Fundraiser gets off on right paw TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

It was a Sunday morning out for Chewbacca, but for the dog’s adoptive family, a run/walk through the trails of Fort Langley meant so much more. Adam and Jodi Viljoen and their children, Talia, 10, and Luke, six, have welcomed the Australian shepherd/bearded collie cross into their home. “Talia and Luke love having a dog,” Adam said. The Viljoens along with their dog took part in the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) Furry Tails Foot Race at Derby Reach Regional Park. Chewbacca and his siblings were found abandoned in a box just after they were born, and were taken to

LAPS. Shortly after, passersby found a female dog that had just given birth. “They figured out it must have been the puppies’ mother so they reunited the mother with the puppies,” Adam said. He added, “Chewbacca was initially adopted by a family when he was eight weeks old, but they could no longer keep him so we adopted him when he was nine months old.” “We always wanted a dog and he is a perfect match for our family,” Jodi shared. “We really wanted a dog from LAPS because they really put an effort into matching dogs with their owners.” They and others helped make LAPS’ inaugural Furry Tails race a huge success, with 126 participants and

roughly 25 dogs traversing the trails, raising an estimated $8,000, all of which will go to support the roughly 1,500 animals that are cared for at the shelter each year. “This being the first annual race, we’re excited, we’re stoked,” said LAPS manager of animal welfare Jayne Nelson. LAPS executive director Sean Baker wasn’t able to make it to the event, but brought support – 20 family and friends. The Taxi Cats team collectively raised $1,370 for the cause. Janet Barrett from West Virginia raised more than $250 by doing laps around her home. Trophies were awarded for the top finishers. > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘LAPS’

The last of the 66 dogs seized from a Glen Valley puppy mill is about to be adopted into a home. “All but one of the Langley dogs are in their new adopted homes now,” said Lorie Chortyk, BCSPCA’s general manager of community relations. The final dog’s adoption is pending but the vet bills are still being added up. The BC SPCA expects the figure to run into the tens of thousands of dollars. The BC SPCA seized 66 dogs on Feb. 4, 32 adult animals and 34 puppies, from a Glen Valley property. Only days later, the SPCA also raided a boarding and breeding facility in the 19400 block of Colebrook Road, seizing 69 cats and 15 dogs. Both seizures were among the largest in the SPCA’s hist-

that are being used for breeding purposes,” said Jayne Nelson, LAPS manager of animal welfare. “Implementing standards like a Code of Practice for Canadian Kennel Operations will help educate and create public awareness around how good breeders house and care for their animals.” LAPS welcomed the province’s move. “We feel this is a very positive step forward,” Nelson said. “Establishing a standard of care is important and should ultimately help organizations that enforce animal welfare.” As for the pets seized in Langley, Chortyk said preparing reports for Crown counsel is time-consuming because there are so many animals in each case, each requiring vet reports and other paperwork. “Our cruelty investigations department expect to have their reports in to Crown counsel very shortly,” she said.

Officers in red serge gave a round of applause April 14 to their civilian volunteer partners. The 24th annual volunteer appreciation dinner was held at the Langley Golf Centre, where dozens of volunteers from Speed Watch, Block Watch, the Community Policing Offices and other groups were treated to a buffet dinner. As well, officers in dress uniforms thanked them for their service over the previous year. “Volunteering is not free,” said Staff Sgt. Dave Carr. “Every minute, every hour comes at a cost to you guys.” Supt. Murray Power, head

of the Langley RCMP, told the volunteers that they had earned the right to soak up the words of appreciation from local Mounties. The volunteers have shared in

challenges and adjustments this year as some programs changed, but they have adapted well. “Hold your heads high,” Power said. Both Langley mayors, Ted

Schaffer from the City and Jack Froese from the Township, also had words of praise for the volunteers. The evening finished with special thanks and bouquets of

flowers for some long-serving volunteers. More than a dozen volunteers were singled out for service that has lasted well over a decade, and in one case for 24 years.

