ALDERGROVE - Festival Days returns to the community this weekend, kicking off on Friday evening with the spectacular fireworks display at Parkside. This promises to be the biggest and best pyrotechnical show yet, thanks to the financial contributions of Aldergrove Kinsmen and Royal Canadian Legion. Saturday's highlight is the pa rade at 10 a.m. down Fraser Highway, and Sunday's main event will be the goofy noontime outhouse races. There will be much to do for'all ages and entertaining the kids is.the first priority of organizers. -A complete calendar of events is on page 5 of this issue, and stories about the events are featured throughout this edition.

An Aldergrove businessman and former Vancouver police officer listed current criminal activity in his town, including arsons, break and enters, holdups involving the use of handguns, murder, vandalism and general mayhem. Claiming that Langley is on the top-10 list of hot crime spots in Canada, he added that there are not enough police officers locally to keep the situation under control. MURRAYVILLE -^ group of Langley ratepayers has declared war on council. Four delegates representing the Council of Ratepayers brought various issues to council Monday night and didn't fail to mention in the process that they are working actively on unseating most of the municipal council members in the elections this coming fall. Councilors were accused of encouraging "irresponsible out- of-control development" in Langley, of not doing enough to combat local crime, and of not policing their own bylaws. But when one of the speakers intimated that "council can be bought", Mayor John Beales lost his patience. "Don't ever suggest Another speaker said CORP will be "looking for pro-active people on council" and will be backing their own candidates in the November municipal elections. Days of farming over? POPPY SCHOOL - Rules and regulations have killed farming in Langley. That was the message handed to local politicians at a public hearing here Tuesday night dealing with a township-wide re- zoning proposal aimed at enhancing the opportunities for farmers but which, according to a long row of speakers, would do just the opposite. Plans worked out by municipal council in cooperation with the township's planners would change the zoning in the greater part of the municipality in such a way that minimum-allowable lot sizes would be increased from 4.2 acres, 8.4 acres and 18.5 acres to 198 acres in new rural zones. About one thousand concerned citizens filled the seating in the D.W.Poppy theatre, and speaker upon speaker urged councilors to reconsider and to scrap the two bylaws, numbered 3250 and 3251. It is no longer possible to make a living in Langley at farming, councilors were told. People cannot afford to buy the homegrown produce because taxes and restrictions imposed by five levels of government have priced them outside all competition. The last chance to reverse this situation is for governments to change their,ways and once again make farming possible by offering tax breaks and fewer rules, the politicians were told. One farmer told of how he had tried to obtain permission to carry on with different types of farming only to be shot down by government again and again. Another said he could not put up buildings on his land without having to "walk sideways" inside because of over-restrictive setback requirements. A third said the new bylaw only would benefit "the rich." About 75 speakers were on the agenda for the evening, and most of them were rewarded with loud applause from the audience. Several delegates pointed out that with the encroachment of ur- banites moving into Langley, the regulations which at one time could be written down on a small slip of paper now take up bylaw volumes. The message was short but perhaps not so sweet: Nobody can make a living 'farming' 19-8 acres, so why fight it? Langley's farming days are over. Councilors will be mulling over this message during the coming week. They will then decide which way to go when they convene for the next regular council meeting, on Monday, June 14, at 7 p.m. Jenise Ball (centre) was chosen the 1993 Aldergrove Youth Ambassador at the pageant last week. She's accompanied by deputies, Emily Stone and Stephanie Hagerman, who will represent the community during the Festival Days celebrations and at the PNE this summer. -Kurt Langmann photo Teachers respond to massive layoff notices with job action LANGLEY - Teachers have escalated job action to exclude anything but instruction in the classroom. Langley Teachers' Association held an emergency general meeting on Monday evening in response to the 200 layoff notices issued by the school board last month. Teachers also demonstrated outside the board's regular meeting Monday night, "to express outrage over the layoffs. They are not necessary," said president Diane Gorton. "It's beyond reason that any layoffs or cuts occur in a growing district. We expect more students in September." The layoffs also affect 150 other teachers working on temporary contracts until June 30, because their positions cannot be filled until the 200 permanent teachers are recalled. "The layoff notices mean that one third of teachers in Langley will not be providing instruction for students," said Gorton. There are about 1,000 teachers in the district, and next year's enrolment is expected to increase by 380 students. At the board meeting, trustee Barbara Foxwell said that by the end of June about 150 teachers will be recalled into positions, and the other 45 will "be on top of the list for September." She said the board had to remove 45 positions because of budgetary Gravel pit draws lone protester MURRAYVILLE - A move by Langley township to open a new municipal gravel pit in south Aldergrove drew a lone protester Monday night. Brent Graham, who lives in the south western part of the township, told councilors that there isn't a need for gravel in Langley and that they instead should "meet the needs" of the local citizenry. Municipal planner Kurt Alberts said the gravel extracted from the new pit east of 272 Street would be used to maintain rural roads only. The township has put a moratorium on commercial gravel pits. restraint and the continuing uncertainty over what the teachers' settlement will cost the district, but the board hoped to rehire the IN THE PINK? Langley Teachers' Association president Diane Gorton led teachers with pink balloons during a demonstration against the pink slips handed out last week. -Kurt Langmann photo other 45 by September. Gorton said the board's move was "cynical and callous" and meant that it would be "necessary to have obtain a staffing formula" in their next contract. She also said that they would "not Sign any contract until all layoffs are rescinded." "This is a sinister attempt to intimidate teachers... and it would be a poor lesson for (the board) and the students for us to give in," said Gorton, adding that the district is top-heavy with administrators and that a "two percent raise would be less than the district's travel budget." The board disputed Gorton's claims about too many administrators. Gorton said the board spent $4-million more than the fiscal framework allows for administration. Foxwell pointed out that "most Langley administrators spend time teaching in the class," on top of their district duties. Teachers are also paid more than the provincial fiscal framework provides, said Foxwell, noting that the "actual average cost of teacher salaries and benefits for (1992-93) in Langley is $57,190," while the framework provided $49,250 in 1992-93 and increased to $55,234 for the next year. "The board believes that the problem is not where the money is spent but that there is no more money to spend. There is litde to be gained by singling out other employee groups as the problem." Foxwell also said that central office services will be reduced next year by 20 percent. The board had intended to recognize 46 20-year employees at a ceremony that night, but the 30 teachers involved boycotted the party. Demonstrating teachers outside held their own ceremony, handing out pieces of Nanaimo bars to the veteran teachers. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

The open house meeting is set for June 23, and has been moved from the Langley Elks Hall to Patricia Hall. Patricia Hall is at the corner of 8 Avenue and 264 Street, and the times are 5=30 to 9 p.m. The former landfill site is on 272 Street near 8 Avenue. The proposal from the GVRD's sewage and drainage department will not only find a disposal site for the material piling up at Annacis Island, it will also "rehabilitate the Jackman pit site," said Ken Lee, the engineer in charge of the project. Lee pointed out that the material will be mixed with sands to create a topsoil that will allow plants to grow densely on top of the old dump. This ground cover will have the benefit of trapping rainfall near the surface and "minimize leaching" of the dump material into the groundwater below. Lee said the nitrate levels of the material that will be spread will be perfectly balanced for growing and should not itself leach into the water table. He said heavy metal content is minuscule, too. The area in south Aldergrove is dependent on well water, and scientific studies have recently identified several problem areas where the nitrates from untreated animal waste used as fertilizer have entered the groundwater. Several wells have been condemned because of nitrate or pesticide contamination, and neighbors of the former Jackman dump site have also experienced serious problems with contamination leaching into their wells. Lee sent a small baggie with a sample of the material he's been developing, to The Star last week. It has the look of rich, dark compost or humus, and is odorless. Lee said the former Coquitlam landfill site was covered with the material recently with great success, and one of the brochures he included in the package showed a photo of similar material being spread on the White House front lawn. The township has given approval in principle to the concept, but are reserving final judgment until residents have their say at the open house. Lee said the proposed use at Jackman landfill will take "older material, aged in storage seven- eight years" from Annacis. It has been used with success in silviculture projects in the region, as "an organic soil enhancer in forests." A GVRD/UBC project is still underway in Maple Ridge but in a University of Washington Seattle research forest there has been up to 400 percent increase in tree growth. The GVRD produces about 55 dry tonnes of wastewater sludge every day, or 6,500 dump truck loads annually. This is expected to double over the next ten years because of secondary treatment and population growth. Traditional disposal methods such as ocean discharge, incineration, landfilling and storage are considered out of date in these environmentally conscious times, and the research is ongoing to find new uses for the treated sludge. The new approach is to create a resource out of the waste, said GVRD researchers. Lee said that "by making a top- soil at Jackman, grasses and shrubs can grow, and take up water and nutrients. It's their own supply of organic fertilizer." The township has been stymied as to what future uses could be made of the old landfill, but are considering creating a parklike landscape for wildlife, at least for the present. The landfill was closed in 1989 when the GVRD waste transfer station opened across the street, but has almost 50 years of garbage piled under the surface. Some of the older material predates the ban on this type of disposal of noxious waste such as drywall and pesticides. Highways project to go ahead BURNABY - Funding for provincial highways in the 1993/94 fiscal year will be dedicated to rehabilitation and maintenance of the existing highway system in the Fraser Valley highways district. "Rehabilitation projects will include safety related activities such as repaying, Highway #1 interchange upgrading, and the painting of road centre and . shoulder lines," said Bill Sunderwood, district highways manager. "Funding for maintenance activities in the district is already included in the ministry's contract with Yellowhead Road and Bridge." "The ministry's top priority at a time of fiscal restraint is ensuring that the current highway and bridge system remains in a good state of repair" added Sunderwood. "Our efforts are focused on projects which result in safety and traffic flow improvements and which provide a base for planned future highway developments." The rehabMitation program of the Fraser Valley district includes the upgrading of the Mt. Lehman interchange in Matsqui; funding for the design of future interchange upgrades at Sumas Way, McCallum Road and Clearbrook on Highway #1; repaving and in stallation ot concrete barrier from Anderson Creek to Jackass Mountain in the Fraser Canyon and on Highway #11 from the Murray Street overpass in Mission to Murray Street in Matsqui; repaving the Fraser Highway from Mt. Lehman Road to Station Road and McCallum Avenue from the Highway #1 to Essendene Avenue. The bridge program will include the construction of a new Tallard Creek bridge on Sylvester Road in the Mission area; the design of a new Hemlock bridge on Hemlock Valley Road and the completion of the new four-lane Stave River Bridge on the Lougheed Highway #7. Grant put on hold MURRAYVILLE - A request by the Langley Aviation Council for a $1,000 grant to assist with operating the 1993 'Langley Airport Open House' has been turned down by municipal councilors here. Coun. Aubrey Searle said the flyers could go ahead with their scheduled plans and make application to the township later if there wa$£an economic 'shortfall'. Open house is held in conjunction with the annual Langley 'Country Style' days. PARKING LOT PARTY? More than 30 Langley teachers who've served 20 years in the district received nanaimo bars from their union Monday night at a demonstration outside the school board meet ing. The veteran teachers were to have been feted at a special party hosted by the board, but teachers are angry with the layoffs announced last week and refused to attend. -Kurt Langmann photo Job-a-thon to keep J students up late I LANGLEY - To mark national Hire-A-Student week, the Langley Canada Employment Centre for students will be holding a Job- A-Thon on Friday, June 11. Student placement officers will not leave their offices until they receive a total of 50 job vacancies for the day. "We are prepared to stay by the phones until we reach our target," says officer Robert MacDonald. "Hopefully, we will not have to use our sleeping bags!" MacDonald says the office "enjoys great support from the Langley community, "However, he adds that there are currently many more students seeking work than there are jobs available.

