By Lauren CollinsLast Tuesday, Townline had an-

other update on their project Th e Bristol, but the reaction from busi-ness owners was less than stellar.

People at the Cloverdale Busi-ness Improvement Association’s Annual General Meeeting on Feb. 23, voiced their concerns over parking for the new development, the overall look of the building and the rental units in the building.

Problems with parkingWith roughly 90 units in Th e

Bristol (5738 175 Street), Townline is estimating space for about 140 stalls, said project manager Ross Moore.

He said about 31 parking stalls will be in an internal drive isle on the property, within the courtyard will be space for about 20 stalls for retail and residential and there will be a one-level parkade for residents with an additional 86 stalls.

Th at’s about 140 parking stalls, give or take, he said.

Moore added, “In terms of park-ing, we’re really confi dent that we’re going to provide that ade-quate amount.”

But for business owners, like Erin Madsen she doesn’t think there will be enough space for shoppers, merchants and residents.

“You want to put this retail space in and rent it out . . . how is it pos-sible that this idea can be put for-ward when you know already you don’t have the ability to provide. It

doesn’t make any sense,” said Mad-sen, who owns Carpe Diem Fine Florals.

While she understands the need to bring in more people to Clover-dale, Madsen said the fi rst thing people look for is a safe place to park their cars.

“Nobody will come.”Kathi Nicholson echoed her

concerns as well.“I think having a lot of peo-

ple in Cloverdale is a great idea,”

said Nicholson, who is co-owner of Retro Mod. “We’re concerned about where these people are going to put their cars and the customers who come from out of the area are going to be able to put their cars.”

He added that so far, the city has

not completed their plans for addi-tional parking.

Design not refl ective of Cloverdale

As for the design element, Nich-olson is worried Th e Bristol won’t refl ect Cloverdale’s heritage as-pects.

At the Feb. 23 meeting, Moore said the intent behind the building

was to “tie-in with the heritage as-pect of Cloverdale,” as well as with future developments, such as the property to the north being devel-oped by Mosaic.

He said the designers will be us-ing reds, yellows and whites on the facade.

she said she couldn’t see any architectural details that made it look like it belonged in Cloverdale. “It looked quite institutional. It looked like boxes.”

“Th e city over the years, has put a great deal of money and eff ort in promoting the cultural aspects of Cloverdale,” she said. “Th en in the same breath, they are approving a building that looks like just about four boxes smashed together and painted dif-ferent colours with absolutely no interesting archi-tectural elements.”

City councillor Dave Woods, who was at the meeting, said there’s issues everywhere.

“So if the next developer comes along - which will be Mosaic - when it comes along it will go through a city process, which hopefully the BIA will follow.”

Woods added that proposed developments go through engineering and planning with the city. Th en the proposals will have public input and go through a fi rst and second hearing at council and ultimately onto a public hearing.

“At public hearing . . . the public is welcome to come and address council to say, ‘Look, I don’t like this building. I don’t like the the parking. I don’t like this, I don’t like that.”

Th ose concerns, Woods added, might not be enough to sway council.

Public hearing for Th e Bristol took place on Feb. 23, 2015 and it received approval.

As for the public hearing, Moore said the city would have mailed out notices to all residents with-in a 300-ft . radius of the site. Notices for the hearing would have been in the paper two weeks prior to.

He said before the public hearing, the develop-ment application was also reviewed at the Advisory Design Panel, a committee comprised of industry professionals from a variety of fi elds. Any feed-back was implemented into Townline’s fi nal design which was approved at city council.

Concerns over rental unitsSince all of the units are strictly rentals some of

the business owners were worried about who will be owning the rentals and who could potentially be moving into the area.

Orazietti said the target is to bring in young-er families with combined incomes around the $90,000 range.

“Th e whole game plan now is to work hard at bringing people here because our future is based on getting as many people as possible.”

He added that while the rentals are targeted for lower income families, it won’t be subsidized.

Orazietti also noted that in regards to parking that this group they are targeting isn’t necessarily a two- or three-car group.

Woods added some of the community’s issues are trying to get people into Cloverdale and trying to get the town centre going.

“Th e town centre is going really good right now, but it will probably go even better if you get more people living here.”

Update of buildingAs for the rest of the construction, Moore said

Townline is up-to-date.Approval on the development proposal was ap-

proved on Feb. 22, and now all they’re waiting on is their building permit which was submitted in Oc-tober.

“Th ere’s always a hiccup or two along the way, but we’re getting to the point where we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone in the offi ceis starting to get excited.”

Townline is anticipating excavation for April 1 and then a 15 to 16 month build-out with should be fi nished by summer 2017.

