Cloverdale Reporter Aug. 20, 2010

By Jennifer LangIs the sun about to set on harness racing at Fraser Downs?Th at question looms large for people like Brent Hill, a

trainer who’s worked at Cloverdale’s landmark track since he was 16 – a quarter of a century.

Late last Friday, he and other members of B.C.’s standard-bred industry learned Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which took over the raceway in 2004, is cutting the number of races this fall in half to save money.

Another big worry is the news all races in 2011 have been temporarily rescinded while long-term solutions are sought.

While offi cials are hopeful, they’re off ering no assurances that there will be any racing at all next year.

“Th ey’ve basically pulled the carpet out from underneath us by cutting and cutting race dates,” Hill said, reacting to a letter from Derek Sturko, chair of the B.C. Horse Racing In-dustry Management Committee, sent to industry members Aug. 13.

Th e number of standardbred race dates is being reduced from 37 to 23 days from Oct. 15 to Dec. 31.

“I’m hoping our board is going to say these dates are unac-ceptable,” Hill said. “Th e stability needs to be there. We need

to be on solid ground. Taking away race dates isn’t it.”Th e mandate of the government-appointed B.C. Horse

Racing Industry Management Committee is to look at ways of revitalizing both standardbred racing – located at Fraser Downs’ 5/8 mile track – and thoroughbred racing, located at Hastings Park in Vancouver, also owned by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation.

“Th e harness racing people are getting the short end of the stick,” Hill said.

He says it will be diffi cult to justify operating with just four months of racing a year.

He’s grappling with a decision to leave B.C. for greener pastures in Ontario or the U.S. – or get out of the industry he loves.

As a married father of two with long roots in the commu-

nity, he’s reluctant to leave Cloverdale.In the off -season, he operates the Hotdog Hill hotdog stand

at the corner of 184 Street and Fraser Highway. He’s also working on other business ideas to pursue if stan-

dardbred racing dies out – something he believes could hap-pen within two years.

“I have no faith whatsoever,” he said.Sturko’s announcement says a fundamental change in

business approach is necessary if the industry is to remainviable.

Instead of a nine-month season from October to June, thecommittee is looking at splitting the standardbred seasonin half, with four months at Fraser Downs and another four

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSimmie and Charanjit Johal from Cloverdale Farm Market were all smiles last Saturday at the blueberry festival.

Cool colours, shade sorta scarceBy Jennifer LangTh ousands of people crowded into

downtown Cloverdale for the blueberry festival last weekend, braving scorching temperatures and mercilessly sunny skies.

Th e glint of metal, the shine of well-polished chrome and the sparkle of spiff y paint jobs in all the colours of the rainbow made for a dazzling display at the Surrey Show ‘N Shine, one of the big attractions drawing visitors from across the Lower Mainland for the Feb. 14 festival.

As many as 400 cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles were entered this year – dou-ble last year’s participation at the event.

Th e result was a kaleidoscope of custom paint job colours – from aqua blues, mel-on greens, cherry reds and burgundies to sunset yellow and Barbie doll pink.

Across Highway 10 at Clover Square Village, a contestant known only as Moose from Manitoba unseated Ken, the long-running king of the pie-eating contest, ac-cording to organizer Carolyn Orazietti.

“Nobody’s ever beat Ken,” she said.Contestants ate their way through 40

pies in three heats. “It was crazy,” she said. “One girl took

one bite and said, ‘I can’t do it.’”Fortunately, paramedics were on hand

this year to deal with any emergencies – such as when kids get blueberries up their noses, she added.

Th e Cloverdale Blueberry Festival also featured a juried art show, a craft fair, ven-dors, musical performances at various lo-cations and more.

Th e Antique Tractor Pull, a two-day

event hosted for the fi rst time at FraserDowns Racetrack, attracted participantsfrom across the Fraser Valley. About 200spectators gathered to watch vintage farmvehicles prove their mettle.

Th e free trolley rides proved popularthis year, with lineups forming early asfestival-goers declared defeat in the heatand opted for transit rather than walkingto other venues.