The guidelines have been prepared by Robert Inwood, a consultant hired by the Township of Langley, who has worked whh the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee and business people in Aldergrove. The guidelines recommend a variety of signage styles, including projecting signs and sand- wich board signs. Recommendations on awnings, windows, doors, storefronts and lighting are also included in the guidelines. The guidelines provide for fa- cades that will enhance Aldergrove's distinct small town character and rural setting. To achieve this, designs that provide an imaginative skyline rather than a flat roofline are emphasized. Recommended exterior finishes emphasize historic finishes in the community, including wood siding and stucco. Colour guidelines have also been prepared to provide suggestions for appropriate colours that will enhance the appearance of buildings in downtown Aldergrove. The colours chosen for Aldergrove are based on colours from the surrounding countryside. The guidelines are intended to be incorporated as the provisions of a development permit area for commercial lands in Aldergrove. Designation of land as a development permit area by Township Council will require issuance of a development permit prior to a building permit. The development permit will specify the exterior finish of buildings, including design, material, awnings, signs, colours and landscaping. A public openhouse to enable residents and business owners to review the guidelines will be held at the Aldergrove Elk's-Hall from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 15. At 7:30 p.m. Inwood will be making a presentation on the guidelines.

Alderman sees 'good guy vs. bad guy' scenario MURRAYVILLE - To Coun, John Scholtens the police are "the good guys" and anyone who questions their methodology is not. Scholtens appeared- before a provincial commission last week to defend the police, whether they need it or not. Commission was recently set up by the provincial government to look into actions by police in -carrying out their duties. What triggered the formation of the inquiry was the shooting by police officers of a young man.in North SELL IT FAST IN THESTAfi -- CALL 856-8303 or FAX 856-5212 •Vancouver-during a drug search. "I want to say, with all due respect, that I am offended by the very existence of your commission," Scholtens told the judge. "I find it disgraceful that we are spending so much as a nickel of taxpayers dollars to investigate, in any way, policing in our province. People are concerned about violent crime, your honor, not the conduct of the police." And while Scholtens referred to the killing of the innocent young man as "a tragic event"; he gave his version of what he believed led up to the shooting. f*Jbj "I have followed that case with some interest," he said, "and I will offer my impressions, as I understand it, police officers carrying out a lawful search warrant, entered a home. They were con fronted by a man, .hpldihg a gun in his hands (an air rifle), who was intoxicated beyond the point of legal impairment. We are all troubled by the events that ensued, and we all share the grief of this man's family. We can all understand their anguish." He went on, "I am amazed that the attorney general would undermine the morale and the good faith of our police officers by instituting an enquiry into policing in light of the publicity surrounding this case. To me, it amounts to second-guessing these courageous men and women, and to me, no good can come of it." The attorney general and the premier of the province owe the police officers involved an apology "and a full vote of confidence," Scholtens said. He then took potshots at the judges and the justice system by telling the presiding judge that the people of the province are "quickly losing faith" in judges and that these "are becoming the criminals' best friends." Scholtens concluded, "Leave the good guys alone. Start looking out for the innocent and the helpless. Go after the crooks, not the police. Thank you."

And while colleague John Scholtens agrees that "we cannot provide a soap box for everybody and his brother", Coun. Aubrey Searle believes that the citizens have a right to be heard. "We must be for all people, all of the time," he says. And as far as the trade agreement goes, he adds, "it will affect every Canadian."

JUNE 10. 1993 At deadline... Please, don't sing the praise of police By RUDY LANGMANN Now, dont get me wrong. But I don't agree with Councilor John Scholtens going to bat for the police. For one thing, I dont think they need him to defend their actions. And for another, I thoroughly disagree with the Scholtens concept of 'good guy versus bad guy'. By and large, I think our police are doing a reasonably good job in keeping law and order in the land. That said, I see absolutely nothing wrong in now and then investigating the police and their actions. And not by themselves, please, but rather by an unbiased outside body. They are not infallible. They are not superhumans. They are rather ordinary mortals like thou and I. They can make mistakes. They can even, and it has been proven in some cases, be the 'bad guys' to use the Scholtens terminology. - Yes, police officers can be criminals, too. It has been known to happen. And they can blunder. I am not saying that is what happened when they gunned down an apparently innocent 19-year-old youth in North Vancouver. It's not up to me to say, as I, as little as Coun. Scholtens, know the full details. But I would like to know. And if it was a tem'ble blunder, I would like to be assured that it is not going to happen again - for a long time. That's why we have an inquiry, and I believe the provincial government did right in appointing a judge to head this body. I would hate to think that Canadian society was quickly becoming a police state - like some dictatorial regime - where a uniform, a gun and a badge ensured the wearer of no responsibility for his or her actions and of being able to do as he or she pleased at any given time. If a mistake occurred, well, too bad, but it could be quickly swept under the rug. Personally, I don't think any responsible law enforcement officer would want that either. At least I hope not. A police officer is a police officer because it is a chosen career. A responsibility goes with any job. We civilians pay for the upholding of law and order, and should be respectful of but absolutely not overawed by the people in uniform. Finally, I think it is adding insult to injury for the Posse family when Councilor Scholtens tries to explain away the tragic event by saying that the youngster (who incidentally wanted to become a police officer himself) was "intoxicated beyond the point of legal impairment." My guess is, that Scholtens doesn't know that for sure. It would be another thing that would be brought up during the inquiry. Aside from that, I cannot help but wonder if the local councilman would have adopted quite the same 'too bad, but let it be' attitude if his son had been the central figure in the tragedy. P.S. Incidentally, John, I do agree that judges not are infallible either. Who is?

LARRY KYDD District Chief, Langley User pay inevitable for highways? Editor, The Star, Sir, Transportation Week (June 7- 12) seems like a good time to ask this question: Should the cash-short government of British Columbia invite the private sector to finance, build and operate at least some of the major public highways, bridges and transit system additions we need so desperately in this province? I'm sure many of your readers have grown impatient over the long wait for highway improvements in the growing Langley and Aldergrove areas. The B.C. government apparently plans to get on with some construction soon. It will have more resources to apply to much-needed work in your region, sooner rather than later, if it invites the private sector to finance, build and operate major facilities on a user-pay basis. Why should your readers have to wait while government directs its available financial resources to build a replacement for the Lions Gate Bridge? The private sector is prepared to finance, build and operate a Lions Gate Bridge replacement on a user- pay basis, leaving government resources available to address other needed projects. There is plenty of evidence that such an initiative could reduce costs, deliver needed new roads, bridges and transit system additions sooner rather than later, do so on a user-pay basis for major projects - all without adding to provincial debt or taxes. Capital is available. Investors are ready to respond. In fact, Transportation and Highways Minister Charbonneau has said several have already made proposals to the B.C. government. Taking advantage of that willingness holds strong potential for many benefits to the province, not the least of them the creation of many new jobs at a time when they are very much needed. At a recent symposium, the B.C. Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association heard from several people with experience in the private financing, building and operation of public highways. Carl Williams is from the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), which has half a dozen privately-financed highways projects under way. John Simpke of Price Waterhouse works with the Ontario government and others in such projects. Chris Grieb of Peter Kiewit Sons Co., is directly involved in a number of programs. Mr. Williams and Mr. Simpke said the shortage of public funding is a major reason for involving the private sector in this way. Mr. Simpke noted that experience has shown cost savings can be as much as 20 per cent over the operating life of the facility. Mr. Grieb cited several benefits - the injection of new capital and new jobs into the economy; a shorter schedule of development, earlier availability of the facility and cost-savings from private- sector efficiencies, and a reduction in pressures on government resources, including personnel, bonding capacity and taxation. The province then could put some of those resources to use in proper overall planning for future growth, thereby replacing the present fragmented approach, in which too many self interest groups are involved, with a positive, coordinated approach. That's especially needed in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley where there already is an urgent requirement for improve ments to facilitate movement of goods and people via an efficient highways and public transit system. We don't have to wait for the Greater Vancouver Regional District's 2021 study to tell us congestion exists! ! That the concept of private sector financing of public infrastructure works is demonstrated by examples from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico and elsewhere in the world. The concept is not only workable. It is effective in delivering a finished product at lower cost and in a shorter time than happens under our current practices. In fact, we can find a good example even closer to home - the current expansion and upgrading of Vancouver International Airport as a private-sector initiative. Some of the experience also shows that government, in using the private sector to help build public transportation infrastructure, can address such social goals as encouraging increased use of public transit simply by building suchigoals into proposal calls and thereby tapping the innovative genius of the private sector. In the financial bind governments face today, I believe it is inevitable that British Columbia will follow the lead of others and that at least some of our needed major new bridges and highways will be privately built, financed and operated - and direcdy paid for by users. We invite you and your readers to join us in encouraging the Transportation and Highways Minister to pursue this concept forthwith. ROD FRU Chairman B.C.

