Locals voice concerns over The Bristol Issues with parking, rentals and design

By Lauren Collins Last Tuesday, Townline had another update on their project The Bristol, but the reaction from business owners was less than stellar.

People at the Cloverdale Business 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.

The Bristol (5738 175 Street) is set to break ground in April as long as the building permit goes through. The mixed-use four-storey building will have space for retail on the bottom and three floors of rental units. There will be about 90 one- and two-bedroom units available to rent.

While she understands the need to bring in more people to Cloverdale, Madsen said the first thing people look for is a safe place to park their cars.

“Nobody will come.”

Kathi Nicholson echoed her concerns as well.

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.”

Paul Orazietti, the BIA’s executive director, tried to ease people’s worries by explaining that the City of Surrey was working on a plan for adding more parking into Cloverdale.

He added that so far, the city has

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

With roughly 90 units in The 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.

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

Moore added, “In terms of parking, we’re really confident that we’re going to provide that adequate 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 possible that this idea can be put forward when you know already you don’t have the ability to provide. It

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.”

“The city over the years, has put a great deal of money and effort in promoting the cultural aspects of Cloverdale,” she said. “Then in the same breath, they are approving a building that looks like just about four boxes smashed together and painted different colours with absolutely no interesting architectural 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.

Then the proposals will have public input and go through a first 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.”

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

Public hearing for The 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 within 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 development application was also reviewed at the Advisory Design Panel, a committee comprised of industry professionals from a variety of fields. Any feedback was implemented into Townline’s final design which was approved at city council.

Concerns over rental units Since 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 younger families with combined incomes around the $90,000 range.

“The 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.

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

Update of building As for the rest of the construction, Moore said Townline is up-to-date.

Approval on the development proposal was approved on Feb. 22, and now all they’re waiting on is their building permit which was submitted in October.

“There’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 office is starting to get excited.”

Townline is anticipating excavation for April 1 and then a 15 to 16 month build-out with should be finished 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.

The Bristol will be a four-storey mixed-use building. The ground-level will be retail and the top three floors will be rental units.

New board members, changes to budget

The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association held its Annual General Meeting Feb. 23 at the Surrey Museum

By Lauren Collins There are a few new people on the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association’s board of directors as of last Tuesday night.

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

The Reporter previously reported that there would be no floor 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, floor nominations were allowed resulting in an additional three nominations to the 10 nominations previously vetted by the BIA and the city.

The BIA can operate with up to 15 directors without having to do an election.

The returning board of directors are: Steve Bednash (Clover 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 Paterson (New Mac Animal Feed), Kent Archibald (Firearm Training Centre) and Tricia Ellingsen (Tricia’s Gems), who was nominated from the floor.

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 floor.

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

Executive director, Paul Orazietti said the BIA has estimated conservatively for the approved 2016 budget. The BIA is also trying to be more transparent with their budgets.

In previous years, the association has gone over budget.

“The 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.

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

The levy, which increased by $5,000 from last year, is accompanied 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 corner of Highway 10 and Highway 15. The 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 fiveyear 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-

Dogs responding well Seized dogs from Langley puppy mill under quarantine for ring worm

By Monique Tamminga The 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 officer for the BC SPCA. “Some of the dogs require further emotional support and will be with us longer.”

The dogs were seized from a Langley breeder in early February.

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

The 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 suffer like this,” said Moriarty.

The breeders had been on the SPCA radar for a num-

Spills and spatters happen, regardless of how careful you are. All it takes is a drop cloth in your work area to prevent consequences. Canvas drop cloths are much better than plastic. Plastic drop cloths are slippery to walk on or set a ladder on and don’t stay in place. Even worse, paint spills on plastic stay wet, and they can end up on your shoes and get tracked through the house.

-The budget allocates $37,000 for beautification, 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 features, 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 -The Economic Development Committee has increased its budget to $5,000 from $3,500 last year.

-The budget for promotions and special events is down to $40,516. The Cloverdale Blueberry Festival and the Halloween 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.

-The Safety, Security and Crime Prevention Committee is being given $7,500 for graffiti removal and clean-up program and mobile HD cameras to promote more information sharing and enhance security for businesses.

-And $113,000 will be set aside for administration and office expenses.

Movie taxs breaks under scrutiny B.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.

“The 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.”