Presented by the Cloverdale BusinessImprovement Association and the Clover-dale District Chamber of Commerce, theseventh annual festival drew crowds of upto 10,000 people, according to chamberpresident Bill Reid.– For more photos from the 7th Annual Cloverdale

Blueberry Festival see pages 6-7.

Jeff NagelWildfi re smoke has

again sparked an air quality advisory for the Lower Mainland.

Metro Vancouver of-fi cials said they’ve de-

tected higher levels of fi ne particulate from Interior forest fi res.

Th e highest readings are being measured in coastal areas such as Tsawwassen, Rich-

mond, Vancouver Air-port and the west side of Vancouver.

“Due to the cur-rent spell of hot, sunny weather, ozone levels are also expected to be

elevated this aft ernoon in the region,” Metro air quality planner Julie Saxton said in the advi-sory issued just before noon Monday for Met-ro Vancouver and the

Fraser Valley Regional District.

“Poor air quality con-ditions are expected to persist for the next 24 hours.”

A trend towards

cooler, wetter weather is forecast by the end of the week.

For current Air Qual-ity Health Index read-ings see http://www.bcairquality.com/read-ings/

Residents are advised they can reduce their exposure by avoiding strenuous outdoor ac-tivities.

Infants, the elderly and those with underly-ing conditions like heart or lung disease are con-sidered most at risk.

Anyone with symp-toms like chest discom-fort, shortness of breath,coughing and wheezingis advised to follow ahealth care provider’sadvice.

Th e advisory comesaft er a weekend heatwave set new high tem-perature records in partsof the Fraser Valley.

More than 1,400 wild-fi res have been recordedso far this year, burning175,000 hectares.

‘Th is is my life’months in Alberta – a suggestion that was rejectedoutright by the Alberta Standardbred Horse Asso-ciation.

Board member William Andrew called the deci-sion to cut race dates “shortsighted” and chastisedBC Gaming and the provincial government forthrowing the standardbred racing industry in B.C.to the wolves.

“Th e time has come to hold accountable thosewho in their blind rush towards a future of mindnumbing, addictive, repetitive online gaming aresacrifi cing a labour intensive, green industry thathas traditionally provided entertainment, employ-ment and revenue for generations in British Co-lumbia,” he said.

Local groomsmen, trainers, racers and ownersare all caught in a bind, Hill says. Although reluc-tant to pull up stakes, they can’t aff ord to race justfour months a year.

“Th is is my life. For us, as horsemen, we have tostart bringing horses into the barn now,” Hill said.With the fi rst races of the season now delayed fromOct. 1 to Oct. 15, he’s facing additional feed andother costs.

“Th at’s a few thousand dollars for the feed bills,”he said.

Like an expensive race car sitting idling, “You stillhave to give it gas.”

Between 400 and 500 people are employed at thebackstretch at Fraser Downs.

Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce executivedirector Bill Reid said Cloverdale will feel the im-pact.

“Without a question, it’s our biggest industry,”Reid said.

She’s in a showdownBy Jennifer LangWith musical powerhouses like

Joan Jett, Trooper, Wayne New-ton and Cyndi Lauper set to per-form, it’s fair to say there’s some incredible talent lined up for this year’s PNE.

But there’s one PNE performer you’ve probably never heard of. She’s Surrey’s Alyssa Gutierrez, and on Monday she hits centre stage as a semi fi nalist in Red Robinson’s Talent Showdown.

Guterriez, who just turned 12 in May, is competing in the kid’s division against nine other semi

fi nalists. (Th ere are youth and adult divisions, too.)

If she survives, she could be headed for Wednesday’s fi nals, where the top three contestants – regardless of age – battle it out for the grand prize and $5,000.

Judges will rate contestants on natural ability, stage presence, audience appeal and quality of performance.

Fortunately for Gutierrez, she has the poise and pipes of some-one twice her age.

She also has another competi-tive edge – the PNE talent show-

down isn’t exactly her fi rst sing-ing contest.