Owner-operator Doug Fraser of north Delta says he is collecting miniature rides, and four of them should be ready to go this Saturday and Sunday. These rides are only for the little ones, under ten years, as the size is limiting. The fefris wheel, for example is only 14 feet high. Fraser also has a tiny merry-go- round, a dragon moon walk, and the newest addition, mini 1959 electric Edsel cars on a track. He will also have a games trailer, for which he promises that every child will win a prize. "Have you ever seen a kid's face at the carnival when he's told he lost? The kid wants a prize so we basically let them play until they win," said Fraser. Tickets are $2 each, or $18 for ten, and can be used for rides or games. Fraser said his crew is "a real nice cleancut group... would-be actors and out-of- work children entertainers." The carnival will run from about 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Dancing Bear a story theatre ALDERGROVE - Dancing Bear Story Theatre is a new unique troupe performing original stories and music for children.

Rezoning studied MURRAYVILLE - A request for rezoning of a 20-acre parcel at' 9320 - 200 Street has been sent back to staff for further recommendations. District councilors have asked their planners to "look at the traffic connector" proposed to tie in with the freeway system and a planned Fraser River bridge to Maple Ridge before councilors once more will consider the application filed by Bill's Investment. Owner consortium has asked for rezoning to allow a mixture of residential and industrial use. ALDERGROVE - The F.J. Hart/B.C. Tel Building will be open to the public over the Festival Days weekend.

On June 5 and 6 the Langley Minor Football Association hosted its annual junior spring training camp at City Park. The camp acquainted over one hundred boys aged six to 12 with the basic skills required for the game of football. With the participants divided into several groups each coach stressed the need for good sportsmanship and teamwork as well as demonstrating the technical skills that each player should develop to advance through the many levels of minor football. From the energy and excitement demonstrated by each group it was certainly one of Langley's more successful training camps. The Langley Minor Football Association, the only association in Langley sanctioned by Football B.C., is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting Langley youth in the development of athletic skills and sportsmanship through the game of football. Run entirely by trained volunteers the association annually equips and fields in excess of 300 players. For information on the 1993 season registration parents should contact the association office at #115 - 8850 Walnut Grove Drive, Langley or phone 888-0262. Bantam boys keep the "number one" title Trinity Spartans finish fourth in province up against 13 universities ALDERGROVE - Last week the two Aldergrove Bantam teams played each other in a re-match. Kyle Jones and Ryan Krulitski had a great pitching duel. The teams were tied 3-3 after seven innings of play. After a change of pitchers for both teams, Aldergrove #1 came out on top for the second time with a score of 4-3 after eight innings. Aldergrove #2 played three other games, one against Chilliwack and two against Mission. They won all three games. Aldergrove #1 played four other games, winning all four easily. They were also involved in a tournament in Port Coquitlam over the weekend. They were undefeated through all four games, beating Chilliwack, North Delta, Port Coquitlam and then Newton in the final to take the tournament. No game went over five innings as the mercy rule was invoked in all four games. This is the second tournament our Bantam teams have won. These boys are playing excellent baseball. Congratulations boys/ It's too bad the municipality wont give them a decent field in which to host home games and showcase their talents. If only Parks and Rec would put as much effort into their work as our boys put into their baseball.

The Aldergrove Elks Lodge donated $14,000 and the Aldergrove Parents' Swim Club donated $6,000 to this project. The Township has worked with the Elks Lodge in designing the waterpark. Through these donations and the budgeting of capital funds by Municipal Council in 1992 construction of this project started in June of 1992. The design and construction of this waterpark was undertaken by parks staff within the Parks and Recreation services division. The design of the waterpark is based on a nautical theme. The oval-shaped playground, dubbed the HMS Aldergrove because of its design after a ship, is 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. It has fixed and directional jets that are controlled from a bridge area, two water cannons with which to engage in water batdes and masts with a va riety of sprays. Benches located around the gunnel provide a place for parents to watch and stay dry. The waterpark is located on the site of the old wading pool site and adjacent to the adventure playground which was donated to the park in 1991 by the Aldergrove Elks Lodge. The waterpark will be open weekends only during June. Starting in July the waterpark will be open everyday. If it is raining or overcast the waterpark will be closed. The hours of operation will be from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Aldergrove Park is located at 272 street and~32 Ave. Rockies victorious at Bird tournament ALDERGROVE - Under the terrific coaching of Brian Strelic, Mike Windle and Dave Halliday, the Aldergrove Rockies Bronco baseball team emerged victorious from the Walter Bird Memorial Tournament at Port Coquitlam held on the weekend of June 5 and 6.

JUNE 10. 1993 Petition demands township put Aldergrove first ALDERGROVE - As the result of a highly intense general meeting of Aldergrove Minor Baseball last week, a petition is being circulated through the community demanding that the Township of Langley ensure that the necessary funds are allocated in the next budget for proper maintenance and upgrading of their existing ball- fields. The Pony/Colt diamond in the north-east corner of Parkside is of particular concern. Two years ago the teams had to play all their games out- of-town as the diamond did not meet the B.C.M.B.A standards. Last year the Township got the field in a playable condition with the promise that it would be ready for this year. Two weeks before the season was to start they came in with heavy equipment, dug up around the backstop, chewed up the outfield by third base and left it unfinished and in a dangerous condition. They have since patched up the field and as a temporary measure put up a retaining screen until work can be continued. If the field is not ready by next year the teams may be looking at travelling for all their games again, as visiting teams are continuously turned away, as even several days after a rainfall the field has not drained properly. After several years of fighting with the Parks and Recreation people to no avail, John McKeigan, president of the A.M.B.A, invited Bill Lindahl, from Parks and Recreation, and Mayor Beales to attend the meeting, talk to the parents and field questions. Mr. Beales did not attend and Mr. Lindahl probably wished he had brought his flack jacket by the end of the night. The attendance was the best ever at a general meeting, as residents of Aldergrove, tired of being last on the list of priorities for recreational funds, turned out to voice their indignation. Many of these parents had spent a weekend last month working on the ballfields, as it was the only way the job was going to get done. The township supplied what was supposed to have been screened topsoil. The volunteer workers ended up having to pick rocks, glass and [fWM, JUNE 11 - 12-113 FRIDAY, JUNE 11, ONLY $l MERCHANDISE VOUCHER TO THE F?RST 100 PURCHASING T° ^CUSTOMERS AT OUR ALDERGROVE STORE ONLY.

Mr. Lindahl apologized and said they are looking for a new supplier, but that it would take about three weeks. That does not help the ball players as the season ends at the end of June. In the meantime players have been injured and uniforms are getting torn. The slap in the face came with our tax notices as we learned that $3-9 million dollars has been set as a priority budget item for a new recreational facility in Walnut Grove. Funds are budgeted to upgrade existing fields in other areas in the community including Langley Meadows and Walnut Grove. But there is nothing left for Aldergrove. John McKeigan and Gary Bailey have been working on having the Township purchase land for a new baseball complex. Mr. Lindahl informed us that the council has given them the go ahead to look into obtaining a parcel of land behind the existing field at the Kinsmen Community Centre but that it won't be in the budget until 1995. After that we are probably looking at several years until completion. The number of teams in Aldergrove Minor Baseball has doubled in the past four years to over 500, and children are already being turned away due to lack of facilities. Can Aldergrove wait this long?

Come out to the ballpark this weekend during Aldergrove Days and cheer on the coaches as they participate in the slow-pitch tournament Former kick-box champ coming to Abbotsford MATSQUI - Steve Mackey, the high-octane 1990 kick-box world champion, will be at Matsqui Centennial Civic Centre June 11 and 12. Known as the "Blond Bomber," because of his height and his then shoulder-length blond hair, Mackey earned the world tide in 1990 in Tokyo. He has been a professional kick-boxer for 19 years. Although he was only 37 at the time, he came out of retirement, with a steel shoulder joint, to take on the world title. When he arrived in Tokyo, he discovered that the rules of the sport, as he'd known them, were non-existent and there were five- minute rounds. (Normally there are three-minute rounds). Half-way through the second round (about two minutes) he whipped through the air with amazing speed and knocked out his opponent, earning the world championship. Mackey thought he had killed his opponent. He was unconscious for an hour and a half. Because of this close call Mackey decided to retire six months after the fight. His background in kick-boxing has been extensive. Besides the '90 world championship tide, in '78 he was voted one of the top 10 kick-boxers in the world. In '84, he captured the U.S. World Karate Association light/heavy weight championship tide. Today, Mackey is a Christian. He teaches self-defence in his renowned karate school in Kansas. He will be making a presentation about his 1990 fight at the Matsqui Centennial Civic Centre at 7:30 p.m. on Friday June 11. Refreshments to follow. He will be speaking about Christian living on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. This event is sponsored by the Open Door Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Are you patient and interested in working to promote conflict resolution within your community? Do you have approximately 10 hours of volunteer time to donate every four to six weeks? If so, VORP needs you. The Victim Offender Reconciliation Program in Langley and Surrey is encouraging community residents who feel they may have an interest in working as volunteer mediators, to contact its office now. While training sessions do not begin until mid-September there is a screening and interview process that needs to be completed during the summer to select the individuals for the training. VORP uses volunteer mediators in its innovative alternative to the traditional criminal justice process. The trained VORP volunteers mediate between victims and offenders in crimes such as breaking and entering, theft, mischief, wilful damage and assault. VORP gives victims the opportunity to participate in the process of resolving the offence committed against them, to gain information about the crime and the motives of the offender, and where appropriate, to receive restitution or reparation. Through participation in VORP, offenders are made aware of the consequences of their actions and are enabled to take direct responsibility with their victims to correct the wrong. Training sessions will be held at the VORP offices in Langley for ten consecutive Tuesday evenings, beginning September 14, from 7 to 10 p.m. There are only a limited number of spaces available in the training program. If you are interested in working as a volunteer with this innovative program call 534-5515 or 534-6773 for more information. Interviews for selecting trainees will be held with interested individuals from now through August.