Odd Thoughts

hen was the last time you had to coax your toaster oven out from under the bed during a thunderstorm? Have you ever tried to curl up on the couch with an ATV? Under the law, family pets are considered chattel or property, the same as any inanimate object. The laws have not kept up with changes in society, particularly when it comes to those who mistreat pets. People consider their pets part of the family. Now the province of B.C. has asked for public input in proposed changes to animal cruelty legislation. People have until May 20 to go online and take a survey through the Government of B.C. website. The province would incorporate into law the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association’s Codes of Practice. The two recent animal seizures, one in Langley’s Glen Valley and the other at 194th Street on the Surrey/Langley border, highlight the issues around animal welfare. These operations exist because people buy the animals they breed, and unfortunately people tend to fall for fads, which is not good for pets. Every individual who brings a pet into their lives takes on responsibilities of knowing proper feeding and care, and of obtaining vet care when appropriate. But before any of that, they need to care about where that animal came from, particularly since there are no-kill animal shelters all over the province filled with pets needing homes. Those who choose to breed or board animals take on even more responsibility. Will tougher laws in B.C. stop puppy mills and ensure safe, loving homes for all pets? No, but any laws have to have teeth. – H.C.

souls of those whose greatest crime has been the pollution of their own lungs and perhaps the diminishment of their own mental capacity. (Although, that latter point is not even scientifically certain, mostly because anti-pot paranoia stifled serious research, for fear that it might be discovered that all of the paranoia has been unfounded. That said, I should add that there are indications that pot does have a significant deleterious effect on developing brains, particularly in the teen years.) Until next year, our jails will continue to provide housing for newly minted criminals who will have to network with established prisoners to rebuild their pot connections – or settle for harder drugs if the grass dries up… so to speak. And what happens to all those criminals, the new and the old, when their crime evolves into an ordinary recreational experience? Read Matthew Claxton’s Painful Truth at LangleyAdvance.com

Letters to the editor

Praise for volunteers well deserved Dear Editor, I was privileged to attend the Township of Langley Awards evening on April 7. It was quite humbling to be in a room filled with so many dedicated volunteers. I would like to extend my congratulations to Kirsten Charlesworth (winner of the Eric Flowerdew Award), to Dave and Candace Johnson (winners of the John and Muriel Arnason award) and to William Karpan (winner of the Pete Swensson award). I would also like to congratulate all nominees. Each of you truly deserved this award and I congratulate and thank you all for your volunteerism.

Not only was I fortunate enough to attend this evening of recognition, I’ve also been on the nomination committee for the past few years. We are the team that sends out notification for nominations, then ensures that each nomination package sent in to us is complete. The nomination form is quite detailed because our volunteers are involved in so many activities and we don’t want to miss knowing about any of the things they do. It may seem overwhelming to put together a nomination package and that is why our group of volunteers exists – to assist with

nominations. For a nomination, we need a completed nomination form listing the volunteer activities, how long they’ve been doing them and two to three letters of support as well as newspaper clippings, if there are any. We recommend that if you know someone who you feel should be recognized, start documenting all the great things they do now, including how many hours a week they volunteer, what they do, and the number of years they’ve been doing it. Then when it’s time for the nominations, you’ll already have all the information we need. Kari Medos, Langley

Deal vital to making 16th Avenue safer

Dear Editor: I applaud the efforts of Councillor Charlie Fox in his quest to promote absolute safety for the 16th Avenue corridor. Having more traffic lights and larger pullouts for emergency vehicles cannot do anything but improve the 16th Avenue roadway, not just for the sake of those residents living in South Langley/ Aldergrove but also for those people who travel the road on a regular basis. Now the funding issue – that indeed is a concern. Langley Township without the benefit of a multi-million dollar windfall in casino revenues cannot possibly afford all of the major necessary improvements needed immediately. (I believe Richmond, Burnaby, and Coquitlam receive over $10 million a years, whilst Langley City around $6 million/ year, none of which goes to Township of Langley residents.) I believe, and I have spoken with Councillor

Charlie Fox about this, that having the 16th Avenue corridor from Surrey all the way out to Abbotsford taken over by the Province of British Columbia, as part of the provincial highways network would be a win-win solution for all parties involved. How could this be accomplished? Sit down with all parties: City of Surrey, Langley Township, City of

Abbotsford, Ministers Rich Coleman and Mary Polak, and work out a deal. Establish a fully functional working committee, set timelines, include the public, and get it done. There are at least three mayor highways running through Surrey, Langley, and Abbotsford. There are four border crossings. MPs are suggesting that Aldergrove be opened 24 hours.