A stack of trophies, medals and awards lines a shelf in the fam-ily kitchen, evidence of previous successes – including the 2009 PNT Singing Idol (kid’s division), and most recently the 2010 Val-ley Voices award (8 to 12 divi-sion), which she took home Aug. 2. Th at win earned her a spot at last weekend’s Rockin’ River mu-sic festival in Mission.

She’s even opened for Filipi-na pop star Sarah Geronimo at

60 MINUTES NEEDEDGot an hour to spare? Th at’s plenty of time

to hear more about how to make a diff erence in the lives of animals.

Earlier this week, the BC SPCA is issued an appeal for volunteers.

Th e Surrey branch is hosting a volunteer orientation and presentation session Saturday, Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., at 6706 152 Street, Surrey. Hear from volunteers and meet others who share an interest in using their skills, experience and expertise in assisting animals.

Th e Surrey branch has more than 300 ac-tive volunteers who help with everything from dog-walking, cat adoption counseling and rab-bit fostering to taking part in special events, such as the upcoming Paws for A Cause fund-raiser, Sept. 12 at Crescent Park.

SENIOR FIREPOWERA Langley resident living in a senior’s

complex was using a live hand grenade as a paperweight, RCMP said last week.

Th e police were called to the residence late last month aft er family members who were helping the senior move discovered a grenade and two rounds of ammunition.

Th e grenade was on a book-shelf, where it was being used as a

paperweight. Th e Navy Bomb Disposal team was called out and determined the grenade had a live fuse and that the detonator was possibly intact.

RCMP say it’s a mystery where the senior got the items.

Election of Officersand Annual Report


Vancouver’s 2,500-seat Queen Elizabeth Th e-atre, her largest audi-ence yet.

Blessed with a rich alto voice and an im-pressive range that lets her soar up the scale, Gutierrez, who already stands fi ve foot six head-ing into Grade 7 this fall, appears to take it in stride when people say they can’t believe she’s only 12 years old.

And so far she’s not admitting to getting too nervous about the PNE talent showdown.

“I don’t really take it to heart,” she says, ex-plaining that satisfac-

tion comes from know-ing she’s tried her best – not from winning a trophy.

“I’m prepared to win and I’m prepared to lose,” she says, breaking into a bright grin.

She’ll be singing “I Believe”, a song popular-ized by Canadian singer Nikki Yanofsky.

Gutierrez chose it be-cause it suits her voice, but also because “it has a nice meaning, to never give up and to keep per-severing.”

Dedication, perse-verance, and keeping your feet planted fi rmly on the ground despite whatever else is going on are all qualities she

admires in her idol, Ce-line Dion. (Christina Aguilera is another fa-vourite.)

Th e summer of 2010 has been a busy one for the Walnut Road El-ementary student, who also performed at Sur-rey’s Fusion Festival.

If she seems utterly at ease on stage, perhaps it’s because wherever

she performs, there are friendly faces in the crowd.

Th e whole family turns out to cheer her on when she performs, says her mom, Ana.

“We have a lot of confi dence in her,” Ana says. “We mostly try to convince her that she has the talent and she doesn’t believe her dad and I.”

Gutierrez, who lives in Fleetwood with her mother Ana, father Al-

vin and younger brotherAlvin II, says she’s gother sights set beyondthe PNE. Among hergoals is to join the WorldChampionships of thePerforming Arts, an in-ternational competitionsome call the Olympicsof the performing arts.

Meantime, she’slearning piano and gui-tar because she eventu-

ally wants to play herown accompaniment onstage.

But it isn’t all hardwork and rehearsals for the girl with the bigsmile and the big voice.

Gutierrez, who trainswith a vocal coach, sayssinging is “kind of likeher best friend. Singingkind of cheers me upwhen I’m down.”

Grab a lawn chair, bring a blanket, and settle down to drink in an enduring classic comedy in a park setting.

Th e Bard in the Valley’s out-door production of A Midsum-mer Night’s Dream continues its run in Langley to the end of Au-gust.

It’s the perfect outing for a dreamy summer night.

