Marketplace IGA to close

By Jennifer LangTh e MarketPlace IGA in Clover-

dale will be closing its doors next month, aff ecting 35 workers, but a replacement anchor tenant could be announced as soon as this week.

Customers are “shocked and won-dering what’s going to happen here,” store manager and franchisee Ron Day said.

Staff learned Jan. 2 the store will close at at the end of February.

“We’re still in a little bit of shock,” he said.

Day will retire aft er 46 years in the grocery business; the last 19 in Cloverdale.

He said he is focusing on trying to help staff fi nd new jobs in retail in the area.

“It’s important to me that I fi nd jobs for my staff .”

Many have worked at the grocery store for a years; two since the be-ginning. “It’s a tight-knit group.”

It’s possible a diff erent grocery store could move into the 17710 56 Avenue location, but there’s been no concrete information on what may happen next, Day said.

“For the consumers of Cloverdale, I hope it all works out well.”

MarketPlace IGA is the anchor tenant of Clover Square Village, a shopping centre owned by Clover Square Holdings, a holding compa-ny of Standard Life Insurance.

“Th ere will be a replacement,” said Barry Holmes, the property manager for Colliers International. “I’m not at liberty to discuss it right now.”

He said an announcement is im-minent, but couldn’t yet reveal who the new anchor merchant will be.

As news of the closure spread, so did concern of a gap in service for residents in the historic town centre.

Th e nearest full-service grocery store is at Cloverdale Crossing at 64 Avenue and 176 Street.

“If they don’t have a replacement lined up, it’s going to be especially hard on seniors and others living downtown who don’t have cars,” said area resident Patrick Sharkey. “Where are they going to shop?”

Downtown Cloverdale lost a cor-ner grocery – Cloverdale Market at 58 Ave. and 176 St. – a couple of years ago. Long-time residents still lament the closure of the Safeway in the former Cloverdale Shopping Plaza mall.

Off -duty Mountie saves toddler trapped in fi reBy Jennifer LangThe bravery, courage, and quick

response of an off-duty Surrey RCMP officer is credited with saving the life of a two-year-old girl from a burning house in Clayton Heights last week.

Surrey RCMP dog handler Sgt. Derek King was out for a walk Jan. 8, when he saw smoke and flames erupting from a home in the 19000

block of 71 Avenue in Surrey.King immediately began knocking on the front door of

the home, where the toddler’s grandmother was able to tell him the little girl was trapped inside.

King wasn’t wearing any protective gear, but that didn’t stop him from conducting a search for the girl.

Her cries for help enabled him to find his way through the smoke to the room. He was able to scoop her up and bring her outside to safety.

“It’s clear that this incident would have had a very tragic outcome,” Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said. “But thanks

to Sgt. King’s bravery, he saved a young child from serious injury or worse.”

The toddler and grandmother were taken to Langley Memorial Hospital, where they were treated for smoke inhalation.

The fire damaged a house and coach house. Crews arrived to find the back sides of both buildings

on fire, necessitating a second alarm for additional fire-fighters.

The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but does not appear to be suspicious, Garis said.Sgt. Derek King

Wintery drive showcases the heart of harness racingCHERIE PASKARUK PHOTO

A picture capturing a serene winter’s jog around the track at Fraser Downs in Cloverdale is featured in a new calendar showcasing the sport of harness racing in Canada. Cherie Paskaruk’s photograph of trainer Sandra Roberts and her racehorse, Alverna, setting out across a blanket of snow last February was chosen for the 2015 edition of the Heart of Harness Racing calendar. The image adorns the month of January. The 23-year-old trainer is one of two media award fi nalists in the upcoming national Standardbred racing awards. Paskaruk will be fl ying to Toronto for the Feb. 7 event, thanks to support from colleagues at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, where she’s been involved in harness racing since the age of 15. She’s currently training two mares, Cowgirls Poetry and Fast Lane Ferrari. Meanwhile, Fraser Downs driver Bill Davis is a fi nalist for an O’Brien Award for Horsemanship at the national Standardbred awards, honouring Canada’s best in harness racing.

Opinions & Letters

CCNAMember

Harper’s silence is Liberal goldJustin Trudeau may have found a cam-

paign direction that could help him seal the deal with enough voters to win power in next October’s federal election.

He has taken direct aim at the prime min-ister’s penchant for secrecy, the apparent muzzling of cabinet ministers, MPs and bu-reaucrats, and what Trudeau terms “message control.”

While partisan voices have railed against it for years, even people who otherwise have few issues with the Conservative government are not happy with the current fl ow of infor-mation – which seems to have a uniformly manufactured, stage-managed and mani-cured quality.

