes upen taxes the funding for many worthy community projects have come to rest almost entirely on charitable gaming. Aldergrove's Players Bingo Hall came at just the right time for many of Aldergrove's struggling non-profit organizations. Located in Aldergrove Centre Mall, the hall is a bee hive of activity as diligent management and kind, courteous, dedicated staff and volunteers all interact to provide state of the art gaming events. You, the player, "the most important part of the equation" find relaxation, good food and a welcome smile as you while away a few hours with friends and neighbours. Purchasing products in returnable bottles for refill is one way you can help reduce our landfill problem. For more information call the B.C. Recycling Hotline 7 3 2-9253 GREATER VANCOUVER 1-800-667-4321 . British Columbia Handle with care afegj BC f&m Environment I have drawn your attention to just one of the many ways in which the Aldergrove Agricultural Association is putting its share of gaming revenues back to work in our community. A little later on we will talk more about how your money helps us host the Fall Fair, provides funding for the Food Bank and our extended bursary program. Until we meet again at Players Bingo remember, "A smile returned is a heart warmed." Where did all the players go? Byfi&T PROZESKY ALDERGROVE - Only seven tables were in play at the Aldergrove Choral Group's Whist Party last Thursday, but despite the poor attendance a good time was had by all. Clara Yeo emerged as winner of first prize for the ladies, with husband, Prowse Yeo, coming second for the men. Ed Limpright was first among the men, and his wife, Joanne, won one of the hidden score prizes. So it was pretty much a family affair. .' Rose Henderson won ladies second prize, and the other hidden score pi&e was won by Charlie Delves. Getting back to Prowse Yeo and Ed Limpright, they also finished one-two at the February Whist Party. If they do it again next month, it will have become a habit. The next Whist Party is scheduled for April 29, 7:30 p.m. at the O.A.P. Hall, 273 Street and 30 Avenue. For information call 856-6610. Campaign nears halfway mark LANGLEY - Stepping Stone Clubhouse is a step closer to realization. The $900,000 capital fundraising Campaign to build a permanent facility to provide day rehabilitative programs to adults recovering from mental illness, is approaching the halfway mark. Recent generous major donations have been received from the W. Garfield Weston Foundation ($50,000), the Soroptimist International of the Langleys (15,000), the Brooks- wood Lions ($5,000) and the Langley branch of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society ($2,000). "We are awaiting finalization of the site leased by the City of Langley and then we will be ready to break ground for the actual construction of the Clubhouse", said Dr. Barbara Foxwell, campaign co-chairman. "Everyone involved with the project is getting very excited. The site has been surveyed, and we are awaiting the results of soil testing." The Stepping Stone Society provided rehabilitative programs for Langley adults who are recovering from mental illness and currently leases a small house at Michaud Crescent and 201 Street, which is woefully inadequate for their needs. The society is in the process of raising $900,000 to build a completely new, customized facility adjacent to their current premises, on land donated .by the City of Langley. The $50,000 from the Weston Foundation will be used to equip and furnish the computer and business experience area, where clubhouse clients will be taught computer and office skills, to enable them to reenter the work force. The campaign team thanks all those individuals, businesses and groups who have supported Langley Stepping Stone so far in their project. Anyone wishing to contribute to the cmapaign is invited to call Stepping Stone House at 530- 5033, or to send their donation to the Langley Stepping Stone Rehabilitative Society Capital Campaign, 5470 - 201 Street, Langley, B.C.

Programs and facilities need to expand if we are to meet the needs of the ever- increasing number of seniors predicted to be living here by the year 2000.

Pensioners need to renew now VICTORIA - British Columbia seniors who want to receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement and Spouses' Allowance Benefits on their April Old Age Security cheques should send their applications to the Income Security Programs Branch regional office before the March 31, 1993 deadline. Ann Moskow, regional director of the Income Security programs branch of Health and Welfare Canada in British Columbia, explained that the application kits were mailed out in January and should now have been received by all eligible seniors. Pensioners who feel they qualify for these benefits and have not received a kit can pick up application forms at any Income Security programs office. "Benefits paid through these programs are based on the applicant's previous year's income. This means recipients must reapply each year," Moskow continued. "Individuals who do not expect to have any income to declare are encouraged to return their completed renewal forms as soon as possible." Pensioners who have income from sources such as bank interest, private pension plans or employment are being asked to wait until they receive the appropriate T-slips to confirm the actual amounts of income before returning their applications.