The announcement was made by Robert Wenman, MP, on behalf of Federal Environment Minister Jean Charest. The cooperage (barrel shop) will house the fort's barrel and carpentry shops, costume storage and laundry.

Local artist wins honorable mention at B.C. exhibit ALDERGROVE - At least two local artists were among the 1,500 artists exhibited at the Images and Objects XI show at Trail, May 26-30. An Aldergrove teenager managed to pick up one of the prizes, too. John Johnson, 17, won one of the ten honorable mentions (there were five awards of excellence) for his painted clay sculpture, Lost Identity. The exhibit is presented annually by the Assembly of B.C. Arts Councils at the B.C. Festival of the Arts, which this year chose the Trail site. Johnson, an International Baccalaureate student at Abbotsford Senior Secondary School, said, "Over the last year I've tried to create artwork around one central theme. Having only lived for 17 years and knowing that most people don't understand teenagers, I've used the theme of youth. Lost Identity is one of a series of works in which I try to make tangible to adults the problems of youth. Why is his face in front of him, just out of reach? Is his expression of any significance?" Johnson said the trip to Trail was a learning experience and good fun — and he also made his Bose, Beales on new team for GVRD BURNABY - Surrey Mayor Bob Bose has been named the Greater Vancouver Regional District representative to a political committee looking at the impacts of restructuring the Lower Mainland's regional districts. The study is expected to provide the framework for decisions as to whether Maple Ridge and/or Pitt Meadows leave the Dewdney-Alouette Regional District and join the GVRD. Both currently participate in some GVRD functions but are not full members. The study, being funded by the provincial government, will also look at the makeup of a possible new regional district to the east, of the GVRD should Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows move to the GVRD. Langley Township Mayor John Beales was named the GVRD's alternate representative to the committee. Both Bose and Beales are members of the GVRD board of directors.

Lost Identity was purchased by a Trail couple for $275 "There was a lot of nice stuff there," added Johnson who hopes to go on to the Emily Carr school of arts. Mary Winter is a well known and established artist and dog breeder here, and her lithographic monoprint, Granny's Tender Loving Care owes much to Winter's love for the Si. Bernard breed. "As a dog breeder I enjoy painting dogs and people with their pets. In this work I am influenced by Rembrandt's portrayal of human character and the impressionist's use of vivid color. Granny's Tender Loving Care is a portrayal of an old lady's devotion to her pups and their reciprocal love," said Winter. She said the Trail location was "really wonderful... everyone was very hospitable." The site was the "first field house built in B.C. by Cominco, and one of the keynote messages was community advocacy — how to enhance the beauty of the community." Winter, a retired nurse, said her next art project will be a centennial commemoration of St. Paul's Hospital next year.

BC Tel goes for rate increase VANCOUVER - On June 3, BC Tel filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for local rate increases ranging from $4.05 to $6. for residential customers, and $3-05 to $6. for business customers. On April 1, BC Tel announced its intention to file a general rate increase this summer. At the same time, the company filed an application for interim rate increases to mitigate anticipated financial shortfall in 1993- The application was subsequently denied based on the CRTC's- belief that full Cublic hearings were necessary efore a decision could be rendered. BC Tel says it continues to experience financial difficulties created by significant long distance rate reductions, market share losses to competitors, and corporate tax increases. Currently, about 60 cents of every dollar of BC Tel's long distance revenue subisdizes local service. Competitors contribute to local service at about half the rate Marzari to speak LANGLEY - Tourism and culture minister Darlene Marzari is the guest speaker at the June 15 dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at Newland's.

As competitors take more and more of the long distance market, overall contribution to local service is decreased. Without the increase, BC Tel's rate of return would drop to levels that would seriously threaten credit rating. BC Tel's last local rate increase, amounting to three percent overall, was in 1985. Public hearings on the general rate increase are expected to be held this October. If approved, the increase would be effective February 1, 1994.

Tenant gets boot from | neighbors LANGLEY - A man who was sunbathing in the nude in an apartment complex pool area last Saturday got evicted by his neighbors in a violent rampage that left his apartment in tatters. The unnamed man was also accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with children from the Riverside. Garden complex and was chased out of the area by club wielding neighbors. Police said they did not have sufficient evidence to charge the man with any of the alleged sexual crimes or theft, but came to take the man away. He returned later that day but neighbors broke down his door, caused him to flee again and trashed his apartment and personal goods. He's now in hiding. So far, no charges have been laid. Police warned against such vigilante action and the apartment owner is not pleased either, but the residents said they have no sympathy for the 25 year old man who caused the ruckus.

Community, co-op and computing BURNABY - He's earned a B.Sc. honors degree in computing science, with a minor in math and physics, but his convocation parchment doesn't completely compute Mike van der Velden's time at SFU. "You don't necessarily have to finish a degree within four years and much of what makes it all worthwhile takes place outside lectures and the library," the long-time Abbotsford resident insists. "I wouldn't trade serving on the board of governors, co-op Emergency communication system funded BURNABY - Member municipalities of the Greater Vancouver Regional District are currently taking delivery of 30 portable emergency radios and related equipment, thanks to assistance from the federal government's Joint Emergency preparedness Program (JEPP)- The program has contributed $22,000 to the purchase of the equipment (worth a total of $44,000), which will allow emergency response commanders throughout the region to communicate with each other on a dedicated channel in order to co-ordinate multi-agency responses. The new equipment will help in the organization of police, ambulances, hospitals and firefighters when responding to large- scale emergency situations, such as an earthquake or major plan crash. work terms in Japan and all over Canada, or involvement in SFU's community, for a higher grade point average." Van der Velden's circuitous route to convocation took him from his 1983 valedictory speech at Langley's D.W. Poppy secondary school to SFU on scholarship. Extracurricular activities cost him the scholarship when his grades slipped. After dropping out and taking a dead-end job in the produce department of an Abbotsford supermarket, he eventually rekindled academic interest by enrolling in courses at the University College of the Fraser Valley. "I returned to SFU with new determination, discipline and a desire to take a co-operative education degree in computing sciences," he recalls. "Combining academic study with semesters of relevant work took me to Ottawa, Edmonton and Japan, which all added significantly to my education, along with campus politics. In addition to the board of governors, van der Velden has served on SFU's student society, as president of the computing sciences society, which coordinates activities and resources for students in the department and hosts barbecues to raise money for the campus foodbank and day care. "The cynicism about contemporary politics is tragic and requires a renewed public commitment by ^everyone," he concludes. "As a student representative on the board of governors I was involved in issues ranging from tuition, to campus expansion and catering. I sincerely hope I earned the respect of those I worked with, along the way."

Richmond based Hellijet Airways caught the spirit by painting Klee Wyck, whose name means laughing one, on one of its aircraft to "lift" awareness of the games/ LANGLEY - The community of Langley has been chosen to participate in a Canada Games Torch Relay and will host an official "torch lighting ceremony". The Canada Games are committed to the youth of our country and actively endorse the Stay In School Program. They have expressed a desire to involve students in planning of activities around the Canada Games and Langley's community committee unanimously support this concept. They extend an invitation for students in School District #35 to participate in a "relay" to pass the Canada Games Torch from Douglas Park in the City of Langley to the Langley Municipal Airport. The airport grounds will be the site of the official ceremony, including lighting of a large ceremonial torch. There are approximately 250 miles between Langley and Kamloops (site of the 1993 Canada Games). They wish to ensure that the "torch" safely travels the distance between Langley and Kamloops by inviting 250 students to "relay" the torch one mile (between Douglas Park and Langley Airport). They require 32 students from each of our secondary schools to volunteer to participate in this event to be held Saturday, June 19, immediately following the Langley Days Parade. They also require eight volunteers to act as "Check-point Supervisors". Time required to complete the relay and participate in the official ceremony is approximately two hours, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Time is of the essence and your support and early response is appreciated.

A View from Hospital Hill Looking for patients' ideas If your physician were to recommend that you be admitted to hospital, what would you most likely worry about? Most people's first thought would be about diagnosis, treatment and prognosis - in other words, what am I suffering from, can it be treated and will I return quickly to full health? \ However, when these questions have been answered, you may next think aobut the actual experience of being in hospital. And that can lead to the idea of personal privacy - or rather, the thought that in hospital there may be quite a loss of privacy.

"This question of patient privacy is an issue our Nursing Professional Practice Committee is currently discussing", explains Mrs. Catherine Kidd, Assistant Vice President of Acute Patient Care Services at Langley Memorial. "We're looking for additional ways to make it easier for patients to feel their privacy is being protected." "While many of the suggestions about increasing privacy for our patients will come from physicians, nurses and other health care professionals at the hospital, we're sure that some of our former patients or their families have some thoughts on this subject," says Mrs. Kidd. "I'm hoping they might be willing to contact us and share some of their ideas." Mrs. Kidd points out that the suggestion to build a completely new hospital with nothing but private rooms is an option to be considered in future planning. However, she's sure that a number of practical and feasible ideas will be available for ther committee to consider and adopt as they look for ways to make each patient's hospital stay more comfortable. Anyone with practical suggestions about how to protect patient privacy, whether their ideas come from having been a patient at LMH or at other hospitals, is welcome to contact Mrs. Catherine Kidd at 534-4121, Local 224.

