The overall mix of amenities “won’t be dissimilar” to Cascades Casino in Langley City, but what will set Elements apart will be the horse racing, he said. In 2014, a multi-year deal was agreed to by Great Canadian, which also operates Hastings Racecourse – home to thoroughbred horse racing – and B.C.’s standardbred and thoroughbred

By Jennifer Lang It took him nearly nine hours, and his feet were pretty sore by the end of it all, but on Sunday, Liberal candidate John Aldag managed to circle the federal riding of Cloverdale-Langley City on foot. He logged nearly 47 kms in a combination run/ walk in a bid to raise awareness about the new riding, created through a boundary redistribution that comes into effect for the fall election.

sectors. The deal guarantees racing for five more years, offering stability for the industry in the short term. Keeling said the provincial government allows the racing side of the operations a proportionate share of slot machine revenue. “The higher the revenue for slot machines, the better it is for them,” he said. Merging the racing staff of Fraser Downs and Hastings Racecourse is “something that has not been contemplated,” Keeling said. “They’re two different entities. Two different operations.

I wish we were opening tomorrow, not six to seven months from now.” Fraser Downs, including standardbred racing (resuming Oct. 1), will remain fully operational during renovations, with Elements Casino opening toward the end of 2015.

Concern about the high cost of living and housing is one of the top local issues for local voters, he said, along with the treatment of veterans, seniors issues, crime and safety, investment in infrastructure, and the need for responsible and transparent government, he said.

The pilot of a hot air balloon was forced to make an emergency landing last Wednesday at Northview Golf Course. Originally headed for a school south of 64 Avenue, the wind caused the balloon to drift off course into a residential area. The pilot was able to guide it to safety, landing at the Cloverdale golf course. No injuries were reported.

More shots fired Surrey is averaging more than a shooting every three days since a drug turf war started in early March. On Sunday at about 1 a.m., Surrey Mounties received a number of calls of shots fired in the area of 140 Street and 104 Avenue. The police dog services, Air 1 helicopter and general duty officers attended and bullet casings were found near 139 Street and 104 Avenue. There is no evidence of anything or anyone being struck. Witnesses said they saw a dark-coloured olderAFFORDABLE

model sports car with tinted windows speeding away from the scene. It’s the 37th shooting in the last 105 days. Police say half the shootings since March 9 have been determined to be the result of a drug turf war over a dial-a-dope operation. Mounties are asking that anyone who may have been in the area of where the latest shots were fired to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502, the special tip lLine for the shootings in the Delta/Surrey area at 604-915-6566 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Heritage lodge mourned Our recent story on the dismantling last month of one of Surrey’s oldest heritage buildings (“Heritage hall falls,” May 20), the Loyal Orange Lodge No. 1471 built in 1891, has drawn attention both at home here in Surrey, across the country and even across the globe. The lodge – a rare surviving example of an early institutional building in Surrey – was relocated to Surrey Centre Cemetery when its original property near Five Corners was redeveloped. It sat for more than 20 years, but despite heritage protection was torn down because the rotten wooden building couldn’t be saved. The Orange Order is a Protestant fraternal organization that has its roots in Northern Ireland, and played a large role in the history of Canada, where the order helped newcomers and settlers, organizing communities and benevolent activities. The Loyal Orange Lodge No. 1471 was

instituted at Grey’s Corner in Langley, B.C., in 1871, with a membership of settlers from Langley and Surrey. The lodge moved to Surrey Centre in 1884, and the hall was constructed in 1891. Here’s a sample of the reaction to the story online at www.cloverdalereporter.com:

A Rose is a Rose…Or Is It? By Christine Cheng, R.Ph.

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”…words spoken by Shakespeare’s Juliet to imply that no matter what you called him, Romeo was still a Montague. But does this ring true for your vitamins and minerals? Definitely not! First let’s take a look at reasons why a multivitamin can be useful to all of us. A multivitamin is a combination of both vitamins and minerals, sometimes with added phytonutrients. Minerals are elements that cannot be created nor destroyed; they are recycled from the earth, into plants, into animals or us, and back to the earth. Theoretically, we would be able to get all the minerals we need from our diet. However, nowadays, soils are often depleted of their mineral content and not replenished by fertilizers thus the food that is being grown may also be deficient in many minerals. Vitamins are nutrients which for the most part obtained from our diet. If the plants we are eating are grown under ideal conditions, then they are better

On the other hand, magnesium bisglycinate is much better absorbed into the bloodstream where it relaxes skeletal muscles instead of causing diarrhea. Thus, not every bottle of vitamins or minerals is the same. Look for “professionals only” brands such as THORNE RESEARCH and METAGENICS®. These companies put all their research and manufacturing priorities in the purity and bioavailability of the ingredients to make sure the consumer is getting the most benefit out of their supplements.