The review is to take place within the next two months, including consultation with B.C. production companies. B.C. offers a refundable tax credit for one third of labour costs for movies, TV and digital media production.

The current box-office hit Deadpool - which filmed in Surrey - is the latest of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series to be filmed in B.C. An earlier movie in the series was lured to Montreal by generous tax incentives, 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 Hollywood. De Jong said in 2013 that Canadian provinces are “being played” by producers looking to increase tax breaks by threatening to go elsewhere.

“These 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 Moriarty.

The SPCA is still waiting for all the reports from the veterinarian who has been looking after the seized dogs.

Those 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.

The B.C. government has announced new regulations are coming to require dog and cat breeders to meet national standards for their care.

Expected to take effect 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.

Tom Fletcher

By Tom Fletcher The B.C. Liberal government made a big show of selectively easing Medical Services Plan fees in its budget for the coming election year.

In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest beneficiaries are single parents. The 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 singles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for discounts, the rate is going up another four per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017.

MSP revenue covers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vital signal to people that health care isn’t free.

This 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 hefty payroll tax, creating one more obstacle for businesses to hire fulltime staff with benefits.

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

because their employer is losing money.

Also note that politicians and public sector employees have never paid MSP premiums.

Their employers, taxpayers, 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 Canada, 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. Their employer stops paying, and the slow-moving bureaucracy charges them based on their income from the previous year.

There was a fuss in 2004 after the B.C. Liberals contracted out MSP

administration to a Virginia-based back-office specialist, delightfully named Maximus Corporation.

Now Maximus goes after delinquent MSP accounts with collection agency tactics, and attempts to keep up with the comings and goings from other provinces and countries.

Opposition parties decry the continued inequity of the MSP premium system, which charges the same for a single person making $45,000 or $450,000 a year.

NDP leader John Horgan rails about inequality and accuses Clark of using MSP revenues to establish her prosperity “slush fund,” but he stops short of calling for the elimination of MSP premiums.

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 because workers for this unnecessary Maximus machine remain members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver has it right.

He staged a popular petition drive to roll MSP premiums into income tax. If the government wants to send a message, it can interrupt its continuous “Jobs Plan” advertising.

Scrapping MSP and raising income tax rates on higher brackets to compensate would fix 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.

By Sheila Reynolds With the start of construction 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 Secondary, destined for a site on 184 Street near 73 Avenue, isn’t expected to be ready to open until fall 2018, but the Surrey School District is beginning the process of defining boundaries and catchment areas.

The new high school will impact both Lord Tweedsmuir and Clayton Heights secondary schools, which are both over capacity. For example, students currently in Lord Tweedsmuir’s catchment may be diverted to Clayton Heights, while some destined for Clayton Heights might be switched to the new school.

The possible boundary changes could also have implications for the elementary schools nearby, in that children in those schools could feed into different high schools than they currently do.

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

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

This month and next, the district plans look at the options, issues and challenges of the changes and hopes to post information and process on PlaceSpeak, an online discussion group.

In the months following, consultation will begin, through public meetings, as well as PlaceSpeak and that

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 principal. 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 five to seven used wireless mics and walked around the stage.

We’ve upgraded our Greater Vancouver network.

BC Hydro applied Friday for an electricity rate increase of four per cent, starting April 1.

The utility said that would mean an extra four dollars 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 fiscal year because they need more time to update 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 10year 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 decades.

Cloverdale crime relatively low: RCMP Prolific offenders targeted, working with bylaws, fire department and property owners

By Lauren Collins Crime 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 benefit, 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 prolific offenders or problem residents.

By working with bylaws, the fire department and property owners, Shorey said the RCMP has engaged about six or seven problem properties.

“They tend to harbour criminals and criminal activity. So that’s a big focus for us. We’re very pleased with that. We’ve had some solid arrests. We’re seeing numbers.”

The 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 enters] are on the fall. We’re going to continue here.”

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

“There are multiple teams engaged with it right

“It’s a community policing office. We invite the community to come and participate in that...”

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

Shorey, who took over the role of Community Response Unit Sergeant after Sgt. Dan Gibbons retired in January, said he’s been going around to businesses and introducing himself to the community.

“You all know where the community policing office is. It is a community policing office. We invite the community to come and participate in that.”

Foreign buyers lured by loopholes While 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 transfer 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 unaffordable home prices, it can still be avoided by offshore investors buying up downtown Vancouver office towers like the Bentall Centre and Royal Centre.