Another councilor says it would be a waste of time just trying to get some clear answers out of the lower mainland transit authority. Coun. Steve Ferguson wants district council to request a meeting with the transit board and demand, among other things, the 'delivery of a transit plan relating to a rural community (and the; implementation of a minibus sys tem in Langley. Ferguson, who says Langley taxpayers don't receive their money's worth from BC Transit, has also demanded that the authority provide Langley with figures showing just how much they are spending on bus service in this outlying municipality. It would be a waste of municipal staff time even to try, says Coun. Aubrey Searle. As far as minibus service is concerned, he says, it would be a total waste of money. Councilors have referred Ferguson's motion for discussion with staff at a later date. Searle votes against this. English course for new Canadians Ron Daley (Mr. B.C. in the B.C. Bodybuilding Championships): I think the old system when I went to school was way better. They used to have first, second and third place. It was a lot more fun because it was more intense, kids like that, they want to compete against each other, it's the real world. When you go out to find a job, it's the same thing, they pick the best person there. It's a competitive world, the nineties. I was just there the other day at a sports day and it was boring, just completely boring. There was nothing, the kids just played around, nothing was taken seriously, the organization was really poor. If your.kid is in there and you're watching it, you don't know^iWhere anybody stands, it's not taken seriously. Competition has to be there, it creates an atmosphere where they have to train for it beforehand.' With this now, they just walk in on the day that it's held and I think it will hamper sports. There's no training initiated by it because there's no prizes.

The society is in the process of fundraising and building their new centre in the city, and their success so far means that the centre will be up and running before the end of the year. Volunteers have begun showing the centre's progress with walking tours, and they have also launched a "Square Foot Bingo" that offers prizes of $1,000 cash and vacations, for the price of a $5 raffle ticket. Information is available from the current centre office, 530-3020. The Seniors Week celebrations at Langley Mall got into high gear Wednesday with displays, a period clothing fashion show, Senior of the Year awards and a strawberry tea. The displays on Thursday will be on line-dancing, tai chi, exercise and reflexology. There will be ongoing live entertainment, and the Scooter Rodeo takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the mall parking lot. Displays continue on Friday, and the Walk-a-thon from the mall to the new centre site and back runs from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. A celebrity barbecue and entertainment starts at 11 a.m., as CKWX presents country singers Rick Tippe and Ayssa Nielsen. CP Air employees and Langley Lions will also present a total of $50,000 towards the new centre at lunchtime. Saturday's activities include displays, a Merchant Bingo at centre court from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and entertainment from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. featuring Young Western Fiddlers, singer John McCallum and clowns.

Senior's condo life has its good points, too By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - For the last three months everyone who reads this column has put up with me telling of selling, having a garage sale, and finally packing up and moving. Now that we are. setded I just want to finalize it all by telling you life up three stories in a condo is quite enjoyable. Aldergrove looks so lush and green and in th^ far distance looms Mt. Baker, a beautiful sight. To those contemplating leaving their house and finding smaller quarters with no yard 'work it's not all bad. Almost all the seniors' activities have wound down for the summer but come September we'll all be looking forward to another year. With all the new housing we see springing up we're hoping there'll be a flock of new seniors joining our O.A.P. organization. The Art Club finished off with a pot luck luncheon and business meeting. The next three summer months instead of meeting at the hall, they are planning outings on Tuesdays. For further information call Vera at 856-3106. The Choral Group concert Monday May 31 was probably one of our best and the guest violinist and his accompanist were outstanding but the audience was small. This was very disappointing since the leader works so hard and our group is quite dedicated. Last year the hall was full so a feast was prepared this year but much to our chagrin we were left with a surplus. The general meeting Friday June 4 was well conducted with several items of business being hashed over. The main concern right now is the Strawberry Tea, Saturday, June 12 in the OAP hall during festival days. Lunch, sandwiches and strawberry shortcake will be served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Hope to see you there after the parade. It's a good way to meet friends and have a visit. The walk, Spacetrek 2000 on Wednesday had about seventeen participants. More men than usual took part. Though it was a showery morning it was an enjoyable two mile walk. We had hoped to have some wheelchair people from Jackman Manor join us but it was decided that the weather was unfit. Sharing our lunch at the hall after the walk made it more of a social time. Thanks Vera for organizing the whole event. Blood Donor's clinic is to be held at the Community Centre on June 24, 2:30 to 8 p.m. Come on out and donate your blood. I'm planning to take a few weeks off since many of the activities are closed down. Dances, however, are not one of them. There will be dances Wednesday and Saturday all summer. I'm hoping Opal will fill in. There were 52 at the Wednesday dance. Spot dance went to Charlie Milward and Lila Kurtz. 50-50 to Alice Stephenard and Ben Garbutt. There was a fair crowd at the Saturday dance. The door prize went to Bill Dennis and Ruth Jackson. Spot dances were won by Otto and Meriam Schaeffer and Alice Stephenard and Ben Garbutt. 50-50 went to Gwen Keay and Elsie Wilson. This week the Westernaires are playing for both dances.