It’s just one of the donations the club made this June to non-profit organizations working to make a difference. The student club raised the money over the school year through ice cream and hot chocolate sales and activities such as decorating student lockers at Christmastime for a small fee, plus bubble tea and donut fundraisers, donating $750 to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society and $1,000 to Doctors Without Borders.

Trustees up their pay trustees less, but has two more, so their total wage payout equals Surrey’s at about $230,000 per year. Coquitlam trustees are the highest paid in the Lower Mainland. With student enrolment of about 31,000 (Surrey’s is close to 70,000), the nine Coquitlam board members are each paid a base rate of $37,000, totalling approximately $338,000 per year. “We were willing to do the extra workload for seven trustees rather than add two more trustees,” Wilson said. “The trustees all felt it was warranted and justified…” The Surrey board also changed the way it compensates the chair and vice-chair. It used to be the chairperson and vice-chair would get an additional $3,000 and $1,500, respectively, on top of the annual base rate. However, the June 18 motion says the chair will now receive an additional 15 per cent (amounting to $4,800 this year), while the vice-chair will get an extra sevenand-a-half per cent (amounting to $2,400). Wilson said the formula should always have been percentagebased rather than a set amount, because as the base rate grew over

By Sheila Reynolds Surrey school trustees voted themselves a four per cent raise. They say it’s justified considering the workload involved in helping run the largest school district in the province. The increase in the Surrey Board of Education’s annual remuneration brings the seven trustees’ base pay rate to $32,000 apiece per year, up from $30,800 during the past year. The increase – voted on after a motion that was deferred in March was re-introduced and passed unanimously at Thursday’s public board meeting – amounts to about $100 more per month and is effective July 1. “If you took the total governance cost divided by the number of students and worked it out on a per-student cost, we’re extremely low – probably the lowest,” said board of education chairperson Shawn Wilson. “In reality, more students means more schools, more employees, bigger budgets, more activities and more workload for seven trustees.” Both the Vancouver and Coquitlam school districts have nine trustees. Vancouver pays their

the years, the top-up remained stagnant. The Surrey board reviews its remuneration each year, usually basing the rate on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Vancouver. According to Statistics Canada, between May 2014 and May 2015, Vancouver’s CPI rose one per cent. Trustees had an assessment of trustee pay and responsibilities across the country done a few years ago to gage trustee pay in comparable school districts, but hadn’t acted on the recommendations until this week. “They felt that $32,000 for a trustee for the workload in Surrey was reasonable compensation,” said Wilson. The Surrey board actually cut its pay by $200 per year in 2013, but last year, increased it by $600 annually. Then-trustee Charlene Dobie protested the raise in 2014, calling it a “slap in the face” to teachers who were in the midst of a strike. At Thursday’s meeting, she questioned this year’s raise and took to Twitter to voice her disapproval, saying trustees “gave themselves a big pay raise tonight? Verbal only! Transparency? Not!”

In June, the Travel Media Association of Canada Annual General Meeting was held in Peterborough, the entrance to the Kawarthas. This was my opportunity to not only explore, understand, and snag a quick (envious) peek at central Ontario’s famous ‘cottage country’, but take a pre-conference detour to my childhood roots in Clarkson and Oakville. “Come and stay with us before the conference,” urged writing friends, Judy and Alex Eberspaecher. “Let’s see what’s left here of your childhood memories.” In addition to outstanding hospitality, what did I find?

The Lower Middle Road house and gardens where my parents pioneered have been replaced by businesses and industry. Mother would be distressed at the vanished farmland, but consoled (and amused as a Royalist) to know our road became Royal Windsor Drive.

Across the road from where our house stood was ‘the bush’. It was full of tall trees, marsh land, and wildflowers. I particularly remember all the Trilliums. Sadly, it’s all been replaced with charmless concrete and industry. So much for preserving Ontario ecology. On my must-see list was Benares House. I knew it was near the home of Whitney Millard, a school friend

Top 5 Things Millennials Should Know When Buying Real Estate 1

There are 9 million Millennials in Canada, representing more than 25 percent of the population. Born between 1980 and 1999, the eldest are in the early stages of their careers, forming households and buying their first homes. Here are five additional tips for millennials looking to buy real estate:

?1? Don’t rush into the housing market—do your homework: learn the basics of savings, credit and budgeting. Lifelong savings is a crucial ingredient to financial prosperity. You must spend less than you earn, ideally saving at least 10 percent of your gross income. Put