Moore said contruction will move quickly from there.

“Hopefully it’s something you’re proud of to use, to work in, to live in,” Moore said.

Th e Bristol will be a four-storey mixed-use build-ing. Th e ground-level will be retail and the top three fl oors will be rental units.

The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association held its Annual General Meeting Feb. 23 at the Surrey MuseumBy Lauren CollinsTh ere are a few new people on the Cloverdale Business Im-

provement Association’s board of directors as of last Tuesday night.

Th e Cloverdale BIA had their annual general meeting. Th e previous AGM was held April 6, 2015.

Th e Reporter previously reported that there would be no fl oor nominations because all of the applications needed to be vetted by the City of Surrey and the Cloverdale BIA prior to the Feb. 23 meeting.

However, fl oor nominations were allowed resulting in an additional three nominations to the 10 nominations previ-ously vetted by the BIA and the city.

Th e BIA can operate with up to 15 directors without hav-ing to do an election.

Th e returning board of directors are: Steve Bednash (Clo-ver Ventures), Yvonne Hogenes (Malary’s Fashion Network), Frank Redekop (Cloverdale Legion), Freda Mattern (Ye Olde Piggy Bank), Dean Moore (Michaud’s Salon), Solomon Akoroje (CIBC), Jim Mason (JG Mason Holdings), Rob Pa-terson (New Mac Animal Feed), Kent Archibald (Firearm Training Centre) and Tricia Ellingsen (Tricia’s Gems), who was nominated from the fl oor.

New directors are: Alex Charles (Unifor Local 780G), Erin Madsen (Carpe Diem Fine Florals) and Michelle Moore (Rustic Rooster Bakery & Cafe). Madsen and Moore were nominated from the fl oor.

Th e meeting also discussed the 2016 budget and compared it to the 2015 budget.

Executive director, Paul Orazietti said the BIA has estimat-ed conservatively for the approved 2016 budget. Th e BIA is also trying to be more transparent with their budgets.

In previous years, the association has gone over budget.“Th e city has said they want us to be on-budget, to live

within our means and ensure that we budget and stick to it,” Orazietti said.

Th e Cloverdale BIA is funded through a self-imposed tax levy on property owners and businesses in the historic town centre. Th at tax levy makes up the $175,000 operating grant from the city.

Th e levy, which increased by $5,000 from last year, is ac-companied by an estimated $32,000 in income generated by sponsorships and grants.

Orazietti said the BIA wants to work with all the events to draw people into the community.

“If we all work together and we acknowledge what each of us are doing, slowly, but surely more sponsorship dollars will come into play.”

In the BIA’s budget is a community gateway sign at the cor-ner of Highway 10 and Highway 15. Th e province gave the association $10,000 toward the sign in 2015, which is now being deferred to the 2016 budget.

During the meeting, Orazietti also discussed the BIA’s fi ve-year goals which includes attracting more unique, eclectic retail services and light industrial businesses, encouraging almost all types of residential development in Cloverdale town centre, better transit service, boosting security and crime prevention measures, continuing to a green town cen-

tre and fi nish the community gateway signs.

The 2016 budget breakdown:-Th e budget allocates $37,000 for beautifi cation, which

includes hanging baskets along 176 Street, the downtown clean-up team, plants and gardening services for 176 and 176A streets, Highway 10 and 180 Street landscaping fea-tures, and the gateway welcoming signage and landscaping at Highway 10 and 180 Street.

-$6,000 is going towards the communications committee which includes updating the website to bring in new features such as testimonials and videos showcasing the community and people

-Th e Economic Development Committee has increased its budget to $5,000 from $3,500 last year.

-Th e budget for promotions and special events is down to $40,516. Th e Cloverdale Blueberry Festival and the Hallow-een Costume Parade are still cancelled, but $7,000 is going toward Rodeo Days events (Brickyard Days, Bed Races, Chili Cook off and Rodeo Parade) and $22,000 is earmarked for the Santa Parade.

-Th e Safety, Security and Crime Prevention Committee is being given $7,500 for graffi ti removal and clean-up program and mobile HD cameras to promote more information shar-ing and enhance security for businesses.

-And $113,000 will be set aside for administration and of-fi ce expenses.

New board members, changes to budget

Dogs responding wellSeized dogs from Langley puppy mill under quarantine for ring wormBy Monique TammingaTh e 66 sick and neglected puppies and adult dogs

seized from a Langley puppy mill are responding well to treatment and some are ready for adoption, says the BC SPCA.

“Our major challenge right now is that all the dogs are under quarantine because of ring worm,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement offi cer for the BC SPCA.