JUNE 10. 1993 17 ^^^■^^^;^^^^^$$g^v^^^^^v^g^^^j^g^^^ By KURT LANGMANN Two of the "Gordons" in the provincial Liberal leadership race were in the constituency this past week. Gordon Gibson stopped at The Star's office Wednesday to provide a half hour personal interview, while Gordon Campbell made a trek to Newland's for a public function. Gordon Wilson is sure to follow shortly, and the other three candidates are welcome to follow suit. The others are MLA Wilf Hurd, Rev. Charles McKinney and MLA Al Warnke. Gordon Gibson is a former leader of the Liberal party, as was his father, Gordon Senior, or "The Bull of the Woods", who passed away in 1986. The younger Gibson retired from the leadership of the provincial party to try unsuccessfully for the federal party as a Vancouver MP in 1979, then served as executive assistant to former prime minister Pierre Trudeau for four years. He is married with two young children and living in Vancouver. He is travelling the province and last week he addressed the Matsqui Liberal constituency meeting on the issue of the party's universal ballot for the new leader. | Gordon Campbell is the current Vancouver mayor, with the backing of a predominantly Non Partisan Association party council. He is younger than Gibson and is also married with two children. Like current premier Mike Harcourt, he hopes to make the leap from civic to provincial politics. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Gary Farrell-Collins is a co-chair of Campbell's election team and along with Langley MLA Lynn Stephens, sponsored the Sunday meeting (notification of the meeting arrived too late for publication in last week's Star). GIBSON DETESTS 'ENEMIES' Gordon Gibson said the final push for him to re-enter provincial politics was "probably the NDP budget" tied with the fact that Gordon Wilson's personal problems had caused Wilson to open the race for the leadership. "When the Social Credit were defeated in '91 I really wished the new government well; I thought surely to God they learned their lesson last time around and would be a more moderate group. I was disabused of that month after month, but finally the budget came in and included elements that were so mean-spirited, class warfare directed, plus the size of the deficit -- I said these guys have got to go," said Gibson. "For a year and a half we've seen that the NDP knows who its friends are; public service unions getting Six percent increases and everybody else getting two percent or nothing, or losing their job. That's bad enough, but-ofiT this budget they showed they also know who their enemies are. That is very disturbing, I don't like it." Gibson said the school strikes have only hurt the NDP government more since that time, with many districts also forced to lay teachers off to pay for salary increases. "Why trade unions would want to lose workers rather than hold the line on wages does not make sense to me. Why would the membership want that? It's so unfair to the junior members." 'CURTAIL SPENDING' "We've got to get the deficit under control, that's absolutely crucial," said Gibson. "But beyond that what are we going to do about the fact that we're living less and less off our resources, more and more off our brains all I the time? That's the way it has to be in the worid. And what are we going to do about the the fact we're doubling (population) every 20, 25 years? These are the kinds of questions government has to face after we get the deficit under control because that is starting to threaten our social programs. Simple as that. "I talked with Doug Smythe, economist at the I.W.A., who told me that membership shrunk from 50,000 to 30,000, yet produce about the same amount of wood products. The smelter at Cominco, Trail in 1983 had a workforce of 4,800, today 2,260 and just announced another 100 layoffs. They're still pouring as much metal. "This is the kind of productivity the private sector has had to go through. The public sector has not been faced with that at all. That's the only way to get the deficit under control, put on the financial squeeze, get that better productivity out of the system. That's the first challenge." SEEN IT ALL BEFORE On the matter of a coalition of the Liberals with the Social Credit forces, Gibson said he has no fear of the next election bringing another New Democrat victory because of the split vote between the two opposition parties. "Remember 1975? I remember very clearly because I was leader of the Liberal party then and we're in the same situation today. About two years into Barrett's mandate, the people of this province had decided they wanted to get rid of this government. How to? The similarities are uncanny. The official opposition Social Credit party then had \6 members ~ totally disorganized. Mr. Bennett Senior had gone around the world on a cruise ship and some MLAs were even talking secretly to the Liberal party about joining us. "Bill Bennett was elected leader and this was a guy with no charisma at all, but he was competent and he was able to pull his caucus together and what happened then — and I as a member of the third party watched with growing horror ~ was Bennett was able to become chosen by the people of B.C. as their instrument to get rid of the Barrett government. The public opinion polls started moving to the official opposition, real , money started moving, more people moved, and professional politicians moved over. This great big snowball was building and it rolled right over me and what was left of my party. "We got 15 percent of the vote in '72, and seven percent in '75, in spite of running a good campaign, and candidates in every riding. The whole right wing of the Liberal party was stripped off by the Bennett snowball. "OK, this time the public is going to chose its snowball and if the Liberal party has any competence, and as official opposition it should get first shot, Liberals will roll right over the NDP, and attract support from the Social Credit party, right wing support from the NDP — I really see this repeating itself. If the Liberal party is not competent the Social Credit party will form the nucleus of that snowball. One way or the other, but I don't see that the Liberals and Social Credit will maintain about equal strength; that's not what the people want. Somehow a coalition will be formed by the people. 1 don't think the professional politicians will lead this." NO TRUCK WITH OTTAWA? While Gibson has campaigned and worked for the federal Liberals, he said there's no way the provincial party will reunite with the federal party if he is leader. "There is absolutely no danger of renewing federal Liberal ties whatsoever. I believe very strongly in the separation of the two parties," said Gibson. "In all of this province I was one of the foremost spokesmen against the Charlottetown Accord, which the federal Liberals were pushing with all they had. Two days after it was signed in Ottawa, Rafe Mair and Mel Smith and I had lunch and talked about what each would do and proceeded to do that. Wilson, as party leader, to his credit, and the B.C. Liberal party had a totally different view than the federal party, and in my opinion people have a right to expect that. Not in any way should we be under the influence, let alone the domination of the Ottawa party." While Gordon Campbell might have more appeal to the right wing of the province, Gibson said he appeals more to NDP voters "and there's a lot more loose NDP voters out there than ever before. "I also have more legislative experience than Campbell. The provincial and federal scene is a different league, it's bigger. I don't think Campbell's ever been in a fight before. I did spend nine years in Ottawa, four as executive assistant to the prime minister (Trudeau). We had a serious break on the constitution later... we're now polite to each other but that's about it. Yes, he does look pretty good these days (in comparison to Mulroney) and certainly I agreed with him on the Charlottetown Accord. He's been a remarkable Canadian, no question of that. "But I gained some understanding of how Ottawa works and B.C. has not done well in most of our history. When Harcourt^jjfgned (the accord) it was embarrassing; he did not understand what he'd done. If you look at the fiscal implications of the five percent cap on growth on support payments under the Canada Assistance Plan, for the richest provinces, B.C. Alberta and Ontario, it sounds fair until you consider we're growing three percent a year (population). We're just getting screwed by that. I don't agree with Glen Clark on many things but I agree on this one. We do not seem to have had the type of government in Victoria that understands Ottawa at all to remedy these kinds of things. Under W.A.C. (Bennett), and Bill Bennett inherited the thinking, he just wanted to ignore Ottawa. That's the way he worked. Youpiave to have the strength and understanding to Gordon Gibson get our fair share and that's the important thing I have to bring to the table," said Gibson. MAKE SOME DECISIONS "I think Gordon Campbell is a chairman -- a mayor of Vancouver tends to be a chairman (an indirect reference to Harcourt?), and I think I'm a leader. I think I make decisions. I consult too, but at the end of the day you've got to take decisions and not use consensus as an excuse for avoiding," said Gibson. "The first job of the new Liberal leader would be to mold the caucus into a better opposition force, but also bring in expertise and a lot of policy development, because while it is true you can win the next election on the basis that we're not the NDP and we've got to get rid of them, I don't think that's good enough. We should offer something positive, too, or we'll just repeat the same old pattern we've had so long, which is 'them or us'. I feel very strongly about offering some positive options." One of these issues, the one he feels strongest about, is educa tion, "the most important part of government" along with a "stable environment for the economy." This could mean computer based learning and work experience programs as "part of the cost control exercise of the future." "Regulations must be fair and consistent so that investors can be reasonably certain the rules won't change five years down the road. With the NDP we can never be sure of that." UNIVERSAL, BUT BY RIDING Gibson said that delegates to the Liberals' July convention should choose to deliver the promised universal ballot to party members on a riding by riding basis so that the balance of power is not unfairly weighted in Vancouver city's favor. "Campbell believes in counting by population rather than by riding. That gives Vancouver the opportunity to sweep the province by numbers that the other system doesn't." Next week: The Star interview with Gordon Campbell. Langley MLA Lynn Stephens and Fort Langley- Aldergrove MLA Gary Farrell-Collins have put their support behind Gordon Campbell as the next leader of the Liberal party of B.C. They attracted about 60 curious to Newland's Sunday afternoon to meet the Vancouver city mayor and GVRD chairman, including mayors John Beales, George Ferguson, Dave Kan- dal and councilor Christine Lamb. -Kurt Langmann photos mamam 18 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 10. 1993 ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, My husband and I live on a farm just outside Aldergrove and our lovely old house has big plate glass windows which let in lots of lovely sunlight. The only problem is that we both love birds and sometimes some of the small ones don't see the windows and crash into them. This has happened a lot of times and we always take the injured bird indoors and try to revive it by keeping it warm and sometimes feeding it with an eye- dropper. Usually they recover and we take them outside so they can fly again. Well, Annabelle, a few days ago a very curious thing happened. I was doing the dishes at the kitchen sink and looking out the window at the bird feeder. Suddenly, a cute little chickadee perched on the window sill. He stayed there for at least 15 minutes and I swear if I had opened the window he would have come right into the kitchen. Then, after watching me dry the dishes, he flew away. My hubby and I like to think maybe he was one of the injured birds we had helped who had come back to say thank you. What do you think? Could this be possible? Signed: Friends of Feathered Friends Dear Friends, It would not surprise me if this chickadee was one of your former patients. Some people say birds don't think (hence the expression, "bird-brain") but I maintain that all creatures think, sometimes a lot better than most humans. A tip during nesting season: when we brush our dogs we leave the brush on the top of the doghouse and the chickadees amuse us for hours cleaning the brush to make a warm nest for their chicks. Tell me that's not thinking! Dear Annabelle, Recendy my mother and father asked my girlfriend (I'll call her Terry) and I to look after their country house while they were away on two weeks holiday. That was fine with us as it's good to get out of the city and we All dangers can't be avoided, trustees agree thought the change would do us good. The problem started when my sister (I'll call her Jane) got the big idea into her tiny brain to install a toilet and sink in the basement. While I suppose this is a nice idea for the parents, it was hell on Terry and I because it was my brother-in-law and his brother who got the job. They were over here (always late) at all hours, never brought any food - but ate our food like pigs - and even brought thek ghastly mother with them one night, a night Terry and I planned to spend alone, romantically, if you know what I mean. And at the end of all this my sister had the nerve to blame me for holding up the job because I'd turned off a fan they had started going (and told me nothing about). I mean, I was leaving the house for the afternoon the next day and had no intention of leaving a small appliance running the whole time I way away. I lost my temper and told her she was a horrible, pushy, loudmouthed nag with the brains of a dwarf rabbit and that her husband (I'll call him Marc) was a weak-kneed feather-duster with all the spine of your average, garden-variety slug. Now my sister isn't speaking to me (not necessarily a bad thing) and my brother-in-law and his huge marshmallow of a brother expect me to chip in my share on the shoddy, unfinished job they did ruining my parents' basement. Signed: Ticked off. Dear Ticked off, Obviously your sojourn in the country didmothing for your bad temper and manners. A small sacrifice on your part must have meant a great deal to your parents but you spoiled it all by acting like a brat.

Trustee Diane Pona had argued that there was a danger in that students could be hurt in the ravine at back of the school. However, the president of the school's parents' advisory council spoke against the motion. Teresa Starr said that as a neighbor she and her children had used the ravine access to the school and "the decision to use it lies with the parents." She also said the ravine was an "extension of the park" and "would be used whether there was an opening there or not." A legal opinion also found that the board could not be held liable "for accidents occurring beyond its jurisdiction. The school board has no authority to permit or prohibit entry into the ravine," which is owned by the township of Langley. The lawyer also said that "plugging the fence would not prevent students from gaining access by either crawling over the fence or walking around it." There have been no problems over the 18 months that the school has been operating. Pona said that an RCMP officer told her it was "a poor location for a school... and the opening was dangerous as hell, those are his words." Trustees agreed that they can't close off all dangers to kids and the best answer was to educate them on dangers that should be avoided. The opening will remain in the fence for the convenience of those who wish to use it. Bringing parents together SURREY - Parents worried about their teens may be helped by the Parents Together program. Funded by the social services ministry and the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of Greater Vancouver, the groups meet regularly with professionals in the community. Described as a self-help and support system for parents experiencing conflict with their teens, it promises not to criticize or judge parents or give easy answers. They will, however, offer parents a new way to look at a situation, teach new skills to solve problems at your own rate, and offer support and encouragement to follow through on plans for change. The groups meet weekly and require regular attendance, while following a structured meeting plan under volunteers. As one teen put it, "One thing my parents learned is to let kids take responsibility for their own actions. In doing this I really feel like they have more trust in me and I feel a responsibility to not abuse it." One parent said, "Parents Together has meant an oasis in a desert. Some peace in the midst of a crisis. The stress has been relieved knowing that I'm among people who understand and will physically help if necessary." - After attending three sessions, parents may join for $12 a year. The office is at 10496 - 135 Street, call 588-1621. Staff will refer callers to a local group. *AU* *39 *51 ***** P198/T5W* W36/7W-S; *12 $120 R&MTIRE lew and Used Tires — Quality Cars, Trucks and Campers — Brakes, Shocks and Front-end Service 26827 Fraser Highway 856-5011 BLONDIE 'THE sRY.' ■ TUB !

JUNE 10. 1993 19 Belief in God not matched by trust in organized religion A new study of religious attitudes in the United States, Britain, Eastern and Western Europe, Israel and New Zealand has concluded that large majorities in most of the countries surveyed believe in God and in life after death. One would suppose that such results, released by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, came as welcome news - perhaps even relief - to religious leaders batding or courting a secularist society. Not so fast. The pioneering international survey, taken as a whole, is evidence of an underlying tension between private faith and organized religion. For the latter, there is at least as much challenge as comfort in the findings. To take the good news for reli- Women's Aglow talk about family and God's help By GAIL MacKINNON LANGLEY - Women's Aglow presented Donnie Patillo as their guest speaker for their May meeting at the Langley Conference Center. Donnie was an appropriate speaker after Mother's Day as she has a family of twelve children. Donnie shared how God had His hand on her life. If plans don't always go your way it is because God has a better plan and either wants to bless ydu or for you to be a blessing to others. We are to sit in the back seat and let the Lord do the driving. Adopted at a very early age, Donnie became the child of a disfunctional family, to a mother who had also been adopted. Even though her family did not go to church, Donnie would go on her own. During her childhood shST'Svould talk to God and He would help her through many tough situations. At eleven years old Donnie went to stay with her adopted grandparents who were now in their seventies. While staying with these God loving people she received the love and healing from her many emotional scars. As a college student she wasn't totally committed to the Lord and went her own way. The result was a marriage that ended in divorce. While attending the "Godspell" theatre presentation, she felt the presence of the Lord and turned her life over to Jesus. Her message to the ladies was that God is always faithful. He knows our going in and our going out. Where can we flee the presence of the Lord? He knows our every move. He loves us and has a plan for our life. (Psalms 139) Adrienne Joiner, a well known worship leader and speaker throughout Canada, will be sharing with us at our next meeting on Wed.

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH "The Gospel as it is for men as they are" 2946 - 272 St., Aldergrove COUNSELLING AVAILABLE 856-8117 COME TO CALVARY Bob Vance, Pastor gious leaders first, the existence of God was affirmed by more than 90 percent of the respondents in the United States, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, Christian and Jewish majorities holding to a belief in God ranged from 88 down to 85 percent respectively in Poland and Italy to 70 percent or more in Israel, England and New Zealand, more than 60 percent in Hungary, Slovenia and the former West Germany, and 59 percent in Norway. In the Netherlands, widely perceived as a secularist nation, there were equal numbers of the- ists and atheists. Of all the widespread communities covered in the 1991 research, only the former East Germany showed a minority - 26 percent - believing in God. And even there, according to the Rev. Andrew Greeley, the Roman Catholic priest and sociologist who was a coordinator of the study, "there are signs of a revival of religious beliefs." Then why should supporters of institutional religion be concerned? While majorities elsewhere, except the former East Germany and the Netherlands, said they retained a formal religious affiliation, the numbers who attended church or synagogue regularly were always smaller, and often considerably smaller, than the numbers who said they were believers. For example, Roman Catholics are obligated under church law to attend mass every Sunday except when excused for a serious reason. Yet, fewer than half of the Catholics surveyed went to church "regularly*"""' in the United States - where belief in God was shown to be the highest - or in Britain, New Zealand, Germany and Hungary. Even in Catholic Italy, a bare majority - 52 percent - were said to attend mass regularly, defined for the purposes of the study as "two or three times a month or more." Although generally the respondents to the survey expressed higher opinions of their religious institutions and leaders than of business and government, only two out of five Americans had "complete" or "a great deal of" confidence in religious leaders. In both Ireland and Northern Ireland, where church attendance was relatively high, the level of confidence in institutional religion was only between 41 and 46 percent. Religious leaders received the lowest confidence ratings in East Germany and the Netherlands, 20 percent in both; in Britain, where Immanuel Lutheran Church t3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove 856-4710 Rev.

According to the study, which is the work of a worldwide consortium of research centers known as the International Social Survey Program, nearly three- quarters of Israelis and almost half of the population of Italy and of the former West Germany believe that the clergy and their institutions have too much power. Poland, where Catholicism is so dominant, was alone among the former socialist countries in recording a majority - 6l percent - who think the church is too powerful. In once-socialist Hungary, by contrast, only 13 percent held that view. Hungary, in fact, has demonstrated a dramatic increase in religious activity over the last six or seven years. In 1986, a study recorded that only about 25 percent of Hungarians admitted to ever attending a church service. The 1991 data suggest that two- thirds go to church at least some of the time. Local politician doesn't trust Ottawa MURRAYVILLE - "Somebody is lying," says Coun. Aubrey Searle. "I don't know who. Is it the minister or the coalition? I just don't know." The somewhat cynical assessment followed in the wake of a long letter from federal fisheries minister John Crosbie to Langley district council. After salutations, Crosbie goes on to say that he'd "like to take the opportunity to respond to misleading communications which may. or may not have been sent to you by the BC Fisheries Survival Coalition and in so doing set the (government's) record straight." The letter goes on about the government's aboriginal fisheries strategies and cites the non-native fishermen's coalition with "doom and gloom prophesies for local economies." Fishing opportunities for commercial operators, contrary to the coalition's point of view, will not be affected, Crosbie says. Searle is not convinced.

JUNE 10. 1993 San Mateo waiting to be restored to glory Accusations, counter accusations fly FORT LANGLEY - An old American ferry moored east of MacMillan Island has become a bone of contention with some home owners living near the entrance to Glen \611ey. Owners of the 230-foot steam- powered vessel hope to restore her to her former glory, while the neighbors on the south side of River Road refer to the ship as "an eyesore and a rust bucket." The San Mateo will be perma- nently moored near the River and Armstrong roads for the next five years, the owners hope. Restoration is already under way. When the vessel is refurbished she will be moved to either Fort Langley or another lower mainland river location and used for commercial venture. Captain George Bereska says the San Mateo will be looking "in pristine condition" by September of this year as the exterior of the vessel will be finished first. The entire restoration job is expected to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $2-million. Neighbor Paul Claus says the ship "isn't worth restoring." He is worried about what he believes the permanent moorage will do to his property value, his view and his peace of mind. The old ferry has already been "vandalized something terrible" by intruders, he says. Bereska says he is now living on the ship and acting as a night watchman. No more vandalism will take place, he vows. Claus, meanwhile, has demanded from the local Langley government a reduction of up to 50 percent in his property taxes. He will sue for it if necessary, he says. "We" have no jurisdiction on the river," says township mayor John Beales, shrugging off Claus' demand for action in having the ship removed. Coun. Aubrey Searle tries to pour oil on the troubled waters. "A ferry has always been a part of the river scene, the riverscape," he says. People should understand ■'. this fact of life and learn to live with it, he adds. Claus tries another broadside. The San Mateo is an old American vessel, he reiterates, and has no place in Canadian waters or history. Bareska says he already has obtained the necessary permits for mooring and restoring the vessel from "seven or eight different (government) bodies." It looks like the ferry will remain at riverside. She is not that easy to move, anyway. There are two but Victoria doesn't know it MURRAYVILLE - "Very unfortunate," commented Coun. Steve Ferguson. He was referring to aTetter of reply from Victoria to councilors Aubrey Searle and Muriel Arnason and addressed to: 'Dear Mayor Lopushinsky and mem bers of council'. It continued 'Thank you for the letter of April 20, from your councilors, Mr. Aubrey Searle and Ms. Muriel Arnason.' A case of mistaken identity. Ferguson said that although he didn't agree with the Searle- Loan to armaments company investigated VANCOUVER - A federal government loan to a company that wants to build an ammunition factory in the province is under review after the Vancouver Sun linked the company with the Venezuelan military. Mary Collins, minister in charge of the Western Diversification Fund, has ordered the review of the recently approved $611,000 interest-free loan to Shotco Ammunition Corp. Proposed locations for the plant have included Aldergrove, Langley and Kamloops. One of the problems has been the matter of who the intended market for the ammunition is. Former premier Bill VanderZalm also has questioned whether the Canadian government should subsidize the Venezuela government and military on a project in Canada. Shotco is partly owned by Cavim, a \fenezuela military controlled company which produces and procures military and civilian goods in that country. The Venezuela military is also repre sented on the Shotco board of directors by Gen. Ismael Guzman and Maj. David Espinoza. The company has proposed the plant on the basis that it would supply sport hunters in Venezuela, but also said there would be nothing wrong if it also supplied the military and police forces here or elsewhere with ammunition. The majority shareholder of Shotco is Hubrisca Enterprises Ltd. Hubrisca, in turn is owned by company president Gustavo Rios, and Americans Gurpreet Singh of New York and Dante and Angela Carlos of California. Venezuela is undergoing some political turmoil currently, as president Carlos Andres Perez was impeached by the Supreme Court and Senate last month on corruption charges. He has been ordered tried on two counts of misusing $17-million of government funds. This has the popular support of the country but some have charged that the charges are specious, and motivated by political enemies who want to put a stop to his austerity program. Gas import-export deal set to begin in July at Huntingdon HUNTINGDON - The export and import of natural gas through the facility at the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing begins operation on July 1, after it receives regulatory approval from the federal regulatory agencies in the two countries. Sumas International Pipeline Inc. and Huntingdon International Pipeline Corp. are the two subsidiaries of BC Gas which service the system, known as SHIPS or SIPI-HIPCO International Pipeline System. BC Gas will be allocated 260,000 MMBtu/day firm import capacity to the U.S. while export to Canada on SIPI is to be shared 100,000 MMBtu/day with CanWest Gas Supply U.S.A. Inc. and 160,000 MMBtu/day to BC fidS.,rfffrr»rf« BC Gas president Bob Kadlec said, "With the initiation of service on the system in July, BC Gas will have another outlet for marketing natural gas not required by our customers during the summer months. It will also replace some firm export capaci- ty on the Westcoast Energy pipeline system due to' expire on November 1 of this year." As well as the firm service, 27 other shippers received contracts for interruptible service. Project manager Ted Eddy said, "These (regulatory) filings culminate a three year effort to obtain international regulatory approval for the SHIPS project. It will provide a secure link to U.S. gas supplies and allow access to existing and potential storage facilities in the United States." . i , Arnason letter to the provincial cabinet in the first place, it was unfortunate that agriculture minister Bill Barlee's department obviously didn't know the difference between Langley city and township. Coun. John Scholtens suggested that this would be a good opportunity to write Victoria and once more urge amalgamation of the two Langleys. "Then there won't be any mistakes," he said. Langley township officials have been pressing for reunification of the two Langleys for several years. Mayor Joe Lopushinsky's council in the city won't hear of it. MURRAYVILLE - Each side accuses the other of "dragging feet" and putting up obstacles that make the race almost impossible. A Fort Langley businessman who owns a floathome marina near Fort Langley was back in front of an unsympathetic council Monday night. Monty Grant said the township has made it impossible for him to finish the facility to the specifications laid out by the local politicians and bureaucrats. "You have provided barriers that are impossible to overcome," Grant told the local politicians. He said they have demanded upgrading of the marina while at the same time prevented him from obtaining a permanent license from the Fraser River Harbors Commission and thereby made it impossible for him to obtain bank financing for the project. "You have taken a long time to get your act together; we have done our best," he told Mayor John Beales. Council's "cleverly worded" development agreement had scared away all financial institutions, he said. Beales, on his part, accused Grant of being "inclined to drag your feet" and added that councilors had given the developer "lots of leeway. "I am frustrated and thoroughly disappointed," the mayor added. Grant was finally asked by a council member how much more time he would need to complete the works which include the installation of a sanitary sewer system ashore. Grant said he hoped to get the lease from the harbor authority within three months and he would then have to start selling moorage to individual floathome owners and once more approach the banks. He said he had been told at one time by the Fraser River harbor master that the Grant's Landing marina west of Fort Langley "...is close to the end of my jurisdiction, and I don't care what you do down there." Grant added, "I might not be smart, but I do get some idea of when I am being taken." It is the fault of local council that he still hasn't obtained the final lease from the harbor authority, he said. Complainants bother politicos MURRAYVILLE - Many people with complaints should not both- ej to bring them to municipal council here, a local alderman said Monday night. "We cannot provide a platform for all causes; and some people are abusing (the right to a hearing)," Coun. John Scholtens said. "They come here every week, and we are sitting up here trapped." Scholtens said there were other avenues of having your grievances heard, such as writing letters to the editors or taking out advertisements in local newspapers. Even writing letters to municipal council. "At least they don't grandstand," Scholtens said of the local citizens who choose one of these alternate options. People who constandy bring their complaints before council only have one goal in mind, he added. To run for political office themselves in an election year.