Other than taxpayer-paid image ads which sing the praises of “the Harper government,” actual information from MPs and civil ser-vants is oft en sparse. And while some Con-

servative MPs have a reputation for being open and accessible to citizens and local me-dia, many more do not.

Our own local representa-tive, Russ Hiebert, has had little to say to local voters since an-nouncing he would not seek re-election this year. His public comments have been largely confi ned other than defending his own controversial private members’ bill calling for full disclosure of unions’ fi nancial dealings, celebrating emergency aid to refu-gees in Iraq, and championing the party line on income-splitting for tax purposes.

For many cabinet ministers in the Harper government a press conference on any topic is a rarity – the exception rather than the rule.

Harper himself is almost permanently un-available to the media. He makes a few ap-

pearances, such as a recent year-end inter-view on CBC, but he never answers questions

in an impromptu fashion.When he appeared at a fund-

raiser in neighbouring Langley in the summer, he did not say one word to any media person, na-tional, regional or local. Even sup-porters who wished to talk to him had to stand in a lengthy lineup.

Prime ministers don’t have to be your friends. But they do have to be accountable, and that includes saying something that isn’t scripted, at least once in a while.

Like Bard the Bowman in Th e Hobbit, Trudeau has taken aim at this weak spot in the dragon’s scales, and it may ultimately score enough votes for him to at least win a minority government.

Two-peat for team EllisContributedIn the fi rst Master’s Curling Bonspiel of 2015, the

Bill Ellis rink from Chilliwack repeated their 2014 record, winning the event for the second straight time. Closely tied for second place were the Charlie Lindsay team from Abbotsford and the Jack Finn-bogason foursome from Langley.

Twenty-four teams from North Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Richmond, Tsawwassen, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack, including fi ve from Cloverdale, competed in the three-day bonspiel, fi nishing on Wednesday, Jan. 7. Th e Cliff Hodson foursome cap-tured honours for the best local entry.

Th e annual event is hosted by the Cloverdale Master’s Curling Club and entry is limited to men over 60 years of age. Th e teams are made up on a random draw from local members. Don England, once again, acted as chairman and commented, “Good curling, good food and good fellowship.”

Owner/trainer Bill Young (84 years young) just keeps churning out the win-ners at Fraser Downs.

Bill won with both of his horses on Fri-day (Jan. 9). Th e interesting spin on this happening is one horse, Double Terror, was getting to the winners circle for the fi rst time in his life and the other horse, Prairie Illusion, won for the 24th time when she beat the best fi llies and mares at Fraser Downs.

Sunday aft ernoon was very interesting. Delite Debettor paid $74.20 to win and $154.10 to place while Th edeadliestcatch paid $49.90 to win. When handicapping and trying to pick winners there are some who play an angle and they probably made some money.

Th ree winners on Sunday were racingfor new trainers: Th edeadliestcatch,

Cowboy Caper and Whiteliesnpromises, which can mean maybe some horses get bored or tired of the same surroundings and routine and just a change of scenery can make a diff erence. Keep an eye out for this angle, as it is noted in the program.

Congratulations to Nicho-las McLean on scoring his fi rst training victory with Marlin Hanover. Nicholas owns Marlin with friend Don Ross.

I would like to thank editor Jennifer Lang for allowing me to contribute articles to the Cloverdale Reporter and the great support she has given to Standardbred racing.

I am leaving B.C., as I have taken a po-

sition at a new track just north of Calgary. Over the past few months I have tried

to shed some light on the great sport of harness racing and draw your attention to the hard-working people of the backstretch and in par-ticular the smaller stables.

I am saddened when I hear stories like the Cloverdale IGA closing. Racing, too, is a big part of Cloverdale. It must survive! Th anks, Jennifer.

Work experience provides many benefi ts; giving you skills and experience that will allow you to stand out to potential employers as well as helping you choose the right sector to work in.

The B.C. government supports many exciting projects through what’s called the Community and Employer Partnerships fund, which is part of the Employment Program of BC. To date approximately 500 job seekers have benefi ted from work experience and 130 projects have been funded throughout the province.

One of the streams of these partnerships, commonly called CEPs, is Job Creation Partnerships.

These partnerships provide training and work experience to unemployed British Columbians so they can get a job, while also benefi tting communities by proving funding to local projects.

People have gained work experience in areas as diverse as event planning, honed construction skills by restoring an historic train station, worked in horticulture, and outdoor trails expansions

and maintenance. All of these projects give unemployed British Columbians work experience that they can use to fi nd full-time,

permanent employment.