New interchanges are coming to Langley and Abbotsford, and people are moving out to the Valley in droves. Safety is of paramount importance in the equation. We owe it to the folks who live within that corridor – and those who travel that corridor on a regular basis. The time for action on 16th Avenue is now. Steve Ferguson and family, South Langley

Neighbourhood cats cause conundrum Dear Editor, It is that time again, when LAPS is looking for dog licence canvassers. Apparently “licences are the best way to get lost dogs home and part of the revenue collected is retained by LAPS to care for animals in its shelter.” Its shelter includes all animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. We have a constant problem with cats in our neighborhood. They are at-large at all times, defecate and urinate on our property, they mate including noise effects at all hours of the night, and we have had two litters born under our backyard deck. I have had to remove the cats and litters myself as LAPS does not provide this service for cats. If this was my dog, I would have

had complaints and fines. I have inquired as to why cats are not licensed and have been told that it has been brought to council more than once over the years and a bylaw has not been passed. With the number of roaming neighbourhood cats and feral cats in Langley, I would think hiring one or two employees to have cats licensed would bring in more than their salary financially, with the amount of cat licences that would be purchased. I refuse to licence my dog and have been told that I will be fined hundreds of dollars until the licence is purchased. Maybe I should have my neighborhood cats take up a collection for my fines. P. Shields, Langley

EDUCATION

Life is rough on Langley streets

Homeless teens often hidden

…continued from A10

“The 362 are coming in contact with us,” Holland said. “They’re either coming into our office, or we’re running into them in the community and we’re talking and working with them enough that we’ll do an intake package.” The faces of the local homeless is constantly in flux. “There are some people we’ve seen consistently through the years,” Holland said. “And there’s always brand-new people.” Holland paused reflectively when asked if it’s hard not to take his job home with him. “For me, there’s always a piece that worries, that always has that in consideration,” he said. The profile of homelessness is changing, from an alarmingly high number of seniors to young people. There were 162 youths in Langley last year who were at risk of becoming homeless, and 49 out on the street. To address local homelessness, the City recently formed the Langley Homelessness Task Force. The task force – made up of local service providers (including Stepping Stone), businesses, BC Housing, Fraser Health, the RCMP, municipal departments, City councillors, and a Township councillor – spearheads a process that will lead to the creation of a Homelessness Strategic Plan. “Within that plan there’s all kinds of different pieces, different approaches,” Holland said, adding, “I think looking at the housing continuum in general is something that needs to be done. I think in any community that’s got a homeless plan that’s functioning, there’s different types of housing.” This doesn’t just include subsidized housing, he explained. It also includes housing with staffing involved to add stability. “The solution to them is just get rid of everybody,” Sharon said. “That’s not possible. I have a right to be in this town; I’ve lived here for 35 years. My parents are buried here, my brother is buried here, my grandparents are buried here. Are you telling me I’m not part of this town? I don’t think so.”

Solutions City council has endorsed the Langley Homelessness Strategic Plan. The top priorities to tackle first: 1. A City/Township partnership agreement 2. A homelessness action table 3. A homelessness integration team 4. Increase the number of rent supplements 5. Support integrated intervention approaches in housing and health 6. Form a Fraser Valley homelessness table