More than 1,000 people turned out for the fi rst four performanc-es last weekend, wildly surpassing the troupe’s modest expectations for the Valley’s inaugural outdoor Shakespeare production.

“It seems the people of Langley were ready for an outdoor theatre experience this summer,” co-pro-ducer Diane Gendron said.

Th e production is presented at Spirit Square Stage in Langley City’s Douglas Park Aug. 20-21 at 7 p.m. Th ere’s also a 2 p.m. mati-nee Sunday, Aug. 22.

Admission is free.Next weekend, the produc-

tion moves to the International Festival at Willoughby Park at

the Langley Events Centre for two fi nal performances, also free; there’s one at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 and a 2 p.m. matinee Aug. 29.

Director Allan Th ain, who’s also the company’s artistic direc-tor, said he hopes the Bard in the Valley Shakespearean Festival will lay the groundwork for an annual event that would act as

a tourism draw for Langley andthe Fraser Valley, like Bard on theBeach.

With a cast of more than 30 ac-tors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a major undertaking for thetheatre company.

To the editor,Th e latest poll on abortion

in Canada conducted just this month by Angus Reid shows that Canadians are not content with the status quo of unrestricted ac-cess to abortion.

Th e poll showed that 80 per cent of respondents don’t know that in

Canada a woman can request an abortion at any stage of her pregnan-cy!

A n o t h e r i m p o r t a n t fi nding of the survey is that one third of C a n a d i a n s

feel that we should re-open the abortion debate.

Why is it then that our elected leaders continually tell us that Canada doesn’t need this discus-sion? Why do the leaders of Con-servative Party of Canada sup-press any attempts by Canada’s citizens as well as their own MP’s

to bring forward any legislation that would re-open the debate and provide some protection for our most vulnerable citizens?

It’s time, Canada! Th ere are bet-ter solutions for how we protect the lives of unborn children.

We need to have a sensible dis-cussion about this sensitive issue.

If the current group of elected representatives is unwilling to lead us, then it’s time to vote for men and women who will engage Canadians on this most impor-tant topic.

Mike SchoutenSurreyChristian Heritage Party of

Canada candidate South Surrey-White Rock-Clo-

verdale.

To the editor;Comprehensive census data is

necessary for responsible gov-ernment.

Allocation of public funds and electoral districts alone are two areas with tremendous in-fl uence over society.

Tweak the numbers here and there, just a little bit, and the Ca-nadian people will lose billions

in privatization, loss of services,tax cuts for the wealthy andmore corporate dominance.

Th e Conservatives can’t arguewith the results of well-funded,responsible government sothey’re just trying to bury them.

Too many hoopsTo the editor;Re: “Surrey SPCA at capacity for cats and kittens,” Aug. 6While it’s very unfortunate the amount of cats and kittens they

have on hand, part of the problem is the SPCA itself. Th e adoptionprocess (even without considering the cost) is almost as trying as ap-plying for a mortgage. If you see an animal online that’s being fostered,then another set of hoops are put in place. It’s just too involved.

I myself have tried to get a kitten through them and just quit be-cause of the regulations involved, and two weeks ago a friend came tothe same conclusion.

To be fair, the people who work there are truly animal lovers andgenerally very nice people. I think they do the best they can with thebudget they have, but they have to make the process easier.

Q Some folks from Vancouver have made an offer on my house but my realtor tells me that it is not considered sold yet and that I shouldn’t tell anyone the price that we’ve accepted. We are very happy with the price and don’t mind sharing this information with our friends. Why should we wait to tell anyone?

My recommendation would be not to tell your friends and neighbours anything until the there is a sold sticker on the sign in front of your house. Often information that is passed along becomes distorted and some serious damage could be done. I have seen a situation where a contract did not become fi rm, but a buyer many miles away heard that the house was sold. The buyer was interested but had the wrong information, and therefore a potential sale was lost. Also, if the price is known to others and the contract fails, then the next offer will certainly not be any higher than the one previously negotiated.

The best policy is to listen to your realtor and do not say anything until your home has really been sold.