The other three stream of CEP funding are:• Labour Market Partnerships• Project-Based labour Market Training and• Research and Innovation

Labour Market Partnerships fund projects to support employers and assist communities develop ways to deal with local workforce needs.

Project-Based Labour Market Training helps groups of people — such as people who have received layoff notices — with on or off-the-job employment training.

Research and Innovation encourages progressive research to fi nd better ways of helping people fi nd work as quickly as possible using untried and untested methods.

To fi nd out more please visit the Work BC website at http://www.workbc.ca/Job-Seekers/Employment-Services/Community-Employer-Partnerships.aspx

Like every other organization, the business community in Cloverdale needs to grow in order to thrive. Unfortunately, this is not yet happening. The city has no plans to densify the downtown or to facilitate the building of a Trade-X complex to attract customers, and the Transit Authority has no plans to bring high-speed rail into Cloverdale.

The result of no growth is decay. Downtown Cloverdale looks tired, the gateway to Cloverdale is an abandoned construction site, and many of the residents of Cloverdale shop at Willoughbrook or Guildford. Other than hosting our famous rodeo, Cloverdale has no defi nable image. It is neither the ‘Fort Langley’ of Surrey, nor is it a special heritage destination.

As your new president of the Chamber of Commerce, my mandate is to work toward making Cloverdale a prosperous community,

with a distinct identifi able character. In year 2000, I started Honeybee Centre at the corner of 176 street and Fraser Highway.

My company is the primary supplier of honeybees to blueberry farmers in the lower mainland, and we sell many varieties of honey in our country store. Although I am a second generation beekeeper, I have enjoyed a wonderful 16-year career in policing, both with the Burnaby RCMP and the New Westminster Police Department.

There are ten other highly-competent business leaders in the Cloverdale Chamber Board of Directors,

and we are all keen on working toward a better Cloverdale. Our goals for 2015 and beyond are to continue working with the City and the Province to improve the business community, and to facilitate many networking events for our membership so that their businesses will continue to grow and thrive.2 1

$$$$$ $$$$$

Have you ever wondered what it takes to elevate your fi nancial situation to the next level? Committing to a plan with sacrifi ce and determination in order to improve your fi nancial situation is a lot like committing to a process of quitting smoking or losing weight. The fi rst step is facing your fears, admitting your current situation and fi nding what your “all in” number is with this process. Maybe it is budget changes like giving up going out for lunch each day and bringing the brown bag instead, or, making a family sacrifi ce of giving up cable for a year. Remember, it needs to be a realistic sacrifi ce or your goal will not be attainable. My family nixed the cable idea, but cut back on eating out: we now eat out only once per week. Your “all in” commitment to achieve that extra savings may be what it takes to have the funds available to top-up your RRSP, TFSA, RESP or, take your dream vacation next Christmas. Take advantage of monthly pre-authorized savings plans to get the funds where they need to be so you are not tempted to go off your savings path. We all know that by breaking down a goal into parts and focusing on simple steps, the overall goal will appear less daunting. The fear factor is over-taken by the feeling of success once you make it past the initial 30 days. More than half the battle is to know what you are afraid of, and deciding to commit to overcoming those fears. It’s a new year; let’s challenge ourselves to make it the best ever.

Our Top Ten Mortgage Tips for 2015 Feisal Panjwani, AMP and Shimona Pinto, AMP | Your Mortgage Experts | www.YourMortgageExperts.ca | 604.576.1412

This new year, take control of your fi nancial future by thinking smart about your mortgage. Here are our 10 tips to help you do just that!1. Get a mortgage checkup. That’s right. Every year... no matter where you are in your mortgage. You get a checkup for your car to keep it running smoothly for the long-term. Your fi nancial future deserves the same kind of attention.2. Deal with the holiday hangover. Many Canadians can go a little overboard fi nancially during the holiday season. If your credit card balance is more than you can pay off in the next few months - and especially if you have other loans - then do yourself a favour and come in to chat. The right debt consolidation strategy could save you thousands and put you on the right fi nancial path.3. Speed up your mortgage paydown. Try to fi nd a way to use your prepayment privileges this year... at least once. Tax refund, fi nancial gift, small inheritance... or just a little extra disciplined savings. Every single payment you make after that will go further. And instead of paying your mortgage monthly, pay weekly or bi-weekly. That small change can save you thousands.4. Renew with your eyes open. When your lender sends out a letter suggesting you renew your mortgage at their current off er, get advice. Don’t renew with your eyes closed! This is your opportunity to negotiate the best possible deal!5. Cramped? You could renovate, not relocate. Maybe you think this is the year you need to move up. Maybe. But the right renovation - an addition, a new family room, a fresh kitchen - might be all it takes to turn the house you’re in, into the home of your dreams. It is almost always less expensive to renovate than to relocate! We have great renovation fi nancing options if that’s what’s in your future this year!6. Take care of your credit. It’s so important to have good credit behaviours so you always qualify for the