“Some of the dogs require further emotional support and will be with us longer.”

Th e dogs were seized from a Langley breeder in early February.

An SPCA statement said the dogs had serious “med-ical and psychological issues,” including broken bones, missing ears and eyes, infections and abscesses, dental disease, severe matting and overgrown nails.

Th e starving dogs were living in small, stacked crates and cages, in dark, unheated buildings.

“It is inconceivable to think that anyone allowed these innocent animals to suff er like this,” said Moriarty.

Th e breeders had been on the SPCA radar for a num-

ber of years, with several people laying formal complaints against them.

“Th ese guys were so professional at evading us and popping up again. It took a detailed complaint straight from a current buyer for us to get a warrant,” said Mori-arty.

Th e SPCA is still waiting for all the reports from the veterinarian who has been looking aft er the seized dogs. Th ose medical reports will be sent to Crown counsel with the hope criminal charges will proceed.

Meanwhile, 70 cats and several dogs were seized from a Surrey breeder a few weeks ago.

Th e B.C. government has announced new regulations are coming to require dog and cat breeders to meet na-tional standards for their care.

Expected to take eff ect in 2017, the rules will require daily cleaning of pens, minimum space for each animal depending on its size, and veterinary care for dogs and cats that are sick, injured or in pain.

A registration system would allow animal inspectors to inspect premises, rather than wait for public complaints.

– with fi les from Tom Fletcher, Black Press

Movie taxs breaks under scrutinyB.C.’s tax credits to the movie industry are rising rapidly as the

low Canadian dollar attracts more productions to the province, and Finance Minister Mike de Jong has ordered a review.

“Th e sector is having a record-breaking year and that’s all good news for the people involved,” de Jong said. “But the way the tax credit is structured, we see the amount being paid out increasing exponentially. It’s set to cross the half billion-dollar mark.”

Th e review is to take place within the next two months, including consultation with B.C. production companies. B.C. off ers a refundable tax credit for one third of labour costs for movies, TV and digital me-dia production.

Th e current box-offi ce hit Dead-pool - which fi lmed in Surrey - is the latest of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series to be fi lmed in B.C. An earlier movie in the series was lured to Montreal by generous tax incen-tives, and Ontario extended its tax credits to cover 25 per cent of all spending on a project.

Most of B.C.’s industry is foreign productions, taking advantage of experienced crews, scenic locations and easy access from Hol-lywood. De Jong said in 2013 that Canadian provinces are “being played” by producers looking to increase tax breaks by threatening to go elsewhere.

By Tom FletcherTh e B.C. Liberal gov-

ernment made a big show of selectively easing Med-ical Services Plan fees in its budget for the coming election year.

In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest benefi ciaries are single parents. Th e new MSP is calculated for adults only, so a single parent with two children saves as much as $1,200 a year.

Premium assistance is expanded, with discounts

for single people making up to $42,000, rather than $30,000. But for sin-gles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for dis-counts, the rate is going up another four per cent eff ective Jan. 1, 2017.

MSP revenue cov-ers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vi-tal signal to people that health care isn’t free.

Th is argument has failed.

One seldom-discussed fact is that for half of the people charged MSP, it’s paid by their employers. In private sector terms it’s a heft y payroll tax, creat-ing one more obstacle for businesses to hire full-time staff with benefi ts.

So most full-time em-ployees don’t receive this supposedly vital signal, unless they get laid off

because their employer is losing money.

Also note that politi-cians and public sector employees have never paid MSP premiums. Th eir employers, taxpay-ers, pick up the tab for them.

People who have to pay out of pocket are what the bureaucracy calls “pay direct accounts.”

Of course this is Cana-da, so even if you haven’t paid or even registered for MSP, you still get treatment at the hospital. Another potential signal lost in the noise.

For people who lose their jobs, MSP is like being kicked when they are down. Th eir employ-er stops paying, and the slow-moving bureaucra-cy charges them based on their income from the previous year.

Th ere was a fuss in 2004 aft er the B.C. Lib-erals contracted out MSP

administration to a Vir-ginia-based back-offi ce specialist, delightfully named Maximus Corpo-ration.

Now Maximus goes aft er delinquent MSP accounts with collection agency tactics, and at-tempts to keep up with the comings and goings from other provinces and countries.

Opposition parties de-cry the continued inequi-ty of the MSP premium system, which charges the same for a single per-son making $45,000 or $450,000 a year.

NDP leader John Hor-gan rails about inequal-ity and accuses Clark of using MSP revenues to establish her prosperity “slush fund,” but he stops short of calling for the elimination of MSP pre-miums.