APRIL 1. 1993 21 Great big excitement at manor Kwantlen College interior design students display their birdhouses, each created for a particular bird species. Their design solutions are a folk art collection of functional birdhouses reflecting a diversity of architecture and design philosophies dating from the late 1880s to present Instructor Lesley Neufeld said it was a creative way to teach design principles: "The final models are an exciting culmination of many skills and styles. During the process, students dealt with research, project definition, conceptualization and production." Pleasing our feathered friends is easy PENTICTON - Wax Wing Enterprises are marketing a unique bird house that's guaranteed to please the feathered friends. Proprietor Clayton Truman is selling "artificial nest cavities" made from cored out logs, according to dimensions found in the wild. He says that many commercial birdhouses are not satisfactory to birds, while his are the type that birds have evolved to choose as best for their needs. "Chances are that if the consumer thinks a nest box is cute, the bird won't like it," says Truman. He uses trees already dead from infestations of Mountain Pine Beetle. These trees would have been burned otherwise, but are promised to be free of the insects. Truman says the only better way to make the nests is to "contract the work out to a woodpecker." He says he selis a lot of the nests to golf courses, because these operators often have to remove dead wood that may be dangerous to the golfing public. The holes in the ground which are filled with water then attract flying insects which bother golfers. "When artificial cavities are installed, the birds which eat these insects return and a family of them may eat many thousands of insects a day." Truman, an avid bird watcher, says his cavities retail for less than $10, and can be shipped Workshop registration LANGLEY - Registration for the Spring Session of groups and workshops at Langley Family Services will be held April 2 and 3 at Willowbrook Mall during mall hours. If you are unable to register at that time, registrations will be taken after April 5 by calling Langley Family Services at 534-7921. Further details can be found in the Learning in Langley magazine on page 64 or you can call Agnes at Langley Family Services, 534- 7921. anywhere ordered along with advice on installation and usage. Including shipping, they are $9.75 each or two for $18. Truman's address is 258 Scott Avenue, Penticton, B.C. V2A 2J5. By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Big excitement in downtown Vancouver when Kim Campbell announced her intentions to be a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party. All her supporters were out in full force. Something new every day. Wouldn't it be funny if we had a lady P.M., or would it be? It's nice to hear that Mr. and Mrs. Beggs are settling in at Jackman Manor. The rag cutter crew were happy to have Myrtle . back at the Thrift Shop Tuesday. The Whist Party on Thursday at the OAP hall was not very well attended, some sick, some away. Too bad seven tables are not enough to make it worthwhile and yet the ones who come so faithfully enjoy it. The Art Club are having a Spring show in the Aldergrove Mall, actually at Dody's old place beginning April 1 and continuing through the month of April. Frank is still giving art classes at the OAP halL Another item of interest, the Heritage Society is pre-selling their history book and are hoping to have it out for Christmas. Anyone interested in ordering a book contact the Heritage Society. Compliments have been flying around about the newly renovated washrooms at the hall. Thanks goes to Arnold Kydd and Charlie Delves for the hours of work they've put in there. About 54 attended the Wednesday dance. 50-50 went to Mary Ewachu and Bill Kazlowski. Spot dance was won by Helen and Cliff Souther. Frank Sutton's birthday was celebrated. The Saturday dance had a gcod crowd, about 85- Door pri::es went to Koney and Betty Preister. Three 50-50 were given ouc, one to Lorraine Verboom, one to Dorothy (didn't get the surname) from Chilliwack and one to Ab Kay. The Spot dances went to George Speren and Elaine and Dorothy Sekenka and Hazel from Chilliwack. Chris Lockhart was welcomed back on Saturday night. Chris has been attending the OAP dances for many years. Grace Ross and Thelma Chaplow from Pioneer Park were welcomed as first time visitors. The birthdays of Thelma Brunskill, Kay (didn't get her last name) and Barney Goble were celebrated. This week the Westernaires will provide the music and the following week the Happy Gang. A couple of gals informed me they need some more men at the dances, preferably good dancers. Come on guys, get with it. Carpet bowling this week was interesting to say the least; men versus women. Guess what? The ladies won. There were fourteen out, two carpets in play. Don't forget the General Meeting at the OAP hall the first Friday of the month (Apr. 2) at the hall at 1:30 p.m. Speaker to be Jeannine McCarthy from the Alzheimer's Society. Choral Group has one more engagement this month, the Menno Hospital, Mar. 30. Hope Ken Fletcher will soon be out of the hospital and home where he belongs. This seems to be all for this week. I'm on my way to the Potluck Dinner at the OAP hall. The last Sunday of the month is reserved for Potluck so come on out and enjoy a social evening next month. We always try to be patient with any person who disagrees with us. After all they are entitled to their own ridiculous opinions.

The Aldergrove resident's spirits have been pretty low. since he was diagonosed with a rare form of skin cancer. Even though Rioun does receive a welfare pension, he finds it isn't enough to support himself with his condition. After pleading his case to both social services and local MLA Gary Farrell-Collins, Rioun was still turned empty handed. According to Farrell-Collins' office, Rioun can't receive any additional help because he is already receiving the maximum he is allowed. However, according to the MLA's office, if Rioun wasn't already receiving the full amount he is entitled to, then Farrell- Collins would be able to assist Rioun. ALDER RADIATOR Drive in WORKS Ltd.

It takes forever to find a way out." "I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place but, it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out." "I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in.. .it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where 1 am. It is my fault. I get out immediately." "I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it." "I walk down another street." Think about it! i Reward m boosted LANGLEY - The family of slain Angela Richards hopes to hear new evidence that may help convict the murderer after raising their reward fund to $30,000. Police have a suspect in the June 20, 1992 killing of Richards, 24, in her Brookswood-area 200 Street apartment and also believe that someone who lived near Richards has the information they need to press charges. This suspect is a parolee with a record of similar crime, and lived near Richards at the time of her death. The suspect has since moved elsewhere in the valley. He is in his mid-40s and married. Information can be called to RCMP, 532-3200. New partyfcalls for ' referendum on NAFTA NANAIMO - Mel Hurtig, leader of the National Party of Canada, announced that the party will begin petitioning for a referendum to be held on the North American Free Trade Agreement during the next federal election. "This is far too important an issue to be settled only by politicians," said Hurtig, after' speaking to a crowd of supporters in Nanaimo. "NAFTA will further erode our ability to control our own future the way normal nation-sates do." The National party, which plans to run 200 candidates in the next election, will begin circulating a nation-wide petition calling for the referendum. The collected signatures will be presented to the Governor- General on Canada Day. "NAFTA will continue the deterioration of our standard of living" said Hurtig. "The per capita standard of living has fallen by 53 percent since the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement in January 1989. NAFTA must be put to the citizens. It is time that Canadians had a right to decide for themselves issues that are fundamental to the direction of this country.".
