Village plans rolling along
JENNIFER LANG PHOTOHeavy equipment and crews begin offsite roadworks for Cloverdale West Village. Site servicing for sewer, roads, and sidewalks is expected to take six months in preparation for development.
By Jennifer LangMassive pieces of machinery be-
gan thundering along 57 Avenue last week, as workers started the next phase of the Cloverdale West Village project.
� e site of the former Cloverdale Plaza Mall, torn down two years ago, is being redeveloped for a multi-phase residential and retail project.
Over the next six months, trucks, construction people will be working in the area, creating new roads and sidewalks, and adding the necessary sewer and water infrastructure need-ed for development.
Cars dodged a line of barrel-shaped orange cones as tra� c along 57 Av-enue between the Cloverdale Bypass and 175 Street was ushered past back-hoes and other equipment.
Onlookers watched as crews tore up the asphalt to make way for a new water main.
� e work is being done by B&B Contracting, a Surrey company spe-cializing in general and infrastructure contracting.
� e project consultant is Core Group Consultants.
Last December, when remediation
work related to a former drycleaning operation, got underway. Fencing was put up around the site, bordered by the Bypass and 175 Street, between 57 and 58 Avenues.
� e project’s � rst phase calls for a new home for Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 in Cloverdale. � e branch will get a 10,000 square-foot hall, plus 1,800 square feet of retail space to rent out as an ongoing source of revenue. � ere will also be four � oors of resi-dential space in phase one.
� e projected start of construction is early 2014. � e master plan is to de-velop several mixed-used commercial and residential buildings, with con-dos and townhomes, built over sev-eral years.
� e overall project developer for Cloverdale West Village is the Sur-rey City Development Corporation, along with Townline Housing Solu-tions, in collaboration with the Clo-verdale Legion on phase one.
“Who the tenants will be, we won’t know for a long time,” said Jim Cox, SCDC president and CEO.
� ere are no plans to close down any roads while site servicing takes place.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOErin and Jamie O’Neill cuddle with Greyson at the neona-tal unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital.
� eir teeny, tiny miracleBy Monique TammingaErin O’Neill was around 25 weeks preg-
nant when she went into labour.She was undergoing a routine gestation-
al diabetes test when she started feeling lower back pain.
“I started getting what felt like contrac-tions,” said O’Neill.
“I downloaded a contraction app on my phone and I quickly learned that my con-tractions were coming every three min-utes.”
As the mother of two older kids, she re-mained fairly calm and drove herself to the hospital.
“I actually parked a block away so I
wouldn’t have to pay for parking. I thought it would be like my other two kids,” said Erin of her seven-year-old son and � ve-year-old daughter.
But for Erin and husband Jamie, this pregnancy and birth would be anything but routine.
Greyson was born on July 24, weighing just one pound, 14 ounces. He could have � t into his father’s hand, if he wasn’t cov-ered in the tubes and ventilators that he needed to stay alive.
When he � rst arrived in the world, the baby didn’t breathe for a full 15 minutes. Doctors prepared the couple for the worst, saying they didn’t think Greyson would live.
But miracles do happen — “Greyson is living proof,” said Jamie, a � rst-time dad.
Greyson was rushed to Children’s Hos-pital in Vancouver and into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he has spent the last � ve weeks.
So have his parents.Erin and Jamie have remained by their
baby’s side, and their world has turned into a day-to-day emotional rollercoaster as they fall in love with their tiny bundle of joy.
Two weeks ago both mom and dad got to hold baby Greyson for the � rst time.