One would expect the NDP to lead another “axe the tax” campaign, as

they did with the carbon tax and the HST, but they aren’t. Perhaps this is be-cause workers for this unnecessary Maximus machine remain mem-bers of the B.C. Govern-ment and Service Em-ployees’ Union.

Green Party leader An-drew Weaver has it right. He staged a popular pe-tition drive to roll MSP premiums into income tax. If the government wants to send a message, it can interrupt its con-tinuous “Jobs Plan” ad-vertising.

Scrapping MSP and raising income tax rates on higher brackets to compensate would fi x the private sector payroll deterrent, make salaried employees (including me) pay their share, and end a tax break for the wealthy.

Don’t hold your breath.

Boundary changes with new Clayton

high schoolPlanning where to direct stu-dents in Clayton neighbour-hood of Cloverdale begins

By Sheila ReynoldsWith the start of con-

struction on a new high school in Cloverdale come decisions about which students from what subdivisions and elementary schools will go there when it opens.

Clayton North Sec-ondary, destined for a site on 184 Street near 73 Avenue, isn’t expect-ed to be ready to open until fall 2018, but the Surrey School District is beginning the process of defi ning boundaries and catchment areas.

Th e new high school will impact both Lord Tweedsmuir and Clay-ton Heights second-ary schools, which are both over capacity. For example, students cur-rently in Lord Tweeds-muir’s catchment may be diverted to Clayton Heights, while some destined for Clay-ton Heights might be switched to the new school.

Th e possible bound-ary changes could also have implications for the elementary schools nearby, in that children in those schools could feed into diff erent high schools than they cur-rently do.

Planning for the new school’s arrival is “com-plex,” says a memo to school trustees.

“Th e task needs to be approached with clarity and thoroughness,” the memo reads.

Th is month and next, the district plans look at the options, issues and challenges of the chang-es and hopes to post in-formation and process on PlaceSpeak, an on-line discussion group.

In the months follow-ing, consultation will begin, through pub-lic meetings, as well as PlaceSpeak and that

feedback will be shared. A report will be made public in June, with the board of education making a decision on the boundaries changes by November.

Clova TED TalksJASON BORKOWSKI

PHOTOS

About 150 students from Cloverdale Catholic School and a few dozen adults packed into the Clova Theatre Monday, February 22 for student-led TED Talks. It was a unique opportunity for students and is in line with B.C.’s redesigned curriculum, according to Jason Borkowski, the school’s princi-pal. Topics ranged from the dangers of sugar to girl power to puppies and how people view possessions in the west versus in developing countries. Students from grades fi ve to seven used wireless mics and walked around the stage.

BC Hydro applies for rate increaseBC Hydro applied Friday for an electricity rate in-

crease of four per cent, starting April 1.Th e utility said that would mean an extra four dol-

lars a month for the average residential customer.CEO Jessica McDonald said staff applied to the

B.C. Utilities Commission to hike the rate for the next fi scal year because they need more time to up-date their forecasts in light of “recent events in the mining and LNG sectors.”

BC Hydro had planned to make a three-year rate application using government-mandated rate caps of four per cent this year, 3.5 per cent next year and three per cent in the following year.

McDonald said the next two years will still be within the government-directed caps, part of a 10-year rate plan that will turn the setting of rates back to the BCUC by 2020.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett recently announced a deferral program for mines, allowing them to put off paying their electricity bills to keep operating with low prices for metals and coal.

BC Hydro said it expects to continue to see an overall increase in demand for the next couple of de-cades.

By Lauren CollinsCrime in Cloverdale is relatively low compared

to other parts of Surrey, said Acting Sgt. Winston Shorey of the Surrey RCMP’s District 4 Cloverdale/Port Kells.

While it’s a benefi t, Shorey told the members of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association at the Annual General Meeting on Feb. 23 that “there is still a lot of police work for us to do here which allows us to take a more proactive approach to the policing we’re doing.”

Shorey said a big focus of what the RCMP is working on is targeting prolifi c off enders or prob-lem residents.

By working with bylaws, the fi re department and property owners, Shorey said the RCMP has en-gaged about six or seven problem properties.

“Th ey tend to harbour criminals and criminal ac-tivity. So that’s a big focus for us. We’re very pleased with that. We’ve had some solid arrests. We’re see-ing numbers.”

Th e district is seeing double-digit reductions in residential break and enters this past year.

“I look at that, for sure, as being a good sense of what’s happening in the community. [Break and en-ters] are on the fall. We’re going to continue here.”

Shorey added that there has been a spike in car theft s in the area, but the RCMP is on top of it.