“There 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.

The 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 action.

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

Former-BIA president Lyle MacMillan receives award at AGM

By Lauren Collins At the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association’s Annual General Meeting on Feb. 23, previous BIA president Lyle MacMillan was given the Community Pillar Award.

City councillor Dave Woods presented MacMillan with the award.

“If ever there should be somebody recognized in the community - it’s Lyle MacMillan,” Woods said.

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

He served as BIA president until 2014.

“The BIA didn’t exist until 1995 and, of course, Lyle played a huge part of it right from the word go,” Woods said.

As MacMillan accepted the Community Pillar 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 downtown Cloverdale.

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

Over the years, he has been a part of the Cloverdale Board of Trade, the Cloverdale BIA, the Surrey Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club of Surrey, the Cloverdale Legion and a former-president of the Surrey Memorial Hospital 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

Compost product aims to reduce odours Surrey-based entrepreneurs hope to ‘take mess and stink out of composting’ with their locally-sourced product

By Lauren Collins A Surrey-based company is trying to reduce odour, moisture and pest issues with their new composting

product.

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

The Cloverdale London Drugs (17685 64 Avenue) 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 development on the product in 2014 when he was a

_ 3 annual COOK-OFF rd

CHILI

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. The 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 find out eventually.

Compy eliminates odours at the source by reacting at the molecular 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.

That carbon to nitrogen ratio is important for healthy soil.”

This helps to create better soil in the long run.

Q:

taken blood test or ECG are still complaining of pains even though they show their health including the heart is fine.

Q: What do you do about kids that want 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 Karen Bennett 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).

DENTIST

Q: Why do I need a crown?

A: 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, Dr. Parveen Atwal protecting it from further damage. You may need a crown if you have had a root canal, a very large filling or a broken tooth. Crowns can also be used to cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth. A tooth that has been fixed 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.

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.

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).

Freestyle skaters are wanted to compete in the World Freestyle Round-Up May 20 to 23 at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

The event takes pace in the Cloverdale Curling Rink (6150 176 Street) located on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

Each day there are several shows featuring freestyle demos and contests, using a battle format.

There will be prize money and trophies won in four specialty events.

All freestyle skaters wishing to compete must fill out a registration form found on www.theworldroundup.com.

This is my most asked

A: question. Realtors do

not make the market, we Edith Katronis 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 Feisal Panjwani, AMP 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.

Take a book, leave a book, read a book Little free library to be built in North Cloverdale West neighbourhood this month

By Lauren Collins A community in Cloverdale will be getting a little free library later this month.

The little free library will be located in Provinceton Park (180 Street and 70 Avenue).

Cloverdale resident Shahee Lakhani got the idea after seeing a post on Facebook from Village Surrey about the community library.

Village Surrey had a library al-

ready built and they were offering it to anyone who already had a location in mind, Lakhani said.

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

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

This new little free library is one of several in the city. This one is being sponsored by the Rotary Club

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.”

The Surrey Library will give the first set of SHAHEE LAKHANI PHOTO books and will Construction for the little free library is set to start this week continue to give more as they get in Provinceton Park (180 Street and 70 Avenue). more inventory spring break starts, which is March or duplicate books.

of Cloverdale.

According to the Surrey Libraries’ website, little free libraries “promote literacy, love of reading and help build a sense of community.”

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

“We are hoping that with a lot of foot traffic - because of the young families here - that people will use the little library.”

“Because a lot of parents sit here and the kids are playing 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 after the library with some help from others. She’ll be making sure

Walk raises thousands for homeless

sm

The Coldest Night of the Year walk raised more than last year

By Lauren Collins More than $50,000 were raised at the Coldest Night of the Year walk on Feb. 20.

The annual walk is meant to raise money to help the homeless or those in need.

This year, the money raised is going toward food for the Pacific Community Church’s community kitchen and furnishing the new Bill Reid Memorial Shelter.

The money raised will be split evenly between the two.

There were more than 300 walkers and 60 volunteers this year.

There 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 coffee.

The event was sponsored by the Katronis Real Estate 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.

OBITUARIES

SANFORD D. Joyce June 29, 1932 – December 4, 2015 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beautiful spunky spirit after a short illness at Peace Arch hospital.

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

PENNY Francis

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.