Q

GRANT McMASTER, CGA

I operate a small business as a sole proprietorship. Should I consider incorporating?

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether or not to incorporate. Indi-viduals often consider incorporating in order to minimize legal liability and taxes. This column will focus on some of the basic tax advantages. If your corporation operates an “active” busi-ness there may be opportunities to signifi cantly reduce taxes payable, since the marginal tax rate on the fi rst $500,000 of active business income is currently taxed only at about 14% in BC, while the highest marginal tax rate for individuals is almost 44%. If you are able to leave the income in the corporation (i.e. you do not need it to fund your personal expenditures), or if you are able to split the income with your adult family members, you may be able to take advantage of signifi cant tax deferrals and/or tax savings.For additional analysis with respect to your par-ticular situation, please contact myself or your personal tax advisor.

Q Should I have my Air Conditioning Serviced Yearlyeven if I don’t use it all the time?

Most vehicle owners never bother to think of their air conditioning until they reach over to turn their vehicle’s air conditioning on that hot summer day.

You should have your vehicle air conditioning serviced as per the factory recommended schedules or at least once a year before the summer months.

It’s not a good idea to let the A/C system in your vehicle sit for long periods of time in most cases you should be using it all year long. The air conditioning system runs on a gas (r134a) and together with refrigerant oil they work at lubricating parts within the system. When the a/c system sits unused for long periods of time you have the potential to developleaks, have the systemdry out and becomeinoperable.

What are some specifi c examples of UV changes in the eye?

Our sun sends out powerful ultra-violet (UV) radiation that can induce changes to the skin around the eye, changes to the front surface of the eye, changes to the lens and, fi nally, changes to the rear of the eye called the retina. - Longterm UV exposure to the skin around the eye can

lead to cancerous changes. - Longterm UV exposure to the front surface can cause

unsightly bumps and growths. - Longterm UV exposure to the lens can result in earlier

cataract formation than normal. - Longterm UV exposure to the retina can lead to develop

ment of macular degeneration.

For these reasons, EVERYONE should wear UV protective eyewear; either with a UV400 coating in your glasses, or with good sunglasses, or while wearing UV blocking contact lenses.

What skills do most employers value?

The skills that are most valued by employers today are what we call the “soft skills” meaning self management and interpersonal skills. The ability to adapt to change, handle “on the job” stresses and conflict are important in a highly competitive and service oriented economy. Most workers who lose their jobs, usually lose their jobs because of resistance to change, poor attitude and lack of interpersonal skills. To learn more about change management, stress management and conflict resolution, we offer half day workshops as partof our 3 week full time career planning program.If you have any questions regarding our services, please give us a call.

AQ Why is good posture important? Is their anyway I

can improve my posture?

Good posture generally refers to a symmetrical alignment of the body namely; the body is in a biomechanical stable position, whereby there is an equal distribution of weight bearing stress across the body. A stable posture requires an equal leg length, level pelvis and a spine with no excessive rotation, displacement or asymmetry. This results in an efficient distribution of loading across the joint surfaces and balanced stability from the stabilizing muscles. It is important to maintain a good posture during sleep, work, sport and recreational activities. Strengthening the stability muscles of the neck, shoulders, mid and lower back, stomach and pelvis serves to hold the body in the neutral or mid-line position. The symmetrical pull of the stabilizing muscles assists in keeping the spine in the correct postural position. A biomechanical assessment is required to identify any musculoskeletal factors that result in poor posture. A customized exercise program would focus on strength, flexibility, postural alignment / education , muscular endurance and core stabilization.

Can using a computer damage my eyes?

No, there is no emitting radiation from the computer monitor that can damage ocular tissues. However, using a computer for prolonged periods can lead to computer vision syndrome (CVS). Symptoms of CVS include frontal headaches, eye strain, inability to focus properly, dry eye symptoms and general fatigue. Solutions to relieve CVS are in the placement of the monitor, computer anti-fatigue eyeglasses, and periodic breaks from viewing. As back to school approaches, remember that children can also suffer from CVS, not just adults.

How do you know if a property listed on the MLS® is fairly priced?