“Th ere are multiple teams engaged with it right

now,” he said. “We know who the off enders are and there have been signifi cant targeting tactics put in place to deal with this off enders.”

Shorey, who took over the role of Community Re-sponse Unit Sergeant aft er Sgt. Dan Gibbons retired in January, said he’s been going around to business-es and introducing himself to the community.

“You all know where the community policing of-fi ce is. It is a community policing offi ce. We invite the community to come and participate in that.”

Foreign buyers lured by loopholesWhile young people struggle to rent or buy a home

in Metro Vancouver, overseas investors are snapping up high-end commercial real estate thanks to a low Canadian dollar and loopholes in the property trans-fer tax, opposition MLAs say.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong changed the tax rules in his latest budget to exempt buyers of new homes up to $750,000, and increased the rate from two to three per cent for value over $2 million.

NDP housing critic David Eby says the tax not only drives up already unaff ordable home prices, it can still be avoided by off shore investors buying up downtown Vancouver offi ce towers like the Bentall Centre and Royal Centre.

“Th ere is a huge frustration in Metro Vancouver . . . . where people are tired of the fact that their wages have no connection to real estate prices, and they are fed up,” Eby said.

Th e province is moving to restore citizenship and residency declarations for real estate purchasers, but de Jong says he needs to collect data to measure the problem of non-resident investors before taking ac-tion.

“We actually do encourage people to come to Brit-ish Columbia and invest,” de Jong said.

Ready for adoptionSome Langley puppy mill dogs are ready to go to their forever home

By Staff Writer - Th e Langley TimesTh e fi rst 23 of 66 dogs and puppies seized from a

Langley puppy mill on Feb. 4 will be up for adop-tion this week at the Vancouver SPCA. Th e dogs medically cleared for adoption include eight adult Wheaton terriers, three adult Old English sheep-dogs, three adult Portuguese water dogs, one adult Bernese mountain dog, one adult standard poodle, fi ve 11-week-old standard poodle puppies and two fi ve-month-old Portuguese water dog puppies.

Due to the overwhelming interest in the dogs, the SPCA is holding three information sessions on Wednesday, March 2 for anyone interested in put-ting in an adoption application. Attendance at one of the sessions will be mandatory for any applicants due to the special needs of the dogs.

“We are truly grateful to the hundreds of peo-ple who have expressed interest in opening their homes to these dogs, but we want to make sure that anyone putting in an application fully understands the care that will be required to meet their ongoing behavioural and psychological needs,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of commu-nity relations for the BC SPCA.

“Some issues commonly faced by dogs raised in puppy mills include fearfulness due to lack of socialization, compulsive behaviours, house-soiling and sensitivity to touch. With the proper care and attention these dogs have a wonderful future, but we want to make sure that people understand the commitment they are taking on.”

Pre-registration is required at www.spca.bc.ca/infosession.

Th e sessions will be held at 4:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Room 1228B at Vancouver Community Col-lege, 1155 East Broadway. Pre-regis-tration is required at www.spca.bc.ca/infosession.

Th e dogs will not be in attendance at the information sessions but staff will be available to discuss each of the available dogs in detail with potential adopters. Th e BC SPCA respectful-ly requests that interested parties do

not call the Vancouver shelter prior to the sessions to ensure that staff can focus on the on-going daily care of the animals.

“Our goal in holding the information sessions is to match the specifi c needs of each dog with an in-dividual or family who has the time, skills and pa-tience to help them reach their full potential,” said Chortyk. “Th e dogs have been through so much and we just want the adoption process to be a success for both the animals and for the wonderful people opening their hearts and homes to them.”

While more of the Langley dogs and puppies will be available for adoption in upcoming weeks as they are cleared medically, the Vancouver SPCA shelter remains closed until mid-March to ensure biosecurity protocols are upheld for the remaining dogs in care.

In the meantime, the SPCA continues to put to-gether their report to Crown counsel in hopes crim-inal charges will be approved against the Langley dog breeders.

And the award goes to...Former-BIA president Lyle MacMillan receives award at AGM

By Lauren CollinsAt the Cloverdale

Business Improvement Association’s Annual General Meeting on Feb. 23, previous BIA president Lyle MacMil-lan was given the Com-munity Pillar Award.

City councillor Dave Woods presented Mac-Millan with the award.

“If ever there should be somebody recog-nized in the communi-ty - it’s Lyle MacMillan,” Woods said.

MacMillan has lived in the Cloverdale area since 1956 and has been very active in the com-munity over the years.

He served as BIA president until 2014.

“Th e BIA didn’t ex-ist until 1995 and, of course, Lyle played a huge part of it right from the word go,” Woods said.

As MacMillan accept-ed the Community Pil-lar Award, he jokingly said, “I don’t deserve all of it, but I will accept it anyway.”

MacMillan was a former member of the RCMP and put himself through law school. He is now a part of MacMillan Tucker and Mackay based in down-town Cloverdale.

MacMillan has “been more or less the town lawyer,” according to Woods.

Over the years, he has been a part of the Clo-verdale Board of Trade, the Cloverdale BIA, the Surrey Chamber of Commerce, the Rota-ry Club of Surrey, the Cloverdale Legion and a former-president of the Surrey Memorial Hos-pital Board.

“I intend to - when I get old - retire here,” MacMillan said.

MacMillan also thanked the past and present city council and the RCMP for getting

Cloverdale to where it is today.

“I’m really fortunate to be here, and thank you very much for the honour tonight.”

Surrey-based entrepreneurs hope to ‘take mess and stink out of composting’ with their locally-sourced productBy Lauren CollinsA Surrey-based

company is trying to reduce odour, moisture and pest issues with their new composting

product.Compy started sell-

ing in 2015 and can be found in a few organics stores, Choices and some London Drugs.

Th e Cloverdale London Drugs (17685 64 Ave-nue) began selling the product recently.

Co-founder Shawn Davis began compost-

ing when he was UBC studying business and sciences as an elective,.

Research and devel-opment on the product in 2014 when he was a

year out of university.Davis worked with

his other co-founder Sam Sidhu, who has also been with Compy since the beginning.

Compy is all locally-sourced, and partly made up of plant by-product.

“We don’t grow plants just to be thrown into your compost bin,” Davis said. Th e rest of what they use, Davis

said, is a secret. “We try to keep what we’re using under wraps.”

But he added, that people will fi nd out eventually.

Compy eliminates odours at the source by reacting at the molec-ular level with the food waste to reduce harsh odours given off by the food waste.

“It helps to balance out your compost. It’s a

basic science compost. You need a good source of carbon to [work with] your food scraps which are nitrogen. Th at carbon to nitrogen ratio is important for healthy soil.”

Th is helps to create better soil in the long run.

What will you resort to for treatment? Are you considering acupuncture as your last resort to your conditions?

Q:

A: Most people seek acupuncture because they have bene� tted a lot from acupuncture. Acupuncture has been shown to relieve pain, increase circulation, relieve muscle spasms, decrease in� ammation, and even increase the T-cell count which has a positive effect on the immune system.

When parents inquire about martial arts we often hear the concern that their children have difficulty sticking with a program (softball, swimming, soccer, etc.) and they are worried about committing to a program. As with most things, it is how we are taught to deal with challenges and obstacles that we face in life that determine what we will do the next time we face a challenge. If a child is allowed to quit when they get bored or things get difficult then when future obstacles arise it will be much easier to quit again. Essentially if we allow them to quit, we are teaching them to be quitters. In Martial Arts the journey to Black Belt is difficult (as is any goal worth achieving). Every class presents challenges that must be overcome with the help of the instructor and peers. It is during the process of overcoming the most difficult challenges through persistence and proper guidance that the greatest amount of learning and skill development occurs. The habit of meeting and conquering challenges results in greater confidence so that the response becomes ‘what do I need to do to meet this challenge’ instead of ‘it’s too difficult, I think I’ll quit’. The lessons learned by conquering obstacles might be what it takes later in life to reach significant goals like graduating from high school, university or getting that promotion at work (or maybe doing what it takes to survive in a life and death situation). At Cloverdale Black Belt Academy the majority of students that enrol in their first class as a white belt, eventually reach the goal of Black Belt or beyond (an accomplishment that takes years).Give us a call or drop in and try a class to start the journey to reach your maximum potential!

What do you do about kids that want to quit?

DENTIST

Q:A:

Why do I need a crown?A crown, also called a cap, is a type of dental restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape, size and function. It is a hollowed out cover and It’s purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth, protecting it from further damage. You may need a crown if you have had a root canal, a very large fi lling or a broken tooth. Crowns can also be used to cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth. A tooth that has been fi xed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth. Crowns are made of several types of materials that may consist of metal alloys, ceramics, composite resin and porcelain or a combination. As long as you keep your oral health in good condition you can expect a well made crown to last 10 or more years.

I heard that turmeric is good for arthritis. Can I just buy turmeric from the grocery store and put it in my food?

Curcumin, the active flavonoid in turmeric has potent anti-inflammatory properties and can be very effective for many inflammatory conditions including all types of arthritis. Because curcumin only constitutes about 2% of turmeric, you would have to eat a LOT of turmeric to experience the benefits. CURAMED ® utilizes BCM-95 ®, a patented curcumin with turmeric essential oils that enhances the absorption and effectiveness of the curcumin. Taking 1 softgel of Curamed ® is roughly equivalent to taking 500 capsules of turmeric. Curamed ® is very safe to use and does not cause the side effects associated with many anti-inflammatory medications (such as gastric or kidney side effects).

Physical Therapists use ultrasound waves to assist injury healing and repair of body tissue. This form of treatment was proven and has been in use since the 1940’s. The question of cat purring as a healing treatment has also been shown to be true. The vibration frequency of purring is in the same range as therapeutic healing used in human medicine. Research has suggested that having a purring cat as part of the family will also decrease stress, and lower blood pressure in the family members. Cats will purr when they need to repair a broken bone or damaged tissue. The next time you look at your cat remember they are a special family member with their ability to assist healing.

Sports in brief

Surrey Archives Talk the 1950’sI Love Lucy was on the television, Ben-Hur was in

theatres and Mr. Sandman was playing on the radio. Th e 1950s were an iconic decade with many his-

torical milestones. Th e Surrey Archives plans to feature many of

those events with Th e Fift ies in Surrey, a session that profi les retro photos, newspaper coverage, maps and more, with particular attention on how the city itself changed throughout the decade.

Th e program will take place on Saturday, March 12 from 11 a.m. to noon at the Surrey Archives, 17671 56 Ave.

Surrey saw substantial growth in the 50s as its population more than doubled to 70,838 residents by 1961.

“Th e ‘50s were a decade of change for Surrey,” said archivist Chelsea Bailey. “RCMP began policing Surrey in ’51, the address system moved from road names to numbers in ’57 and Surrey Memorial Hos-pital opened in ’59.”

Admission is $11 and pre-registration is required.Secure your spot by calling 604-502-6459.

REAL ESTATE

Do you see an end to this seller’s market anytime soon?

Q:

A:

604-574-0161 • katronisrealestate.com

REAL ESTATE TEAM

This is my most asked question. Realtors do not make the market, we follow it. As the supply of properties dwindle, our buyers have to pay more as they compete with their offer to secure a property. Until we have more listings on the market, buyers will deplete the inventory causing rising prices. This rising market will end sometime, but not until there are more than enough properties for each and every buyer wishing to purchase.

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, this is a great opportunity to not only get a great interest rate but also to determine what type of mortgage now best suits your current situation.Start by considering:1. Do you plan on moving in the near future?

If yes, then an open mortgage or one that’s portable could give you the flexibility you need. Some mortgage lenders have more flexibility than others.

2. Do you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly? Consider an accelerated payment schedule or a lump sum payment as it could save thousands in interest over the life of the mortgage.

3. Is your monthly cash flow a little tight? Increasing your amortization will lower your payments and free up cash for other needs or consider a refinance to eliminate interest debts.

4. Do you want to consider some long-awaited home renovations? The best time to make changes to your mortgage is usually upon renewal.

At Invis-Feisal & Associates, we can speak to you about any concerns you may have, including interest rate trends, future plans and other financial decisions that may affect your mortgage requirements. Be prepared so that you know what to do as your mortgage renewal approaches.

TRAVEL AGENTQ:

A:

I have never cruised before what is included?Cruising is becoming the #1 way to vacation whether short getaways or longer trips. Pricing is want people are looking at what is the ‘best deal for my buck’. Most of the time cruising is cheaper then a hotel stay. BENEFITS: You get to see so much more as you stop at so many ports. You have all your entertainment, great Las Vegas style shows even a casino on board, tons of great food from buffett to fi ne dining, even a kids club so they have fun and you can relax If you never cruised before this is the time to try a 1,2 or 3 day short sail. I have some great deals coming up in the next month or so and they are going fast. Call me and lets talk about showing you what cruising is like, and cheaper than a dinner and night down town.

DENTURIST

Q:

A:

Why should your missing teeth be replaced?Your teeth play an important role and even one missing tooth can have a negative impact on your remaining teeth and oral health. When a tooth is missing the healthy adjacent teeth tend to tilt, rotate and shift affecting how your upper and lower teeth meet. This can cause problems when chewing and has an impact on surrounding muscles and your jaw joints.

Partial dentures can be a great solution to replace teeth by:

• preserving the natural placement of your existing teeth

• preventing your remaining teeth from tilting and moving

• preventing further damage to your remaining teeth

• restoring your smile and improving speech

• restoring your ability to eat confi dently and effi ciently!

Little free library to be built in North Cloverdale West neighbourhood this monthBy Lauren CollinsA community in Cloverdale will

be getting a little free library later this month.

Th e little free library will be lo-cated in Provinceton Park (180 Street and 70 Avenue).

Cloverdale resident Shahee Lakhani got the idea aft er seeing a post on Facebook from Village Surrey about the community li-brary.

Village Surrey had a library al-

ready built and they were off ering it to anyone who already had a lo-cation in mind, Lakhani said.

Lakhani had her neighbourhood in mind, but hadn’t done anything else yet such as getting city approv-al.

“I didn’t know there was so much stuff to get approved. I just went, ‘I have a spot!’”

Th is new little free library is one of several in the city. Th is one is be-ing sponsored by the Rotary Club

of Cloverdale.According to the Surrey Librar-

ies’ website, little free libraries “promote literacy, love of reading and help build a sense of commu-nity.”

Lakhani thought it was a good location since there’s lots of houses in the neighbourhood and Prov-inceton Park gets used a lot in the summer.

“We are hoping that with a lot of foot traffi c - because of the young

families here - that people will use the little library.”

“Because a lot of parents sit here and the kids are play-ing and they’re just chatting or a single parent will come with all the neighbours’ kids, and all the kids are playing and she’s just watching them. So it’s nice to grab a book from there and read it.”

Lakhani has received a lot of positive feedback from the community about the little library. She hopes the idea takes off and keeps the interest going.

Lakhani will be the main person looking aft er the li-brary with some help from others. She’ll be making sure

the books rotate.“If certain

books, I notice, don’t get taken as much, I can take those to the library and get a new set of books. Or I can take from my stock, which people will give to me.”

“Pretty much everyone can take what they want and give what they want. It’s an honour system. I think it’s a nice thing. It’ll bring more people together.”

Th e Surrey Li-brary will give the fi rst set of books and will continue to give more as they get more inventory or duplicate books.

Work on the little library will start this week, according to Lakhani, and they’re hoping to have it fi nished around the time

spring break starts, which is March 14.

Lakhani said the community will probably have an offi cial launch party once the little library is done.

SHAHEE LAKHANI PHOTOConstruction for the little free library is set to start this week in Provinceton Park (180 Street and 70 Avenue).

Walk raises thousands for homelessThe Coldest Night of the Year walk raised more than last year

DEBBIE PREUSS PHOTO Last year, the walk raised $40,000 for the Pacifi c Community Church’s commercial-grade Cloverdale Community Kitchen.

By Lauren CollinsMore than $50,000 were raised at the Coldest

Night of the Year walk on Feb. 20.Th e annual walk is meant to raise money to help

the homeless or those in need.Th is year, the money raised is going toward food

for the Pacifi c Community Church’s community kitchen and furnishing the new Bill Reid Memorial Shelter.

Th e money raised will be split evenly between the two.

Th ere were more than 300 walkers and 60 volun-teers this year.

Th ere was a chili dinner provided by local food company Zinetti’s Food.

Save-on-Foods provided rolls and desserts, and Starbucks also gave the walkers coff ee.

Th e event was sponsored by the Katronis Real Es-tate Team.

It was perfect weather for the walk, according to Matthew Campbell, the manager of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen. He added it was a clear night and there was almost a full moon.

Campbell said people had lots of fun walking and supporting people in Cloverdale who are hungry, homeless and hurting.

PENNYFrancis

January 10, 1950 - February 13, 2016

Lovingly remembered by his wife Asante Penny (Rita Loftsgard), son Simon (Frances), his siblings Philip (Liette), Michael (Dorothy), Catherine and Kevin (Kristin), and his grandchildren Alyssa, Mark, Caelan and Neala.Loyal to friends and family, Francis had a charm and charisma that made people smile.

A natural sportsman, he enjoyed hockey, football and golf. Francis was a very creative and talented person. He quit math in high school to study theatre, and then travelled extensively doing children’s theatre. Subsequently becoming a journalist, he published in the Washington Post, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun, and other publications. Francis loved animals. He was professionally involved with thoroughbreds in Ontario and standardbreds in BC, and became marketing director at Fraser Downs Racetrack. Fueled by his love of nature, a new dream appeared and he became a bee keeper. Fascinated by the artistry of web design, he leaves a legacy of beautiful websites.

A celebration of his life will be held in the spring when the ground dries up. Donations may be made to the

Senior Animals In Need Today Society in Mission, BC.

She was a loving mother to Karen, caring Gramma to Troy and Josh McMullin and loving Great Gramma to Mason Sekura-McMullin. We miss you dearly. Have a dancing party with Marilynn, Michel and Garth. Joyce did not want a ceremony.