?3? This is not a Do-It-Yourself project: build a team of trusted professionals to guide you along. You need expert advice. The first person you should talk to is an accredited mortgage professional. These people are trained financial planners and understand the ever-changing mortgage market. ?4? Down payments, closing costs, moving expenses and basic upgrades need to be understood to avoid nasty surprises. The size of your downpayment is key and, obviously, the bigger the better. You need a minimum of 5 percent of the purchase price and anything less than 20 percent will require you to pay a hefty CMHC mortgage loan insurance premium, which is frequently added to the mortgage principal and amortized

over the life of the mortgage as part of the regular monthly payment. You can expect to pay from 1.5to-4 percent of the purchase price of your home up front in closing costs. These costs include legal fees, appraisals, property transfer tax, HST (where applicable) on new properties, home and title insurance, mortgage life insurance and prepaid property tax and utility adjustments. ?5? Test drive your monthly housing payments to learn how much you can truly afford. Affordability is not about how much credit you can qualify for, but how much you can reasonably tolerate given your current and future income, stability, lifestyle and budget. The formal qualification guidelines used by lenders are two-fold: 1) your housing costs must be no more than 32 percent of your gross (pre-tax) household income; and, 2) your housing costs plus all other debt servicing must be no more than 40 percent of your gross income. Lenders define housing costs as mortgage payments, property taxes, condo fees (if any) and heating costs. In your planning, you should also calculate other utilities, ongo-

604-575-2405

ing maintenance, home insurance and unexpected repairs. Taking all of these costs into consideration, the 32 percent and 40 percent guidelines might well put an unacceptable crimp in your lifestyle. Keep in mind that this is not a normal interest rate environment. Don’t over-extend because there is a good chance interest rates will be higher when your term is up. Have your broker do the math on what a doubling of interest rates five years from now would do to your monthly payment.

NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT READ. The Cloverdale

were there. Instead we headed back along the Lakeshore Highway for an excellent lunch at Piazza Bistro, 94 George St., Oakville. With my walk down memory lane satisfactorily accomplished, Alex, Judy, and I set off on the 2-hour drive for Peterborough, an easy-to-navigate industrial-style city 125 kms northeast of Toronto. Like most conferences, eating featured prominently, but courtesy (often lacking in cities) has to be noted. Imagine my surprise when returning to my Holiday Inn room before lunch one day to find a handwritten note (on cheerful owl-embossed notepaper) on the bathroom counter. It said: “Welcome home! I noticed you are low on toothpaste. Please accept a new tube complimentary to our hotel. Have a great day! Maya (Housekeeping)”. Little things mean a lot – particularly when travelling. Young Peterborough entrepreneurs are repurposing many historic stone buildings for coffee shops and intimate restaurants. Peterborough is also home to a plethora of brew pubs. Despite not being a beer drinker, I tagged along on the afternoon tour. I gained beer knowledge, but abandoned much beer in the (large) tasting glasses – to the delight of my Twitter @YouTravel followers! For pre and post tours I continued my focus on literary history, plus photography, and birding. That made two out three I knew something about. Birding is one of the top global travel

passions. It was time for me to find out why. Thanks to Orillia birder, photographer, and conservationist, Arni Stinnissen, I’m now better informed – plus I (unsurprised) need a longer Nikon lens. Check Arni’s work at www.arniworks.com. Birder or not, you’ll be enchanted. To explore Lakefield on the shores of Lake Katchewanooka in the Kawarthas, you’ll need a car – and bug spray. Yes, the plentiful water breeds mosquitoes, and ticks are around, but don’t be deterred. Nineteenth century Upper Canada pioneering authors and naturalists like Catharine Parr Traill, and her sisters, Agnes Strickland, Jane Margaret Strickland, and Susanna Moodie were shocked at the contrast to their comfy English village life. However, they survived, thrived, and recorded the natural history of the area in words and art for posterity. You can do it, too! Thanks to a local guide we located the land (now reclaimed by nature) that Parr, her husband and sisters, had homesteaded on. We read their detailed, often humorous, accounts in the archives of Trent University, and admired the elegant, detailed drawings of plants, and wildflowers the sisters encountered. Since clearing ground and building cabins in the woods is no longer encouraged we were comfortable at The Village Inn in Lakefield, and were pleased with our dining choices on the main street.

Things to include in your Peterborough and The Kawarthas itinerary: Books stores: particularly the Lakefield Station Book Store. Museums: check the weaving at Lang Pioneering Village Museum. The Peterborough Lift Lock on the Trent Canada. The world’s highest dual hydraulic boat lifts. Take the boat, of course!