The congregation at Langley Presbyterian likes the idea of helping out the grandkids. The kids may not be their own grandkids but at-risk and homeless youth at Langley Secondary are someone’s, and the church members are only too pleased to help them. Each Christmas the small congregation does a special offering and donates the money, even though it already gives to the Langley Food Bank, a food program in Cloverdale and does other good works. After seeing a media report about Langley Secondary students who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, the church decided that’s where its $2,291.50. Rev. Dennis Howard stopped by the school with the donation and learned more about how the school tackles social issues. He hoped others would come forward to help local students. The funds will go to provide food for students and was given to the Langley School District Foundation. For LSS, there’s related social issues staff encounters – homelessness and hunger. LSS started working closely with Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services (now Encompass Support Services Society) about five years ago to tackle some of these problems. Principal Dawne Tomlinson said every school faces these issues but older students are often overlooked. “They don’t consider them-

Langley Secondary School principal Dawne Tomlinson explained how the school helps students who are homeless or lacking food to Rev. Dennis Howard. He visited the school with a donation from Langley Presbyterian Church.

But anyone not living in the family home is homeless and eventually the kids run out of options for couch surfing at friends. “They don’t have a healthy, safe environment so their safe environment becomes the school,” she said. They often end up in limbo with no food on evenings and weekends and sometimes even no toiletries for personal grooming. The school is also home to students going hungry. “We have a lot of kids that don’t have a lot of food,” Tomlinson explained. But this is high school and staff have had to come up with ways to help the young people get food, whether it’s during the school day or for evenings and weekends,

without pinning a bulls-eye on the kids’ backs. “As soon as they become visible, they become targets,” she explained. There’s social stigma to poverty and the lack of resources. The school tries to create an atmoshpere where students feel they can talk to staff and counsellors. They can get food in the cafeteria without having to announce to the world that they have no money and students can go to one of about five spots around the school to get healthy snacks, in a low key manner. Tomlinson added that more than talk is needed. The school has bus tickets and passes for homeless students who must move out of the community to access shelter. And the school can provide

grocery cards so the students can get a bit of food or some basic personal care items. “It’s taking down barriers for them to get to school,” Tomlinson said. The food can serve as a means to bigger conversations, such as why there is no food in the home. Tomlinson tears up when asked about whether the youth understand and appreciate the efforts of staff. “They totally get it,” she said of the students. A lot of the social problems end up in her office and she gets to see that some simple resources give the kids hope. Tomlinson said it’s about helping kids who want to be in school, stay in school. “I think it’s just that sense of hope, and a sense of relief that someone cares,” she said.

Quilters woven into the local fabric HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Quilted works of art by a longtime local sewer originally from Portgugal, pieces created by Langley students in a special youth program and much more are on display at the 2016 Quilt Show. Every two years the Langley Quilters Guild holds the fundraising show, filling the George Preston Recreation Centre. The guild has 218 members and it’s been a long time since quilting was about cutting up scrap clothing to make bed covers. “These are pieces of art,” said president Lana Kettley. This year, in addition to the more than 350 quilts on display, artist Maria DaSilva is the guest artist displaying her elaborate pieces which involve a lot of hand applique. Her sister is expected to visit from Portugal just for her exhibit. DaSilva’s quilts are very hopeful and are about looking to the future, understandable since she is a transplant survivor. For guild members, quilting is a very social activity and a way to connect with others much more than being about assembling pieces or matching threads. “We have such a lot of fun,” said guild member Rita Raun. Guild members have a wide range of talents and levels of experience, so they share and teach each other. “The making of it is what I love,” said Kettley. Like most longtime quilters, she gives away more than she keeps. The list of groups that haven’t received quilts from the guild may be shorter than the list that has. Much of the fabric is donated but fundraisers like the quilt show help cover supplies. “Last year we gave away over 200 quilts,” Raun said. The guild has given to Ishtar Transition Housing Society,

Members have made special items for the Quilts of Valour program (for injured soldiers, police officers and firefighters) and the BC Ambulance Helicopter Infant Transport team.