JUNE 10. 1893 21 Killer receives life' sentence NEW WESTMINSTER - David Walter Schlender received a life sentence last week for the killing of former Langley resident Sian Simmonds. B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Rowan said the circumstances of the Jan. 27 second degree murder were so "shocking" that 39 year old Schlender will not be eligible for parole for 20 years. Sian's sister, Katie couldn't contain herself: "You're going to burn in hell, Schlender," she yelled in court, June 2. The late woman's family has been devastated by the savage killing of the 19 year old in her own home. Schlender also received a concurrent 15 year term for the attempted murder of his cocaine supplier, Manjit Nareg. Schlender was out on bail for that charge when he committed the Simmonds murder. Schlender pleaded guilty to the charges. Two more men appeared in court last week charged with first degree murder in the killing. The Crown has alleged that Dr. Joseph Charalambous contracted the killing of Simmonds through a middle man named Brian Gerald West, to prevent Simmonds from testifying against him at a doctor's college disciplinary hearing. West, in turn, is alleged to have offered to forgive Schlender's $2,100 drug debt and give him some $1,400 in cash if he were to threaten Simmonds into not testifying against Charalambous. High on cocaine, Schlender used a pretext to knock on Simmonds' door, then shot her twice with a silencer equipped pistol, and smashed her skull with the butt of the gun. Six months earlier he had shot and nearly killed Nareg, and while he was on bail he had been ordered to burn down Sian and Katie Simmonds' home. He refused but changed his mind when the second offer was made. Chris Polinder and his father, Scott, set the depth on their plow before furrowing their portion of the field, at the Lynd Saturday. Lamont pleads for intervention after Brazil appeal denied LANGLEY - The mother of a Langley woman serving a 28- year-sentence in a Brazilian jail has renewed her call for Ottawa to intervene after learning her daughter has been denied the right to appeal. "It is a very bleak oudook right now," Marilyn Lamont said this week. Her daughter, Christine Lamont, 34, and David Spencer, 29, of Moncton, N.B., are in prJsojTgii&Sao Paolo for their par- ;4<Slp:Ston in the kidnapping of a Brazilian businessman for ransom. The families of the pair learned last week that a judge of Brazil's supreme court has ruled they can't appeal. Calling for External affairs minister Barbara McDougall to request the expulsion of the pair from Brazil, Marilyn Lamont said: "It's simply not just." Lamont and Spencer have served 3 1/2 years of their sentence. "A sentence in Canada for a comparable crime would probably be three years and they would have got parole in a year," Marilyn Lamont said. "They are not eligible for parole in Brazil because they are foreigners." McDougall has repeatedly turned down requests from the families to ask the Brazilian government to send the pair back to Canada. The minister has said the appeal process should be allowed to run its course. But the Lamont and Spencer families feel they have now hit the end of the road. "There are some technical appeals left, but they are not expected to be meaningful," Marilyn Lamont said. en Spring Fair and Plowing Match, -Tim Attwood photo Building better connections ABBOTSFORD - The June 30 Chamber of Commerce luncheon brings Vancouver International Airport Authority to the Rancho.

"Everyone seems to recognize fully that there should be the right to withdraw from treatment in the law," however, "court cases demonstrate that (this law)...needs clarification" argues Wenman. "The courts have called upon parliament to clarify the law - this," stressed Wenman, "is a-decision for the Parliament of Canada, not a decision for the medical profession or the courts." Wenman said that all our lives we learn how to make our own decisions. As we grow older we are given more and more opportunities to decide for ourselves about the fate of our own lives. "Am I not responsible or intelligent enough to make that choice (for self-determination)? I think I am," stated Wenman, "and I resent that any government or other parliamentarian would deny me that right of choice!" Wenman pointed out that "God gave us medical science and technology to improve the quality of our life, to certainly nurture, protect and prolong life, to the point of suffering" but he says "when we are talking about your 'end-time' and my 'end- time', as mature, responsible adults in the face of medical technology, I want to be protected by, for and against that technology - technology that wants to overly prolong my suffering and which will not allow me to make that decision (self-determination) in an appropriate manner through the law." Wenman who had introduced a Private Members Bill, Bill C-203, to the House in 1991 that dealt with this issue, pointed out that the fear of death and the fear of talking about death has resulted in very litde legislative movement in this area. "But," he pointed out, "(changes) will be made...because the people of Canada demand that we make (them)." Jenfse Ball is Aldergrove's 1993 Youth Ambassador. Generosity helps pageant By BEV MTJLLDOON ALDERGROVE - Many thanks go out to the Aldergrove Festival Days Society and the many clubs and businesses in Aldergrove for their generosity in supporting the 1993 Aldergrove Youth Ambassador Pageant.

Fires of discontent fanned LANGLEY - The fire is stacked over six feet high and 100 feet in diameter, with two heavy track machines continually feeding the smouldering inferno. This is the description supplied by Robert Melynchuk, who asks, "What about the 150 senior citizens who live 300 feet from the column of smoke? For 14 days they lived in quiet desperation, phone calls to the mayor and the fire chief futile." The brush fire at 30 Avenue and 200 Street was finally put out last week by the fire department. The fire chief had already taken the burning permit away on the 15th day of the fire but the land clearing crew had relit the fire several times, said Melynchuk. Open fires are banned altogether in the municipality after June 15, but fines are small — $25- The mobile home park across the street from the land owned by W estland Development Corporation is predominandy occupied by senior citizens who have complained bitterly about the foul air. A couple celebrating their 53rd anniversary came home to soot-filled clothes hanging on the washline. War veterans struggle for breath, coming home from hospital to a new war zone. "Machines working until 10 p.m. and later, more smoke in the curtains, the walls, the carpets, the clothes and on their trailers," said Melynchuk. "Seniors in fear that if they complain they will be considered troublemakers; living a life of second class citizens and only wanting some peace and quiet in their last years." Action one of contempt H MURRAYVILLE - Land clearing carried out by the owners of a large tract of land in southwest Langley was done "in contempt of council, putting it mildly," according to township Coun. Aubrey Searle. Owners of the proposed Chartwell site intend to build a golf course and housing development in the former gravel pit near the U.S. and Surrey borders. They will be allowed to burn the wooden debris resulting from logging on site but will also be told that "any future site clearing and associated grading, burning, drainage work or any other reclamation work on the property will be subject to a comprehensive plan" to be delivered to the township for approval. They will also have to obtain permits from Environment Canada and the provincial environment ministry. fi ■THE ALQERGRQVE-STAB^JUNE 10.4^03 23 856-8303 or 856-5212 Fax line iKBMMi §KHt0: DIRECTORY 1.

Muriel. Arriason. A recommendation had reached council that the provincial government should be asked either to buy new 'voting machines' for British Columbia municipalities or else conduct the elections for the municipalities throughout the province using their own machines. "They are very expensive," admitted staffer Kurt Alberts. "At 10,000 bucks apiece they are a ripoff," said Coun. Aubrey Searle. "Don't ask the province to invest in them, for a very poor return." Searle added that computer hardware and software that could do the same thing could be had for considerably less money. Councilors decided not to endorse the recommendation. A report from the municipal clerk's office had pointed out that the township of Langley would need 20 of the expensive computers for a total cost of $187,629.00. Machines are now being used to tally up election results in Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Surrey and Langley city. These jurisdictions have all bought their own machines.