The Multiple Listing Service indicates a specific price for each property. But how do you know if the list price is fair? One that’s on par with similar property in the area?Buyers who choose a licensed REALTOR to represent their interests have easy access to unbiased comparable information. This info - known within the real estate industry as ‘comparables’ – specifies lesser known details relating to the specific property and properties in the surrounding area, often providing additional insight not detailed in the MLS listing.Your REALTOR can also determine the buy-sell history of any property, the availability of similar property in the area, and whether or not there are competing bids – information which is crucial in assessing the fairness of the listed asking price, and making an educated purchase offer.

Grant McMaster, CGa

How does pension income splitting work and what are its benefits?

Since 2007, individuals have been able to trans-fer up to 50% of their eligible pension income to their spouse for tax purposes. Generally, eligible pensions include payments from a superannuation or pension plan and (only if the individual is over 65 years old or if the payments are received as the result of the death of a spouse) payments from a RRIF or RRSP annuity. If the pension earner is in a higher tax bracket than the spouse, the splitting of eligible pension income has the potential to significantly reduce the family’s overall tax liability by minimizing the amount of income that is taxed at a higher rate. There may be additional tax savings by allowing both spouses to claim the $2,000 credit for eligible pension income. In order to make this claim, both spouses must make a joint election on form T1032 when filing their personal tax returns each year. For additional information on this issue, please contact me at your convenience.

Q What are some job market trends?

Great question. Let's look at this from a few angles. Right now Human Resources and Sales Administrators are hot jobs. Meaning they are the most requested jobs from local companies to fill. Dropping off a resume, or applying in person, is an en vogue as far as searching for work. Further, putting a picture on your resume seems to be making a comeback. On the business front, we are up 50% year over year, so there is more optimism in the market place, and more companies are hiring than last year.

If you want a new job, beat the September crush. Get your resume out now before everyone starts applying for work after their kids go back to school.

JAY MYSHKOWSKY

Thank you that is a great question. The short answer is easy; the long answer is four fold. First, we have just as many people marketing tocompanies in Surrey and the Fraser Valley as many of the larger corporations do. Second, we attract many of the same job seekers byadvertising our job opportunities on many of the same websites. Third and very importantly, we are local. What this means is that our staff live in Surrey and the Fraser Valley so we understand the market. Our managers haven’t been platooned in from England and other parts unknown. Finally, and most importantly, our pricing is competitive because we do not carry a large administrative staff, we do not need to cover the losses of some far away offi ce, and we are not mandated by a head offi ce in the US to place our offi ces in high rent space. These are real dollar savings which are passed on to you. So, your dollars stay in BC, you see the same great people, sourced by local and knowledgeable recruitment staff, and all of this is available at a very reasonable rate.

Ask The ExpertHow can your local company compete with the large corporations in your industry?

1. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp oil with garlic paste. Massage into the meat, cover and refrigerate overnight.2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove “steaks” from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 15 min. Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Salt steaks, then place in hot skillet and cook on each side for 2 min. Transfer to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Roast in oven for 15 min. or until internal temperature of 160°F is reached, for medium rare, turning halfway through. Reserve meat on a plate and cover loosely with foil.3. Meanwhile, mix water with cornstarch in a small bowl to create a slurry. Reserve. Place the same skillet used for meat back on the stove on medium-high. Add broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape the caramelized bits off the bottom of the pan (deglaze). When broth begins to boil, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 min., until sauce is slightly thickened.4. Thinly slice meat against the grain, plate and drizzle 1 tbsp sauce over each portion.

Healthly living is a priority for British Columbia and this government. Through our Healthy Living and Sport Ministry and the ActNowBC initiative, we are investing resources to ensure British Columbians have the resources, services and information needed to improve their standard of living. There are many ways you can be active. Small, simple things like taking the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to the corner

instead of driving. If you do the following four things, exercise regularly, eat reasonably well, maintain a healthy body weight and not smoke, you can reduce your risk of chronic health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and many forms of cancer by up to 80%. Do your bit, be active!