best mortgage rate. Pay your bills on time. Don’t let your credit accounts exceed 30% of the credit available. Before you cancel any credit cards, get advice. And don’t apply for a store card just to save on your purchase that day! 7. Choose low-interest debt. Whatever your need might be - funding education, a large purchase, investments, renovations, or paying down debt, your mortgage might be your most cost-eff ective fi nancing option.8. Don’t leave money on the table if you bought last year. If you bought your fi rst home in 2014, you may be able to take advantage of the $5,000 non-refundable Home Buyers Tax Credit amount, which provides up to $750 in federal tax relief. Not sure if you qualify, ask!9. Talk to us if you are going through a separation or divorce. Your home can be the asset that gives you both a fresh start. And if one of you wants to keep the marital home, we have some great mortgage options!10. Build a fi nancial cushion. Your high-interest credit card should not be your emergency fund. This year, build a fi nancial cushion: get in the habit of putting a small sum from every pay cheque into a special emergency fund.

Empower your fi nances in 3 simple stepsMegan Battersby, Communications Specialist, G&F Financial Group

There are two things you can count on in January in the Lower Mainland: rain, and the beginning of RRSP season. Although nobody has control over the weather, RRSPs and retirement planning are another matter. While it is wise to take advantage of the RRSP contribution deadline for tax consequences, the deadline also serves as an important reminder to reassess your fi nancial situation, and see if you are on track towards a secure retirement (New Year’s resolution anyone?). The time is right to empower your fi nancial future! G&F Financial Group’s accredited experts suggest these simple steps to ensure a secure retirement:

1) (Re)Assess your fi nances How much do you spend a month? Are you spending more than you earn? What percentage of your income are you saving per month? Surprisingly few of us can accurately answer these questions, and knowing these answers are the fi rst step towards achieving your retirement goals. If you don’t know your cash fl ow, then how can you improve your money management? Action: Review your monthly statements, credit card bills, and manually track your spending for a month to gain a clear picture of exactly where your money is going. There’s an app for that! Consider using an app to easily record and catalogue your cash fl ow.

2) Create a planIt’s time to take charge! Now that you have a good fi nancial snapshot, create a customized plan to help you get to where you want to be. Seek advice from an accredited professional. You wouldn’t let just anybody work on your car or home, so fi nd a trusted advisor to help plan your fi nancial future. Credit Unions are an excellent option as they are member owned and have your best interests at heart. Action: Meet with an accredited fi nance expert to develop a fi nancial plan. Visit gff g.com/hero to book your unique Smart Money PlanTM. 3) Automate your contributionsOnce you have a plan, take action to achieve your goals! Consider setting up automatic deductions directly into a registered plan. Your advisor will

help you determine whether an RRSP or TFSA (or both!) is best for you, and what contributions and investment vehicles make sense. Action: Take advantage of registered plans, featured term deposits and other products, and setup automatic contributions to these plans. Did you know that as little as $25 a month can get you started towards a secure retirement? A small start can lead to big things over time.

After following these steps, you should be well on your way to a secure retirement. Congratulate yourself for taking charge and becoming your own fi nancial hero! Don’t forget, the 2014 RRSP deadline is Monday March 2, 2015.

At G&F Financial Group, we focus on educating and empowering others to plan, prepare, and dream bigger. It is our priority to ensure that you gain the fi nancial clarity and direction you need to achieve you fi nancial goals. We off er seminars and advice on a variety of topics to help educate and make a diff erence in your fi nancial lives. Visit gff g.com/events to fi nd an event near you.

Th e curtain rises tonight on Langley Players’ latest production, Self-Help, a comedy by Norm Foster, one of Canada’s most prolifi c play-wrights.Self-Help is the story of a mar-

ried couple – both second-rate actors – who re-invent themselves as nationally-renowned self-help gu-rus. Th eir lives unravel as they try to conceal a body and hold onto their fame. It’s described as a clever and fun look at the self-help industry and what this particular couple will do to stay on top.

“It’s been a real treat to direct a group of actors who have such a strong commitment to their craft and [are possessed of] such enor-

mous comedic talent,” says director Mary Renvall.

Th e play is produced by Dave Williams. Self-Help runs Th ursdays to Sun-

days Jan. 15 to Feb. 14 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 Street, Brook-swood.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Th ursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sundays.