can often be found at Harrison Landing, doing quilting and fabric arts with residents of the seniors complex in the Sit & Stitch program. Grace Jones is a guild members and Harrison resident who started sewing at the age of 10. She crochets and has made four children’s quilts and other quilted items. Now at 86 and due to health issues, she can’t do all fabric arts but still joins in when the guild visits, hand stitching little felt teddy bears which will be sold at Harrison’s fall bazaar. She has one word when asked why she enjoys the guild visits: “friendly.” The guild also helps share a love of quilting through its program, Tomorrow’s Quilters. Guild members worked with students to colour fabric panels by painting, stencilling, marbelling or other means. Those panels were then assembled into quilts which will be on display May 6 and 7. The guild hopes to expand the program and have students do sewing as well. The show runs 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on May 6 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 7. Need some help or have a question? All the guild members will be wearing blue T-shirts at the show. Also check out langleyquiltersguild. com. When it’s time to sit and relax, there’s the tea room and demonstrations by guild members and vendors. Admission is $6 and if people want refreshments and snacks, $3 for the tea room. The venue has ample parking and is wheelchair accessible. There will be Kids Quilts, a merchant mall with about 16 vendors and a gift shop. A special part of the show is the challenge. There will be about 30 entries and there are strict rules. “The challenge this year is you had to use your birthstone and your birth flower,” Kettley explained.

Pair of Langley thespians tackle a Tri-City wedding comedy A Brookswood actress plays one of five bridesmaids in play opening tonight. ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

One day very soon, Ashley Sutton has intentions of owning and operating her own theatre company in the Lower Mainland, and bringing to its stage plays the calibre of a show she’s opening in tonight in Coquitlam. The 26-year-old student and part-time event planner

Langley’s own Angela Bell is directing, along with Brookswood’s Ashley Sutton (inset) acting, in Stage 43’s production of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. and gate builder from Brookswood, who is also an actor and stage manager, is play-

ing the role of Georgeanne in Stage 43 Theatrical Society’s production of Five Women Wearing

the Same Dress. When Sutton learned that fellow Langleyite and mentor Angela Bell was directing this comedy, she offered to cross the dreaded toll bridge – using transit – and audition. Sutton had worked with Bell, when she directed For Better at the Langley Playhouse a few years earlier. “She’s a great director,” Sutton said of Bell. “She knews what she’s doing. She’s passionate... so you know when you go in to work that she’s giving you everything she has... she doesn’t hold back.” Sutton wasn’t trying out for any part in particular, but having read the script before hand Sutton was pretty psyched about

landing any part in this production. “It’s exciting,” she said of the Alan Ball play. “It’s a fun ride with these crazy women, with their dramatic, their humour, their love for each other,” Sutton said, explaining that during a “ridiculously overdone” wedding reception, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reasons to avoid the proceedings below. Five Women runs April 28 to 30, and May 4 to 7 with shows at 8 p.m., plus a 2 p.m. matinee on May 1, at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam.

The Vancouver Stealth announced Tuesday that the Langley-based pro lacrosse team and its fans have raised $39,260 for the Lacrosse on the Move Fund in 2016. The total amount is from 50-50 sales, the Stealth Jersey Auction, and private donations.

Special to the Langley Advance

The Vancouver Stealth are apparently better late than never. Langley’s pro lacrosse team won its second contest in a row Saturday night, downing the Saskatchewan Rush 14-12 at the Langley Events Centre and extending its National Lacrosse League playoff hopes in the process. Vancouver (5-11) has two road games remaining in the regular season, with visits to the Colorado Mammoth (11-6) Friday and to the Georgia Swarm (7-10) Saturday, and needs to win them both to have any chance at the post-season. The Calgary Roughnecks (7-10), who were idle this weekend, host the Toronto Rock (5-12) next Saturday to wrap up their schedule. If both Vancouver and Calgary finish 7-11, the Stealth would nab the third

and final playoff post out of the West based on a better divisional record. Corey Small bagged the eventual winner for Vancouver Saturday at 6:10 of the fourth quarter. The Stealth went into the night with the lowest winning percentage in the nine-team league. Logan Schuss had four goals and four assists for the victors and Joel McCready added four goals and two assists, including a tally at the 13:33 mark of the fourth, that nixed any thoughts of a Saskatchewan comeback. Rhys Duch, Vancouver’s leading scorer, finished with two goals and six assists, but didn’t play after getting tripped up by Saskatchewan’s Kyle Rubisch with 4:43 remaining. The game marked the return to the lineup of Garrett Billings, Vancouver’s prize off-season trade pickup. A three-time 100-point man with the Toronto Rock, Billings (lower body injury) had missed the past five games, but notched a goal and five assists Saturday. Mark Matthews led the Rush (12-5), the