Thieves hit businessesBy Jennifer LangBusiness owners and merchants in Cloverdale are
being warned that thieves are again targeting the area.
The warning was issued after a spate of late night break and enters last week at three local businesses, according to a Heads Up business alert distributed to members of the Cloverdale Business Improve-ment Association.
An alarm consisting of glass sensors and motion detectors was triggered at Western Equipment at 114 5219 192 Street at about 8:11 p.m. Aug. 25. Po-lice found a rear door had been ripped open.
The day before, thieves were interrupted breaking into BC Plant Health Care at 184 and 53 Avenue, and two males wearing hooded jackets were spotted fleeing on foot, headed east on 54 Avenue.
Four days later, Surrey RCMP responded to an alarm at Elisabeth’s Chalet Restaurant at 17785 56 Avenue. At 12:30 a.m. Aug. 28, thieves broke a front window to gain entry to the building. The police se-cured the perimeter and cleared the business. No one was found inside.
Busineses were also warned about the return of several persons of interest in the area.
The alerts are a joint notification program put out by the Cloverdale BIA and the Surrey RCMP’s Port Kells/Cloverdale district office.
Staff Sgt. Martin Blais has asked the business community to report all suspicious individuals and activities to police, using the non-emergency num-ber.
The information helps Surrey RCMP allocate personnel.
By Jennifer LangResidents of the East Clayton area are invited to an open house on the Ha-
zelgrove Park project, poised to be the neighbourhood’s largest once com-plete.
The City of Surrey is looking for ideas and feedback on amenities resi-dents would like included in the park, and is hosting an open house Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Hazelgrove Elementary School.
Parks staff and the design team will be on hand with more details about the project, as well as receive feedback and answer questions about potential plans.
Information gathered will help guide the design. A second open house is planned for November as a follow-up on how the plans are shaping up.
A new park is one of the priorities in the East Clayton Neighbourhood Concept Plan.
The site is a 3.5 hectare area between 190 and 191 Street, north of Hazel-grove Elementary.
It will be developed as a community park with outdoor recreation and greenspace, plus amenities for team sports and play, according to the City of Surrey.
In addition, youth and community stakeholder workshops about the park’s design will be taking place this fall.
The final park design should be completed in spring 2014, with construc-tion beginning next summer.
The open house runs from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gym at Hazelgrove Elemen-tary, 7057 191 Street.
For more information call 604-501-505 or email [email protected], or visit surrey.ca/culture-recreation/13911.aspx.

Racers raise cash for the ClovaBy Jennifer LangMore than 150 people
turned out for Sunday’s scavenger race through downtown Cloverdale, hosted by the Clova Cinema.
Teams sped around down picking up clues to their next stop from participating businesses in the first-ever Amaz-ing Race: Cloverdale.
The Yankees were first, completing the race in record time, with the team from Sweet n’ Chic in second place.
The event raised more than $1,000.
“So thank-ful that it was a huge success,” read a message on The Clova’s Facebook Page. “Thanks to all the volunteers and racers. As well as all the employees at all the businesses who partici-pated.”
There was even a ce-lebrity or two: B.C.’s
own Lochlyn Munro, a film and TV actor, plus greeter emeritus Do-ris Burghardt, who co-owns the family-run Clova, and her dog, Cupcake, who both welcomed pa-trons piling
inside for the double-bill matinee screening of Monsters University and Turbo.
The Sept. 1 race was
the latest in the single screen’s efforts to raise cash for switch to a digi-tal projection system.
The movie studios are increasingly moving to digital-only releases, forcing the Clova to consider an expensive upgrade or dim the pro-jector for good.

A reader would like to say Hats O� to mo-torists and passersby who rushed to the
aid of a senior in a scooter who tipped over onto a busy roadway in downtown Cloverdale a few weeks ago.
Dennie Hartshorn says the light had just changed at the in-tersection of 177B and Highway 10, where shoppers were eager to enter Clover Square Village Mall, or continue on their morning’s rush.
Her heart pounded as she watched a man riding a motor-ized scooter fall to the ground, along with his machine.
It was around 11:30 a.m. on a Friday and she feared someone in a hurry would run him over – or would simply race o� to their des-tinations, assuming someone else would help.
But to her relief, mo-torists in every direction
stopped their vehicles, leapt out and rushed to the
man’s aid. � e man, who wore glasses and a re- ective vest, was OK.
“I’m glad people didn’t drive away. Peo-ple are still keeping an
eye out for people,” says Hartshorn, who called � e
Reporter following the incident to share the upli� ing news.
“It made me feel good that people were stopping.”
Drivers use cautionA new school year has begun,
and with it come timely remind-ers from the RCMP and from
ICBC asking motorists to slow down in school zones.
It’s a dangerous time of year for kids, who are at increased risk from transportation-related in-juries, says Cst. Janelle Shoihet of the White Rock RCMP.
She says until children are about eight years old, it’s di� -cult for them to assess whether a vehicle is moving or not, and as-sume cars stop instantly, among other alarming facts.
So drivers, please use extra caution, and watch for children, especially in and around school zones in the mornings and a� er-noons.
And parents, review the rules of the road with your children and go over their daily route to and from school.

To the editor;Re: “Rubber hits road for
B-Line,” Aug. 29I can’t believe that this
isn’t being o� ered down Fraser Highway on the 502 route.
People are having to wait three buses to get on at Central City and people are jammed in like sardines.
Maybe TransLink is try-ing to force people on this side of the bridge to drive their cars, in turn paying the gas tax and the bridge tolls.

Rescued pups thriveBy Jennifer LangIt took rescuers three,
patience-testing days in late May to trap and rescue four wily little coyote pups from a burnt-out, aban-doned home in Cloverdale.
It was also danger-ous work; the property was covered in garbage, charred wood and debris.
One of the six-week-old orphans was so ill, it died even after being taken to see a vet.
The fifth pup was already dead – clearly killed by humans at the creepy site – a horrifying discovery for represen-tatives of Critter Care Wildlife Society, an animal rescue and rehabilitation centre in South Langley.
But the survivors, Piper, Tennant and Barrow-man, were nursed back to health at Critter Care, where they’ve thrived.
The centre, located at 481 216 Street in Langley in Campbell Valley Park, cares for sick, injured and orphaned animals and returns them to the wild.
Coyotes are among the most common ani-mals from the Cloverdale area to wind up at the wildlife refuge.
It’s staffed by volunteers and interns from across the globe who are eager to work hands-on with wildlife such as bear cubs, sea otters,
raccoons, and the urban coyote.
It’s demanding work; newborns must be bottle fed every two to three hours.
The centre is run on donations. Supporters can sponsor injured or orphaned animals, from a tiny chipmunk to a bea-ver, fawn, or bobcat.
Critter Care currently has 13 coyote pups in care – five are being housed in one of the society’s bear
enclosures due to space constraints.On Sunday, Oct. 6, Critter Care hosts its 5th
annual walk-a-thon fundraiser at Campbell Val-ley Regional Park.
Participants put on their wildest walking gear and bring family, friends, and four-legged com-panions for a walk in Campbell Valley Regional Park. Meet at the south entrance, off 8 Avenue.
There are prizes and surprises for all par-ticipants. This year, there are two routes, along with a barbecue. Exhibitors include Bear Aware, OWL, and some environmental groups.
The deadline for registration is Sept. 21. It’s $5 to register. Do so online at www.critter-
carewildlife.org, by mail, or by phone, by calling 604-530-2054 (ask for Maureen Binnie).

“That was an amazing moment,” said Jamie. The proud papa has been keeping the Facebook
world up to date on their journey, calling the public site “Greyson’s Page.” It already has more than 600 likes.
Not knowing if Greyson would make it through each day, Jamie has been on leave from his job at Target.
Erin didn’t qualify for maternity leave employ-ment insurance because she wasn’t working at her job long enough. That means there isn’t any money coming in while the couple stay by their baby’s side, day and night.
Because Jamie doesn’t drive and Erin was told she couldn’t for the first few weeks after the birth, the pair were taking the bus into Vancouver. It took them two hours each way.
And because the couple is from Langley, which is within Metro Vancouver borders, they don’t qualify to stay at the Ronald McDonald House or Easter Seal House.
But Variety Club got wind of their situation and bought them some time at Ronald McDonald House. Their stay has been extended to the end of September.
But it will be at least three months until Greyson is allowed to come home.
“We can take him home hopefully on Nov. 6, which was Erin’s original due date,” Jamie said. That means by next week the couple will be driving in, having to pay for tolls and gas along the way.
Erin has gone back to work once a week at White Sands Day Spa in Cloverdale to generate some in-come.
Two weeks ago, Greyson had major heart surgery to close a valve that hadn’t fully formed. He now weighs three pounds.
He has been on life support but is a fighter, said his dad.
“He has been fighting the breathing machine. He’s like his mom, he likes to do it his way,” he said.
In the meantime, Erin’s other two children have been staying with their dad, full-time but are eager to be with their new brother. Everyone has been very supportive, they said.
To compound their stress, the O’Neills need to find a new place to live. The current home they rent in Langley has mould problems in the bathroom. Although they have tried to mitigate some of it, they can’t take the chance of mould spores when they bring Greyson home.
They don’t know where they are going to find the money to rent a new place, they said. Erin is filling out paperwork for B.C. Housing.
If would you like to help out the O’Neills and support baby Greyson there are several fundraisers coming up.

New federal riding to include Langley CityBy Jennifer LangCloverdale will be
in a new federal riding that includes part of Langley.
The final decision on federal electoral boundaries for the next 10 years was an-nounced Aug. 21 by the Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C., adding six new seats for the province in the House of Commons.
The new Clover-dale-Langley City rid-ing combines Langley City, part of Langley Township west of 200 Street, north from the city boundary to High-way 1, with Cloverdale, along with a portion of Surrey as far west as 144 Street.
The new riding has a population of 108,519.
The rest of Langley township will join the riding of Langley-Al-dergrove.
Langley residents had wanted Langley to re-main in a single riding, according to Langley MP Mark Warawa, who spoke to the Standing Committee on Proce-dure and House Affairs in March, but the com-mission decided the riding’s population was too high.
The new boundar-ies take effect in the next federal election in 2015.
Warawa said he in-tends to run in Lang-ley-Aldergrove.
Every 10 years, the number of electoral
districts and their boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth.
The commission held 23 public hearings across B.C. last fall on proposed changes.
Various neighbouring electoral districts have been reconfigured or created.
South Surrey-White Rock is forming its own riding, with a popula-tion of 94,678.
South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert had ob-jected to the name given to the reconfigured Sur-rey Centre district, pro-posing ‘Surrey North’ as more appropriate.
But there was signifi-cant support for keep-ing it as Surrey Centre
at the public hearing in Surrey.
“The name recogniz-es that the district en-
compasses Surrey’s city centre,” the report says.
To consult the report, visit www.federal-redis-
tribution.ca. To view the new elec-
toral boundaries, go to www.redecoupage-fed-

SURREY ARCHIVESA school group poses outside
Cloverdale School, circa

Surrey Museum volunteer Diane
Radcliffe, who teaches contem-
porary school groups what life was like in Sur-rey’s early days.

