                <text>Article published in the Aldergrove Star newspaper on December 19, 1973 entitled "Sports group charges power politics." The article is about a meeting held at the Langley municipal arena attended by about 70 parents of young girls, who met to seek clarification from recreational officials. &#13;
&#13;
Some of the questions included: "why hasn't a time schedule been printed?" "is the arena paying for itself?" and "why did the girls figure skating club in Langley get 24 hours of prime time and the girls ringette group can only get one and a quarter hour of evening ice time a week?"&#13;
&#13;
The article reports that no one had these answers ready because no officials from the arena, the City Council, or the arena committee was there except for "70 more or less uptight parents and brave Merv Hunter (Langley City Alderman)." &#13;
&#13;
Eileen Carpenter told the Aldergrove Star that "the Langley ringette group (girl's ice hockey) had originally been promised five hours of ice time a week in the public rink in south Langley. However her group ended up with one evening a week, Tuesday night from 8 to 9:15pm, while the figure skaters were for some mysterious reason allocated a total of 24 hours a week, morning and afternoon hours."&#13;
&#13;
There are about 100 girls participating in figure skating paying $48 each for use of the public facility, according to Eileen Carpenter. &#13;
&#13;
As a contrast to this, Eileen pointed out that 363 girls had registered for ringette and 280 of those had paid registration fees. 1/3 of the girls were from Langley and 2/3 were from Aldergrove and Fort Langley. &#13;
&#13;
"If it wasn't because of the Aldergrove private rink and the fact that they honored their early commitment, there wouldn't be any ringette in Langley." said Eileen. &#13;
&#13;
Parents living in Langley are still upset that their girls will have to be taken to Aldergrove for every single practice and game. They've tried to get at least two hours weekly at the Brookswood rink (Langley Civic Arena) but this was not happening. &#13;
&#13;
The article ends with Eileen's words: "All we want is an answer to our questions - and two hours of weekly time." &#13;
&#13;
CHARGES UNFOUNDED&#13;
&#13;
Following the original article, is another article where the Langley arena manager Gerry Thompson says  that the charges by the parent group are unfounded. &#13;
&#13;
Thompson told the newspaper that the ringette group did not make reservations on time. "The group was still organizing at the time when we sold our ice." As a result, all of the good ice time was sold to minor hockey, girls' figure skating and the Langley Lords. None of those organizations were interested in selling their ice to the "girls ice hockey teams."&#13;
&#13;
Thompson told the paper that he will try once more to negotiate an agreement between the arena committee, the figure skaters, and the "ringette people". &#13;

                <text>Newspaper clipping from the Aldergrove Star newspaper entitled "Ringette registration December 1st" published on November 21, 1973. &#13;
&#13;
The article is about a parents meeting for ringette that was held on November 11. At the meeting the mothers of the players voted to have the Canadian Standard Association helmet purchased by the executive to sell to the girls. &#13;
&#13;
Parents are responsible for buying a mouthguard and to see that the girls have elbow pads. &#13;
&#13;
The article states that until the rule about Canadian Standard helmets is in effect, the girls can wear helmets belonging to their brothers. &#13;
&#13;
Registration for the new season of ringette is Saturday, December 1 from 10 until 12 noon at the following places: Lorne's Lumber (Aldergrove), Fort Langley Community Hall (Fort Langley), and the Langley Civic Arena (Langley). &#13;
&#13;
Parents must bring their registration fee ($10 for first girl and $5 for second girl) which covers the insurance. Girls are not allowed on the ice without insurance. The $10 also includes a sweater and a hockey stick. &#13;
&#13;
Figure skates and other skates are permissible. The article reads: "If you have to buy a new pair boy's hockey skates are recommended."&#13;
&#13;
The executive consists of the following people: Trudy Cuthbert (Chairman), Bob Bailey (Vice-Chairman), Eileen Carpenter (Corresponding Secretary), Linda Taylor (Recording Secretary), Roberta Bailey (Treasurer), Fred Boyd (Head Coach from the Trinity Western College), and Pat Rawluk (Players Representative from Fort Langley). &#13;
&#13;
The Advisory Committee consists of R.F. Puffer (Aldergrove), Mrs. (Chris) Bisset (Fort Langley), Roy English (Langley) and Don Neumann (Langley). &#13;
&#13;
The article concludes by saying that the executive is going to approach various service clubs to see if they will sponsor a team. </text>

                <text>Newspaper clipping from the Aldergrove Star newspaper entitled "Just what is Ringette?" that was published on October 17, 1973. &#13;
&#13;
The article speaks to a survey sent out by the (Langley) Recreation Commission to parents and students at Langley schools. The article states that the survey did not include enough information about the game of ringette and that the Commission has been flooded with phone calls regarding the nature of the ice sport. &#13;
&#13;
As a result, the Commission is visiting all of the Langley schools where they are talking to all of the girls about ringette, while passing out registration forms. &#13;
&#13;
The Commission is asking the parents to co-operate by returning the forms to the schools as quickly as possible. They are also planning another public meeting involving the parents so that they can provide additional information and receive community input into the project. &#13;
&#13;
The fee for the season is $10 which covers insurance and registration. The article states that no girl will be turned away, however. &#13;
&#13;
The Commission is preparing have the coaches trained immediately and they have started looking into insurance. &#13;
&#13;
The activity is for all school aged girls and requires the following equipment: tube skates, a helmet, a mouth guard, a pair of gloves, and warm clothing. &#13;
&#13;
The article directs people to contact Eileen Carpenter and Trudy Cuthbert by phone for further information. </text>

                <text>Newspaper clipping from the Aldergrove Star newspaper dated October 10, 1973 entitled "New winter sport for female girls." &#13;
&#13;
The article speaks of how the Langley Recreation Commission is attempting to introduce a new winter sport in the area. The article explains that the sport was invented in Ontario in 1969 and is "played by girls between the ages of 9 and 17 and is an adaption from minor hockey but is played with red, white, and blue sticks and a soft rubber ring instead of ordinary hockey sticks and a hard puck."&#13;
&#13;
The article explains that the teams in ringette are Petites (9 and 10 year olds), Tweenies (11 to 13), Belles (14-16_ and Ladies, 17 and older. &#13;
&#13;
A survey was sent hom with students to gauge interest in the sport. Trudy Cuthbert expressed that if enough interest was forthcoming then the game will be played at the new ice arena in Aldergrive and will be a first in Western Canada. &#13;
&#13;
Coaches clinics will. be held and team members will be bussed to the Aldergrove Arena. Equipment needed is nominal - just a pair of skates, helmet and a mouthguard. &#13;
&#13;
The article states that ringette is less dangerous than "normal girl's ice hockey". &#13;
&#13;
Eileen Carpenter and Trudy Cuthbert are the women to call for more information. </text>
