Whatcom Wine & Spirits Private Liquor Store is a unique, specialty destination!

Q Looking for a wee bit of wisdom to pair food with wine?

A Food and wine pairing can fi ll people with apprehension, but dont worry about getting it perfect. It feels so much better to relax, experiment, and have some fun. If I could impart one wee bit of “Wine Wisdom” when it comes to pairing food and wine it would be this: try to match the intensity of the food to the intensity of the wine. For example, a light and citrusy Italian Pinot Grigio would be overpowered beside a plate of well-seasoned prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and rich gravy, just like a monstrous Old Vine Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon would completely wallop a delicate prawn and scallop appetizer in phyllo pastry. The perfect food pairing is when each element works in harmony with the other.

SHOPPERIt’s all about confi dence! We bring your inner beauty, out.

Q How does non-surgical body contouring work?A The system we use, CoolSculpting, is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet and exercise resistant fat for proven, noticeable and lasting results. Unlike other fat reduction procedures such as liposuction, CoolSculpting involves no anesthetic, needles, surgery or downtime. The cooling only kills fat cells underneath the skin in the targeted area while leaving healthy skin cells untouched. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body.

Cascadia Chiropractic treats plantar fasciitis with Shockwave Therapy

Q What you should know about plantar fasciitis?

A Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation and damage to the tough fibrous tissue which forms the arch of the foot. Patients may describe the sensation as a sharp or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the arch that typically occurs during walking or standing. Often, pain occurs early in the morning when patients are taking their first few steps out of bed. As the foot naturally tightens at night, the fascia may gain new tears in the morning, initiating a painful cycle.

WHAT CAUSES PLANTAR FASCIITIS?Improper footwear, strenuous activity, and obesity can bring on plantar fasciitis. Flat feet, high arches and poor shock absorption in shoes can also put excessive stress on the foot’s soft tissues. Plantar fasciitis is commonly seen in middle-aged patients.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTSShock wave therapy (SWT) has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. SWT delivers focused shock waves to the body.

Shockwave Ttherapy is thought to work by inducing microtrauma to the tissue that is affected by plantar fasciitis. This

microtrauma initiates a healing response by the body. This healing response causes blood vessel formation and increased delivery of nutrients to the affected area. The microtrauma is thought to stimulate a repair process and relieve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

Furniture shopping in Abbotsford just became easier

Q What should shoppers know about home furnishings?

A The best way to shop for any furniture is to start local and go from there.

“Given you can fi nd the selection and price range within your means, local makes the most sense,” says Aaron Miller of Abbotsford.

“I am second generation, as my dad owned a store in Clearbrook back in the 80s. As things changed, our family joined Ashley Furniture and opened stores in Coquitlam, Langley and now here in Abbotsford.

MORE ABOUT ASHLEY’S“Ashley’s provides many attributes to families, couples or anybody looking to get the best of selection, value, quality and reputation. Our brand is in over 120 countries and we have been in business for over seventy years,” Aaron said.

“We are extremely excited to be back home in Abbotsford where I have lived my entire life. This new store has it all

and we can easily keep up with the growing trends, newest fashions, materials and customer service, all tied into the power of our Ashley brand! We are not just furniture, we carry accessories, mattresses and décor.

“We recognize the community in Abbotsford is primarily young and extremely family based. The value of offerings and selection we have in this store at any time of the year is second to none.

“There really is no need to shop outside of the community to fi nd what you are looking for. In the event we do not have the exact merchandise in stock, our catalogue and inventory available to us is at our fi ngertips with our Ashley affi liation.

“We offer shoppers low cost payment plans with free fi nancing so you can enjoy your furniture in your home without hitting the freeway! And our delivery service is popular too.”

MSA Ford has access to 15 national brand tires

Q What regulations have changed in BC for winter driving?

A ICBC says... Driving without winter tires will not void your insurance if you have a claim. It also won’t mean you’re automatically at fault in a crash. However, if you get in a crash where winter tires could have helped, not having them may affect whether – or how much – you are at fault.

MORE ABOUT WINTER DRIVING IN BCWinter tires are required in BC on many rural highways and high mountain passes in the Interior, North and Vancouver Island. BC is one of only three provinces in Canada that defi ne a winter tire and specify where their use is required.“If you are worried or have questions about this coming winter, talk or visit us! At MSA Ford, we have the expertise and experience to keep you on the

How to select the right tires for your vehicle

Both the mountain snowflake and M+S tires meet the minumum requirement for winter tires in BC. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the RCMP recommend that regular travellers on BC’s highways equip their cars and light trucks with the mountain snowflake tire, which is the best tire available for winter conditions.M+S tires are a viable option for motorists who live in areas without frequent winter weather and who plan their trips to coincide with periods of better weather. All drivers should be prepared to drive with added care and caution when winter conditions are encountered.

BC winters as we all know can change quickly and create instantaneous dangerous situations. Every driver needs to be able to react quickly whether they put themselves in a sketchy situation or avoiding the misadventures of another vehicle approaching your path!

The 7 degree celcius threshold will change the dynamics of your all season tires and will alter the ‘ stickiness ‘ of your tread when in contact with snow and ice. In our climate, the 7 degree temperature can fl uctuate for the better part of 5-6 months!Please call or visit

A lifetime of bright smiles starts young

Q What’s the best age for your children’s fi rst dental visit?

A The optimum time to begin visiting your family dentist is when your child’s fi rst teeth erupt and experts agree you should not wait later than the child’s fi rst birthday.

Though it may seem that this is a very young age, it’s important to start off right and you want your child to be familiar with both dental hygiene and with all the dental professionals who will assist them in taking care of their oral health for life.

MORE INFO ABOUT YOUR CHILD’SDENTAL CAREDuring your child’s fi rst appointment, your dentist will give you all the instructions you’ll require to ensure your child’s optimum oral health and offer advice about dental hygiene care and diet.

Comprehensive dental examinations can really only be performed when your child is able to cooperate with the dentist.

We suggest beginning your dental hygiene by wiping the teeth with a damp rag after meals to help them to get used to having their teeth cleaned.

As they become used to this and begin getting teeth, you can then move on to brushing and fl ossing. Your dental hygienist will demonstrate the best ways to do this during your fi rst visits. Starting with a toothbrush and toothpaste early is a crucial step to ensure your child learns good oral hygiene habits.

It’s crucial to remember that your child should never swallow or eat the toothpaste! Start with a dab of fl uoridated toothpaste the size of a pea.

At Clayburn Dental, we enjoy kids and we know that they like to have fun. That’s why we offer a Kids Familiarization Tour which gives your children an opportunity to visit with the dental professionals and to enjoy a ‘chair ride’, look in the dental mirror and, have fun with the water squirter in an informal and relaxed manner.

Every great journey begins with a step; let that step be in comfort

“I remember getting called on a Friday, and started work on the following Monday,” John Laanstra recalls. He started working full-time at Chilliwack’s Payton & Buckle shoe store in 1981, and became the store owner in 2007.

“It was really foreign,” he says of his fi rst day in retail. “I grew up as a farmer, and was in construction just prior.”

The success in Chilliwack allowed John the

opportunity to expand. He opened the store in Abbotsford in 2009 and Pitt Meadows in 2013.

An extensive inventory and great service are primary concerns at Payton & Buckle.

The store may be small, but it’s packed with a plethora of fi ne footwear for men and women of all ages. Just catch a glimpse of the enormous inventory in the back and know that you won’t walk away

empty handed.

Compared to a chain shoe store, John reveals that he has more freedom and insight when selecting inventory. “For us, the people who are choosing [the shoes] are actually the ones who work on the fl oor.” They’ve heard fi rst-hand every day what people are asking for, which isn’t always the case for head offi ce leadership teams in a chain.

Payton & Buckle carries

a mix of unique and common shoe brands. Our core inventory is the shoes that people will get the most use out of, rather than the pair that might look great on a shelf, but will only be worn once. They have great longevity as well, many are European leather.

As fall has fallen upon us, you’ll see more boots than shoes in Payton & Buckle. “It used to be that everyone just wanted a black boot,” John explains.

Although black remains a staple, consumers have widely accepted and embraced the boot in many other colours as well.

After decades of experience, Laanstra has mastered the ability to quickly pick up on who prioritizes style, who prioritizes comfort, and the many who are looking for something in between. It helps having a customer base that you’re already familiar with, too.

How does Payton & Buckle givebetter service than chain stores?

A ”At Payton & Buckle we continually maintain our classic service: we sit and fi t,” a process that owner John Laanstra says is becoming increasingly rare.

Great service is essential for John, who says that he’s always been a people-person. “I want to go to work to be up front, that’s who I am. I thoroughly enjoy it.”

SHOPPERThe best insurance is the policy which delivers when you need it!

Q Are you receiving the best value and fully understand your insurance coverage?If insurance was a commodity like apples or oranges then the comparison shopping would be fairly easy to do. There are not too many differences and the perceived value to the consumer is readily apparent.

However, insurance products are as varied as the individual needs of the customer. There is no simple solution for a one- size- fi ts- all

approach. While costs of insurance or the premium paid for a policy is an important consideration, the underlying reason for insurance is to protect you from a potentially catastrophic fi nancial loss. There is no benefi t in paying for a policy that only partially responds to a loss or worse, not at all.

Insuring your home, boat, vehicle or business venture all have their own underwriting

requirements. This supports the earlier point that insurance is not a commodity and there are many differences between certain types of insurance products and the people who need the insurance coverage. Don’t be fooled with claims of great coverage at great prices.

Basic underwriting information gets the quoting process started and this can be done on our website. This is often

a great starting point for the conversation to begin. Many times, an insurance solution can be agreed upon easily, depending on how risk averse the customer may be. Or put another way, how much of the loss they are willing to accept personally. By purchasing an insurance policy, you are transferring the loss exposure from yourself to the insurance company. The premium charged for the policy is partly

based on this transfer of responsibility. Another consideration is balancing the likelihood of a claim happening versus the severity of the loss.

In consultation with our clients, we offer choices of coverages, tailored to their individual needs. If you are unsure of what your present insurance covers, please contact your broker. We cannot interpret others’ policies. If you would like to

review your current situation with us, we would be happy meet with you and offer you suggestions and hopefully a policy that you’ll be comfortable with.

As a broker, we can offer you choice of products and insurers. Since 1994, we have been helping people make choices and fi nd solutions for their insurance needs.

Seek diversifi cation, not market timing

A A key determinant in your long-term investment performance will likely be a result of the asset mix decision. Some will tell you (e.g. brokers, fi nancial press, business show commentators) that success can come from timing - when to get in and out of the market, picking the right stock at the right time, and/or picking the next hot manager. While that all sounds great, we are afraid it just isn’t so. In fact, it has been shown that these behaviors in many instances will actually reduce your overall rate of return.

THE ASSET ALLOCATION DECISIONThe fi rst step in setting up your investment strategy is to make the asset allocation decision that is right for you. This means deciding how much of your money will go into cash, bonds, stocks, and sometimes real estate.

Sadly, many individuals and advisors spend little time formulating the right strategy. As a result, they end up with a collection of holdings that is neither effi cient from a tax perspective, nor properly matched to manage risk. It’s akin to building a new house

without having architectural drawings done fi rst. It might work out, but then again you might get something completely different than what you expected.

Your individual asset allocation needs to be customized to your situation, and should consider factors such as your age, time horizon, tolerance for risk, and specifi c short-term cash needs. When properly done, it will create a balance between the amount of risk you are willing to take and the level of return you want to achieve.

CONSISTENCY COUNTSA key benefi t of diversifi cation

is that it can reduce your overall volatility. This in turn can result in your portfolio value being higher at the end of the day. Your portfolio value at any future date will simply be a function of the compound return. So when the choice is between a portfolio that is making 15% one year and losing 25% in another versus the portfolio that is more consistent (or less volatile) - you will want to go for the latter. Consistent annual returns can result in a higher compound return.

Here’s another way of thinking about this: if a portfolio goes down 50%, it has to make 100% to get back to even.

Whereas, if a portfolio declines 7% it would only need to make 7.6% to recover the loss.

One of the most important things that we do for all of our clients is creating a customized asset allocation strategy that is consistent with their specifi c objectives.

Then, over time, we continue to monitor the strategy and make adjustments as needed. And when we think about why our clients have a positive investment experience – diversifi cation “really” is the key.

Q Do I need a referral from my dentist to make an appointment?

A You do not require a referral to see us for a consultation, and if for any reason we have concerns with your natural teeth and/or gums, we will refer you to a specialist.

Q Can I have my new dentures inserted on the same day as my extractions?A Yes, it is possible to have your teeth removed and dentures put in the same day. The dentures are called immediate dentures and you should talk to your dentist or denturist to see if that treatment is the best for you.

MORE INFO ABOUT DENTURES You’ve just been told you need dentures and, like most people in your position, you’re unsure and probably nervous about what to expect. Change is never easy, especially when it involves something as personal as your mouth. If you’re like most people 40 and older, you place a lot of importance on your smile because you believe it is the fi rst thing that people notice about you. Your fears are not uncommon and many of the patients we see who need dentures express the same concerns.

be comfortable and they will boost your self-esteem.

When you fi rst start wearing dentures, you may fi nd pronouncing certain words may require practice, but reading out loud and repeating troublesome words helps. This practice will train the tongue and lips to relax and these diffi culties will correct themselves in a short time.

At our family run denture clinic, our clients are treated with respect and we take the time to listen to all your concerns. Call today for a free consultation, we look forward to seeing you!

Many people older than 40 are missing multiple teeth and have a full or partial denture, which means someone you know may be going through the same transition as you and may not even be aware of it. That’s because dentures aren’t as noticeable as you may think. Dentures can be made to closely resemble the look of your natural teeth so there is little change in appearance. By replacing missing teeth, dentures can help you speak better, improve the chewing of most foods, and restore a natural-looking smile. After a period of adjustment, proper fi tting dentures will

Government grants for accessible bathrooms

Q Do I need a moreaccessible bathroom?

AMost bathrooms are not very accessible for seniors and often force them to move from their homes sooner than they would wish. Grants from the Government can cover the renovation of a tub to a walk-in shower, the replacement of a low seat toilet to that of a comfort height toilet and the changing of a standard height vanity to one that is taller. All of these things will make bathrooms easier to use and allow seniors to stay independent for longer. Please call us at the offi ce if you have any questions.

Pro-Pack Contracting & Design Inc. has been renovating homes since 2009. We love to focus on the bathrooms of homes because this is a retreat for a lot of people. But as the population grows older, some of the everyday necessities in bathrooms are diffi cult for seniors to use. It’s dangerous to step up into a tub. The toilet seat is too low and diffi cult to stand up from. All of the things that

make a bathroom diffi cult to use for seniors or people with disabilities can be easily changed to allow for a more effi cient and accessible room.

And accessible does not need to mean ugly. All of these bathrooms can be beautiful too. Come by for a chat in our showroom and see what we can do for you or your loved one. Let us help you to love where you live.