Surrey Museum volunteers bring history to life through school programsBy Jennifer LangEvery time she
welcomes a new school group to the Surrey Long Ago program at the Surrey Museum, Diane Radcliffe asks
how many of them would like to be a pio-neer child.
“There’s always one kid that puts up their hand,” she says, sug-gesting if they really knew what it was like, no hands would be go-ing up.
Radcliffe is a volun-teer with Surrey Long Ago, a school program for primary students to Grade 3 that explores what life was like grow-ing up in Surrey in the late 19th and early 20th century.
The kids visit a real, 1870s log cabin that was built by Surrey pioneer Eric Ander-son, and also attend an historical classroom lesson.
“I think it’s an eye-opener for them,” says Ratcliff, a Cloverdale resident who has vol-unteered with the same school program for many years.
“I go through the litany of things they would have done as a pioneer child. First off, they’d have to walk to school – there was no-body driving them.”
They also had to walk to school – sometimes as far as a kilometer, she notes drily – and some of the children didn’t even have any shoes because shoes were expensive.
“You wouldn’t have wanted to be a pioneer child,” she insists firmly. “Or a pioneer teacher. For one, you couldn’t get married.”
She also talks about how corporal punish-ment was meted out to
pioneer-era students who misbehaved.
“We also talk about how the girls had to wear pinafores, and no, they didn’t shower and bathe every day.”
In Surrey’s early days, most students were less removed from rural life and were familiar with hardships and depriva-tions that are simply astounding to today’s students.
Still, the pioneer era had its charms. The log cabin, says Radcliffe, is always a big hit with students.
“The kids love the cabin.”
Surrey Long Ago is one of three school programs needing new volunteers for fall.
People of the Land explores West Coast First Nations traditions. Students learn about resource gathering
and other topics, and try their hand at cedar weaving and sample a traditional feast of salmon and berries.
Ancient Buried Trea-sures is for Grades 6-7. Students do a simulated archeological dig, and examine reproductions of ancient Egyptian and Greek objects.
Other long-time volunteers include people like Gary Goe-bel, a history buff and school program docent, and Roger Bose, who frequently leads public tours and walks.
The Surrey Museum’s school programs start on Oct. 2, and are offered on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thurs-days.
There’s a volunteer orientation session on Sept. 12 for those interested in finding out more.
The positions are ide-al for retired people and parents with school-age children.
Voluteers don’t need any special qualities or expertise, says Rad-cliffe. “I think they just need to be able to enjoy children.”
She began volun-teered at her children’s schools when they were growing up and when her youngest daugh-ter graduated from high school, Radcliffe decided to look into volunteering with the Surrey Museum’s school programs after hearing about them through an acquaintance.
“It’s a great program to do.”
When they’re learn-ing the ropes, volun-teers receive a sheet containing all the mate-

rial they need to know.It’s not hard learn-
ing the material, and new volunteers receive lots of help from the veterans. Newbies are allowed to shadow someone until they’re comfortable working with student groups alone.
“It’s not hard,” she says.
Volunteers don’t wear costumes, she points out. They rotate
through the various sta-tions, delivering infor-mation. Radcliffe uses cards. Others ‘wing it,” she says.
The curriculum-based programs are set up for elementary students from Grades 1 to 7 and are used by classes from across Surrey, Delta, Langley, and New Westminster, along with private schools. Several of the most popular programs have been adapted for home schoolers.
In Surrey Long Ago, students are guided through a series of stations in parts of the Surrey Museum’s permanent gallery, then outside to the cabin.
“We each have a group and take them to different stations,” she explains, adding, “After a while, you get into a rhythm and it just becomes natural.”
They also look at ar-tifacts that would have used at home and work.
Every group is differ-
ent, she says.“There’s a lot of infor-
mation that we give out. We try to make it fun.
Passing along Sur-rey’s history to a new generation has also taught her to appreci-ate living in an era of modern labour-saving devices, technological advances, and enlight-ened attitudes.
“When I see what the pioneer women, how hard they worked, and how long they worked, even though I sometimes complain at home... to get the com-munity going, it wasn’t easy. They didn’t have the roads. They didn’t have the cars. We just don’t appreciate what we have, really.”
Recalling a day when up to 10 neighbour-ing homes shared one telephone party line, she wonders, “How did I live in that environ-ment?”
In many ways, it was a simpler time.
“I think we have it easier in many ways, but I’m glad when my kids were growing up, we didn’t have things like Facebook.”

The west’s bestIt’s been a perfect post season for the Spurs.The Cloverdale Spurs Peewee AAA baseball team,
fresh off their provincial title at the B.C. Championships in Prince George, just returned from Spruce Grove Al-berta, where they took on the best teams in Western Canada, reports team manager Todd O’Dell.
The B.C. squad dominated, playing 5-0 to win the Western Canadian Championship, pushing their post-season record to a perfect 11-0.
It’s the second year in a row that a Peewee AAA team from Cloverdale has won the Western Canadian title. Team B.C. won all their games by at least eight runs and four of the five games by a 10-run mercy including the semi-final and final. While Team B.C. had solid pitch-ing and great defence, their hot bats were the big story. B.C. led the tournament with a team batting average of .546 while pounding out nearly 18 hits a game. B.C’s Da-miano Palmegiani led all hitters with a batting average of .722, earning him the top offensive player award.
Cloverdale’s Bantam AAA U15 and AAA 18U teams re-cently won silvers at the national baseball championships.

Maze opens for the seasonBy Jennifer LangThe Bose Corn Maze and Veg-
gie Patch has opened for the season. The popular, family-run Cloverdale corn maze, now in its 14th year of operations, is one of Surrey’s best-loved attractions.
The 2013 maze pays tribute to historic Cloverdale with a de-sign patterned on the Cloverdale Business Improvement Associa-tion’s logo – a steam engine, re-flecting the area’s proud legacy as a transportation crossroads.
The giant maze sprawls across acres of dense corn rows, and is divided into two halves. There are numbered posts at stops along the maze route. Each has a trivia question leading in a particular direction. A correct answer will lead to the next numbered post, and so on.
“Don’t worry, we haven’t lost anyone,” the website says.
Successive generations of the Bose family have been farming in Surrey since Henry Bose landed in B.C. in 1891.
Today, Novy and Mike Bose raise field crops as well as poul-try. Their corn maze is a seasonal agritourism event that runs from late August to October.
The farm also sells vegetables: lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, red, white, and russet potatoes, kale, carrots, green onions, cucumber, bell peppers and tomatoes.
Later on in the harvest, the
farm sells pumpkins, too.The entrance to the Bose Corn
Maze and Veggie Patch is located one block south of 64 Avenue on 156 Street.
From Sept. 3 to Oct. 14, oper-ating hours are 6-8 p.m., Saturday from noon to 8 pm., and Sunday and holiday Mondays from noon to 4 p.m. Mondays to Wednes-days are reserved for groups of 15 or greater. Call 778-578-5450 or
email [email protected] to request a group trip.
Admission is until closing time, and visitors have 2.5 hours to complete the maze, so don’t worry if you get a late start. But remember to bring your flash-light.
Check www.bosecornmaze.com for weather updates. If it’s been raining, visitors may wish to wear boots and appropriate clothing.

Support group ‘a lifeline’A support group for people who are caring
for family members with Alzheimer’s disease is actively recruiting new volunteers in the Cloverdale area.
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. runs a free, caregiver support group that meets once a month, giving people a place to talk about how their lives are affected by dementia.
“This is their lifeline,” says Rose Puska, the society’s support and education coordinator
for the Cloverdale area.“They can meet with people with similar
issues who are in a unique po-sition to offer support to oth-ers on the same journey. The group is a place where they can talk openly, share information and give each other mutual support.”
An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of demen-
tia, a number that’s expected to double over the next generation, the society says.
The resulting need for sup-port and assistance is soaring. Volunteers help meet the de-mand.
“Volunteers are absolutely invaluable to our team,” she says. “It’s exceptionally re-warding work, to know that
you are making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.”
Support group facilitators are needed. To qualify, volunteers should have excellent lis-tening and empathy skills, a knowledge of dementia and facilitation skills or willing-ness to learn. Formal or informal caregiving experience is an asset.
Training is provided. A one-year commit-ment is required.
For more information and to volunteer, contact Puszka at 604-533-5277 or [email protected].

News in brief
An exceptionally sunny, dry summer helped push BC Parks to an all-time record number of reserva-tions at provincial campgrounds.
More than 115,000 camping reservations were made through the province’s Discover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year.
Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and campgrounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilliwack Lake, Mable Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the num-ber of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks.
While Labour Day is the traditional end to the regular camping season, BC Parks officials are try-ing to pump up shoulder season camping.
They say campsites are quieter in the fall, with at-tractions like spawning salmon in some areas.
It’s also the time of year when “long-stay camp-ing” is permitted, allowing campers to stay four to six weeks at reduced rates in select parks.
Seniors over 65 also get camping discounts from Sept. 3 to June 14 next year.

Q: What do we know about how class size impacts student learning?
A: Across different educational jurisdictions reduc-ing class size has been a popular policy initiative over the last 15 years. Intuititively, both parents and teachers believe that small class sizes will allow for more indi-vidual attention and result in higher achievement. However, what does the research say? The research con� rms that class size reduction does provide the environment in which teachers are able to teach differently. In smaller classes, they interact with individual students more frequently and use a greater variety of instructional strategies. Students learn more academical-ly and socially; they are more engaged and less disruptive. It is important to note, however, that other factors greatly enhance the bene� ts associated with smaller class sizes. The more important being the classroom teacher. When the classroom teacher is given the opportunity and time to learn new instructional strategies, to design quality learning experiences and collab-orate more frequently with colleagues, students truly bene� t from being in smaller groupings. Often parents will ask me; How many students are expected in my child’s class next year? I share with them the importance of knowing how class size in combination with a professional growth-oriented teacher will bene� t their child’s learning and development.

Prepayment Privileges...speed up your mortgage paydown!The prepayment privileges that come with your mortgage are there for a reason - they help you pay off your mortgage faster and reduce your interest costs. Prepayment privileges differ from lender to lender (up to 15%, 20% + 20%, double up, lump sum). Take the 20 + 20 privilege; it allows an annual mortgage payment increase of up to 20% of the current payment. The second 20 allows a yearly lump sum payment of up to 20% of the original principal.
Example: $200,000 mortgage amortized for 25 years at 3.5%.
* Put a $2,000 lump sum each year on your principal and you’ll pay off your mortgage in 20 years and save $21,726 in interest.
* Or increase your monthly payment by $200 and you’ll pay off your mortgage in 19 years and save $23,937 in interest. If you can do both, all the better; you’ll save more and pay your mortgage off faster than you ever thought possible!
Where can you � nd pre-payment money? How about your tax refund or bonuses from work? If your income increases, consider increasing your mortgage payment. Pretend your income didn’t increase and maintain your usual lifestyle.
We are experts at providing the advice, education and resources that homebuyers need. Let us help you build a plan to take advantage of your lender’s prepayment privileges!

Q I’ve heard it’s time to lay M/S XP to rest.
A M/S is ceasing support of XP as of April 2014 - meaning anyone still running XP after this date is open to security vulner-abilities because M/S will no longer be patching it.
Q Won’t an anti-virus help protect my XP installation?
A No, an Anti-virus doesn’t fix security patches. Please consider an upgrade to Windows 7 to keep your computer secure.
Q How do I connect my laptop that only has S-video & VGA to my brand new high-end stereo that accepts S-Video input?
A S-video is your best option. Other than this there are adapters that will allow you to hook-up to an HDMI port.
Q I want you to retrieve my data on my damaged hard drive. What are you able to save?
A Pictures, Documents, email, music, anything but programs. Programs need to be re-installed.

Q I have a super-sensitive bladder and have to go very frequently. Is there a natural product that might help? Does it work for my husband who has enlarged prostate? A SagaPro® is a new herbal product labelled for bladder frequency. It is researched, tested, and developed in Iceland. It contains a herb called Angelica Archangelica. The leaves of this plant contain an active ingredient called isoquercitrin which decreases bladder wall irritability and lessens contractility thus increasing bladder capacity. SagaPro® works for both men and women with or without other bladder conditions. Benefits can be felt in as little as 10 days after use. No side effect has been noted during clinical trials.

Bans from entering U.S. under legal challengeBy Jeff NagelA provision that lets
American border guards arbitrarily bar Canadians from entering the U.S. for at least five years is under fire from B.C. business leaders who see it as a major threat to cross-border enterprise.
The B.C. Chamber of Commerce has joined a lawsuit filed in the U.S. that aims to quash the so-called “expedited removal” process.
Typically, B.C. resi-dents barred from entry under the provision have been deemed by U.S. border staff to have lied under questioning about the reason for their visit.
“It seems like it’s pretty arbitrary in its applica-tion,” said Bellingham immigration lawyer Greg Boos, who has filed a submission in a U.S. court on behalf of the B.C. chamber, the What-com County chamber and other stakeholders.
Expedited removal consists of an automatic ban on entering the U.S. for either five years or for life and there’s no avenue for appeal to the courts.
Boos said B.C. busi-
nesses with key staffers who service equipment they’ve sold to American clients have been barred, causing chaos for the affected firms.
“If it was applied to the CEO of a B.C. company doing business in the United States, it would be disastrous for that company,” he said.
Boos said bans on B.C. residents through the provision have been sporadic so far, but there have been signs its use will grow.
Some “hard core” bor-der guards use it more than others, he said, and one in Blaine boasted about denying more Canadians entry than any other staffer.
“This has a chilling effect on cross-border trade and commerce,” Boos said, adding it’s open to abuse and dis-crimination.
He’s confident the legal challenge should succeed because the U.S. enabling regulations indicate Canadian non-immigrants aren’t to be subjected to expedited removal.
The only problem, he
said, is persuading the U.S. ninth circuit court of appeals that it has the jurisdiction to rule that border staff are overstep-ping their powers.
Oral arguments were held last week but a rul-ing isn’t expected for six to nine months.
Blaine lawyer Len Saunders said he’s seen perhaps one in 100 bans reversed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) staff at the post where it was imposed, but beyond that recourse is virtually impossible.
“The CPB officer is judge, jury and hang-man,” Saunders said.
He’s seen a case where a B.C. resident with cop-ies of his resume in his vehicle was barred after guards decided he was looking for work rather than vacationing.
“Usually it happens because they think the person is coming down to do something other than what they claim.”
Saunders recounts another case involving a retired Abbotsford church minister who was regularly cross-
ing the border to go to Lyndon to cover for the local minister for three weeks.
The first two times he merely said he was visiting the church when asked his reason for coming to the U.S.
The third time he said he was covering for the colleague.
Although the minis-ter was being paid only a small per diem and didn’t consider himself to be working in the U.S., CPB officers decided he’d lied to them the previous two trips and banned him for five years.
“If they can give an expedited removal to a minister from Abbots-ford, they can give one to anyone,” Saunders said.
A higher profile victim was Chad Rook, a Vancouver actor.
He was slapped with a five-year ban after a nine-hour interrogation at the Peace Arch border crossing.
Rook was on his way to Los Angeles to meet entertainment industry contacts and to visit friends and vacation. He initially neglected to
mention the business side of his trip and was accused of changing his story and trying to il-legally work in the U.S.
“This draconian re-gime flies in the face of open borders and Canada’s long-standing friendship and trad-
ing relationship with our neighbours to the south,” B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter said.

Have you ever found yourself waiting in traf� c, feeling impatient as you worry about keeping a particular time commitment, or simply wishing to keep moving? The summer months can be an especially busy and slow time on the road with construction crews building, expanding, and mending the byways and with vacationers � lling up the lanes. We mutter, “Why now of all days?” or “Get a move-on!” When I � nd myself stuck in such traf� c, warning words from my mother echo in my head: “Better to be patient on the road than a patient in the hospital.” These words do help, somewhat.
On an especially late start one day last week, I was in such a predicament. Traf� c was stalled and there was no alternate route to work. I just had to accept that this was how it was going to be. While I was silently fuming, a well-known Bible verse came to mind: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). These words im-part such truth, instilling feelings of calm, trust, and care – even in the most insigni� cant of life’s circumstances.
I realized that I had no control over the situation – no amount of fussing could � x it. I was required to trust and wait on others to solve the problem and simply prepare to be late with an altered schedule. Times will come when impatience will rear its head. Learning patience is an ongoing life-lesson, but I also trust that God sustains control over his creation. He loves his people and looks out for their good, even through the most mun-dane of moments. When we sit back and “be still,” we can receive a sense of peace that transcends understanding in the knowledge that his will and purpose is above our own. By Tamara Van Dyke