reigning league champions who moved from Edmonton to Saskatoon this off-season, with five goals and two assists. Robert Church had three goals and two assists in the losing effort. Team owners Denise Watkins of the Stealth and Bruce Urban of the Rush both agreed to pay $5,000 apiece to the Lacrosse on the Move fund if the game was a sellout. Lacrosse on the Move is a partnership set up between the Stealth and the B.C. Lacrosse Association to raise money for teams travelling to provincials and athletes travelling to the national events. The contest drew 4,409 to the LEC, which lists capacity at 5,276. The Stealth announced in the fourth quarter that Watkins would donate $4,409, and challenged Urban on social media to do the same. Vancouver averaged crowds of 3,677 its first eight home games. They were last in the league in attendance going into Saturday. The NLL’s nine teams were averaging 9,050 at the start of the day. – Steve Ewen is a reporter with the Vancouver Province

CIRCUS

Thousands of students have benefitted from the D.W. Poppy Secondary Car Show since it started 29 years ago.

Langley pair golden A pair of 13-year-old students from Langley’s Circus Lab have come back from the Australian Circus Festival with two first place wins. Caitlin Mckenzie’s and Gabrielle Payn’s category, Teen PreProfessional, was rather large hence it was split into two shows, Teen Pre-Pro A and Teen PrePro B. Their results from Sydney were as follows: Teen Pre-Professional Mark Turner Images A: Caitlin McKenzie, Gabrielle Payn (gold, 13, came home with trapeze) Teen Pre-Professional a gold medal from the Australian Circus B: Festival in Sydney. Caitlin Mckenzie (gold, trapeze) Gabrielle Payn (bronze, hand-balancing) The two-show split allowed the teens not to directly compete against each other on trapeze. As a result, their trapeze acts landed them both in first place. Gabrielle Payn also scored a third place for her hand-balancing act. > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Circus Lab’

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The proceeds each year support school programs. This year’s show is May 1, at the school, 23752 52nd Ave. The casual little car show in rural Langley has grown into a vital fundraiser for the school. And it seems the public now looks forward to a trip back to school. “We expect over 5,000 people at this event,” noted principal Balan Moorthy.

The public can stop by the school 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is by donation (minimum $3). Vehicle owners can start entering the site at 8 a.m. The fee for each vehicle is a minimum $15 donation on show day. Advance registration is possible at the school for $10 per vehicle or at brownpapertickets.com (event 2503661).

Breakfast is being cooked up by the Fort Langley Lions. The D.W. Poppy basketball teams have the concession all day. There’s vendors, a 50/50 draw, prizes and more. Check out DW Poppy Car Show on Facebook. The show is organized by a volunteer committee of parents, teachers, school administration and members of the community.

We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan. The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him. Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue!

Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae

3 Reasons to Lease:

You pay for only part of the car you are going to use.

The payment on a lease is made on a much smaller balance than a comparable term loan. The tax is paid as you go, and not up front, as with the purchase. With a lease, you get a smaller obligation and smaller payment, and less taxes.

A lease gives you options that give you more control of vehicle costs.

Equity may accumulate due to Nissan’s strong resale value; the value may actually increase! A lease protects you from any loss in vehicle due to any unforeseen price influences (economic conditions, manufacture problems, accident declarations, vehicle loss of popularity, gas consumption, etc). And you can buy out the lease and own the vehicle at any time.

A lease can give you better cash flow.

The lease gives you a new car with smaller payments and the ability to cash in on any equity. Smaller payments may allow you to buy that new car (warranty, features, etc) rather than a used one that may involve more maintenance or repairs.

a lifestyle choice that allows you to get more car, more often, with better options and flexibility.

We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae
