Five-year racing deal inkedBy Jennifer LangMembers of B.C.’s harness racing
industry – particularly the horse-men at Fraser Downs – are breath-ing a sigh of relief.
Stakeholders reached agreement last Friday on a deal that guaran-tees live racing at Fraser Downs, and extends the funding arrange-ment, for the next fi ve years.
Th e multi-year deal was agreed to by Great Canadian Gam-ing Corp., which operates Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino and Hastings Racecourse, and the stan-dardbred and thoroughbred sector.
Th e deal, fi nalized by the B.C. Horse Racing Industry Manage-ment Committee, is subject to ap-proval by the provincial Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.
“We feel this will create an atmo-sphere of stability that will benefi t breeders, owners, trainers, bettors and race track personnel,” manage-ment committee chair Douglas S. Scott said in a statement, explain-ing racing and funding arrange-ments are in place for the thor-oughbred sector for the next three years and provides for a six-month
season of up to 55 race days.“With the funding arrangements
stabilized, the committee will now turn our attention to the longer-term issues of attracting new bet-tors and growing the business.”
Th e agreement sets out 34 ap-proved race days at Fraser Downs between January and April in 2014, with another 37 race days sched-uled in the fall, from September to December – for a total of 71 days.
But the deal means the season at Fraser Downs will shrink from 71 to 62 days over seven months in 2015, and to just six months in 2016, something local horsemen have been lobbying against.
“Of course we would like more race dates,” said Jackson Whittup, executive director of Harness Rac-ing B.C., the association represent-ing standardbred breeders, owners, trainers and drivers.
“Th e major component of this for us is the fi ve-year deal,” he said. “We’ve been told we have govern-ment backing for fi ve years. We have race dates for fi ve years. I think a lot of other jurisdictions would be jealous that we have it.”
Th e deal says income from a por-tion of slot machine profi ts at the casinos at Fraser Downs and at Hastings Racecourse will continue to be divided between the stan-dardbred and thoroughbred sector.
Reaction in the backstretch to the deal is mixed because it means a six-month racing schedule for
four years, says standardbred own-er and trainer Sandra Roberts.
“Some people believe we’ve just slit our own throats,” she said. “I look at it as an opportunity to grow.” Five years of guaranteed racing means breeders, for exam-ple, will have an incentive to breed foals, a lifeline for the industry.
For Whittup, it also means time for the association to pursue otherracing options during the summer.
“We’ve been given time to go outand execute some of those optionsfor our members’ sake,” he said.
“Could we possibly race twomonths during the summer at Ka-mloops or another venue? Obvi-ously, there’s a cost.”
Holding exhibition races at an-other track is another possibility,he added.
Racing is underway at FraserDowns to the end of April and re-sumes in September. It’s anticipat-ed racing will begin at Hastings in late April or early May, continuingto November.
Th e deal ends several months of tense negotiations.
“Call it reluctant consensus,” said Chuck Keeling, executive directorof stakeholder relations at Great Canadian Gaming, which operates both race tracks.
“We wanted to see some cer-tainty and some stability over a multiple number of years,” he said.“Over the last couple of years, it’sbeen done on a year-to-year basis.”
JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSean Davie and Alex Suenaga of Original Joe’s in Clover-dale will be serving up Irish Stew for walk participants.
Walk marks kitchen’s grand openingBy Jennifer LangIt may be billed as the Coldest Night of
the Year, but a delicious reward awaits par-ticipants in this Saturday evening’s walk to raise operating funds for the new Clo-verdale Community Kitchen – a bowl of hearty Irish stew.
Volunteers from Original Joe’s, a trendy eatery in the historic Cloverdale town cen-tre, will be serving up bowls full of their St. Patrick’s Day delicacy: Guinness Irish Stew – enough for 300 hungry hikers and assorted volunteers.
Earlier this week, 26 teams had already pledged upwards of $29,000 towards the new kitchen – well on the way to meeting a target of $30,000 for the Cloverdale walk.
Th e Feb. 22 event, part of a nation-wide initiative focusing on homelessness and raising money to address their needs, in-
volves a two-, fi ve- or 10-km walk on be-half of the new kitchen, hosted and built by Pacifi c Community Church.
Th e event also marks the grand opening of the kitchen, a commercial-grade facil-ity constructed this fall aft er the congrega-tion raised $400,000 in cash and in-kind donations. Now complete, the kitchen is already serving up hot meals and nour-ishment for local individuals and families, but it’s not yet known what the operational costs will be, said Cloverdale walk director Jim Heuving.
Currently, there’s a Monday Night Cafe run by volunteers from Pacifi c Commu-nity Church, and a hot lunch Th ursdays off ered by volunteers from the Korean Presbyterian church, but more communi-ty participation will be encouraged to help meet the need through new programs.
“Th e question will be how to we make the kitchen more accessible?” he said.
Heuving expects at least 200 walkers,but they’re bracing for more, particularly as new registrations come in this week.
It’s one of three walks taking place in Surrey – the other two are helping the Sur-rey Urban Mission and Sources Commu-nity Resources Society – but as of Tuesday, Cloverdale was sitting at 11th out of 63 communities in terms of pledges.
“Cloverdale has really responded in a great way, they should be proud,” he said.
Several local sponsors are helping out with the walk, including PriceSmart and Original Joe’s restaurant, which will be serving up stew. Sean Davie, general man-ager, said he jumped at the chance to get

More live music happenin’An 11-year-old solo artist and two up-and-com-
ing bands are the star attractions this Saturday eve-ning at Happenin’ Heights IV – fourth in a series of live music events at a coff ee house in Clayton Heights.
Like the three previous live music evenings, the event will showcase local up-and-coming solo art-ists and bands in a relaxed setting where audiences can gather over food and refreshments.
Madison Bell is young, but she’s been performinging for the last two years at local talent contests,
festivals and coff ee shops. She also sang “on the big stage” at Surrey’s Canada Day event, says Happenin’ Heights organizer Greg Eymondson.
She’s “only 11 years old yet sings like a seasoned rock star!” he says.
Crossroads is a quartet of teens who play hard-
driving tunes by Led Zeppelin and Th e Who, while Th e Jon Harris Band is performing an acoustic set.
Th e group is also pleased to announce a sponsor-ship agreement with Tom Lee Music (Langley).
“With a bigger, more professional sound system and an ever-expanding talent pool, this next event should be the best yet!” Ey-mondson says.
Th e performances get underway at 7 p.m., Feb. 22 at Wired Monk Coventry, 103 18408 64 Avenue.
You’re advised to get there early to ensure a good seat; the evenings are “growing exponentially” in popularity, through social media and by word-of-mouth, he adds.

Non-profi t organizations and groups can email their special events to [email protected] Council decision in Clayton
sends the wrong messageTo the editor;Re: “Queue-jumping developers in Clayton
rankle city councillor,” Feb. 13Mayor Watts and Councillor Rasode are
not alone in their concern over the decision made at the Feb. 3 council meeting to allow several developers’ applications for re-zoning to move ahead in advance of the approval of an NCP for the area. It was noted in the corpo-rate report that there were developments ap-proved outside of the NCP already and in my view those approvals will be used as leverage
to get these ones approved. I would respect-fully request that Council not go further down this road as it sends the wrong message to developers and I fear there will be no end
to applications like this.I take exception to the state-
ment attributed to a real estate agent speaking on behalf of one of the property owners involved where he claims that “there is very little single family lots avail-
able”. Most certainly this is not the case. Late last year I attended a presentation of three concept plans for development of an area in
Clayton called Aloha Estates. All three plans included single family lots. My own NCP has seen approval of four developments over the past year totalling over 130 single family lots.
Given concerns raised by Engineering, Parks and Rec, Surrey School District and Planning in addition to the “challenges” al-ready faced in Clayton – I am disappointed and ask that council revisit their decision andhold fi rm on development until an NCP has been approved.
Linda StrombergSurrey
To the editor
Allowing re-zoning applications to go ahead outside of NCP process simply opens the door
Th ese letters were submitted to the Cloverdale Reporter prior to the announcement on the new fi ve-year agreement governing harness racing (see page 1).
Vital to economyTo the editor;I run a stable of horses and
would love to be able to stay in B.C. year round and contrib-ute to the economy, buy meals in local restaurants and stores, buy feed from local suppliers, fuel from local companies, shop in local stores, etc. etc., but pro-posed changes to shorten our racing seasons... would make this impossible. Most of the indus-try would be forced to leave the province and take their economic benefi ts with them.
Th e original spirit of the deci-sion by Surrey council to allow
slot machines at Fraser Downs was in recognition of the impor-tance of the horse industry to this area, and it seems that has been forgotten.
We need protection from the government to ensure that our racing seasons are of suffi cient duration to keep our industry healthy and keep our industry in the province of B.C., where it will do its benefi ts to the local economy.
A year-round, healthy, racing industry is vital to this area, and needs to be protected. I want to stay here, I don’t want to pack up my business and leave.
Darren LupulCloverdale
Livelihoods at stakeWe are hearing that the Ca-
sino is proposing to cut our race
days and without this the indus-try as a whole will be forced to lose their livelihood. It will have a lasting impact on the owners of standardbred horses, trainers, farmers, for hay production, to breeding and foaling our horses, grooms, stable hands, kitchen staff , table staff , security, vets and their staff , not to forget the nega-tive impact on surrounding busi-nesses.
We need more dates to work with, not less. Without this our industry will die a slow death. People will abandon the industry or head to Alberta or further east to keep going.
Pamela Plunkett
Ripple effectNot only is there the loss of
jobs at the track, there is also theloss of revenue for the businessessurrounding the track in Clover-dale. Th ey have previously takenout ads in support of the longerrace season and the heritage of our sport.
And the ripple eff ect goes onto aff ect the tack shops, vets,feed stores farms and agriculture throughout the province. Notonly does it aff ect Cloverdale butthe breeding and turnout farmsscattered throughout the prov-ince, and the vets and farriersand feed producers in those sur-rounding areas.
It is pretty clear that there isno tomorrow for negotiating, thefuture is now, and it seems weare being pushed to the tippingpoint.

VOICE OF COMMERCEthe voice of business in the community of Cloverdale
February 17, 2014, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers
of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province.
This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bring to their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all British Columbians.
And this leadership delivers results. Just this month, B.C.’s Chamber network, working in partnership with the B.C. government, was able to deliver a signifi cant win for B.C.’s businesses: key, business-friendly changes to a recycling regulation that had caused concern in business communities across B.C.
Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely with a responsive government, more than 99 per cent of B.C.’s businesses will face no red tape or fees under this recycling regulation, which deals with packaging and printed paper.
And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses. Among many
areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice:
• encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government;
• calling for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and
• encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development.
As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambers throughout the province are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fi scal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specifi c issues.
At the local level, Chambers throughout B.C. are catalysts for change, bringing together business and community leaders to fi gure out how to take each community forward.
So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunity to swing by your local Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, join in on some Chamber Week events, and celebrate the leadership, energy and can-do attitude that B.C.’s Chambers bring to our communities.
Getting results for B.C. businessBy the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce
Langley MLA and MInister of the Environment Mary Polak, John Winter, president and CEO of the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce, and Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for small business, get ready to celebrate.

The Business Council of British Columbia, a non-partisan organization that represents a broad spectrum of private companies and post-secondary institutions, recently released its semi-annual publication BC Economic Review and Outlook for 2014. The report, released on Jan. 21, forecasts economic conditions to improve over the next two years.
Gross Domestic Product in B.C. is expected to grow by 2.3 per cent this year, the council said. That’s a big improvement over the estimated 1.3 per cent growth we had in 2013. The council also thinks 2015 will be even brighter, with real GDP rising by more than three per cent. The reasons given for this predicted growth include stronger economies in the U.S. and Europe.
In Asia, China continues its “relatively robust expansion,” said the report from the council. The loonie is down against the U.S. dollar, which is actually a boon for B.C.’s tourism sector as well as those who earn a living exporting goods and services. The lower dollar is good news for retailers in Surrey-Cloverdale, as there’s less incentive for cross-border shopping.
Our government is helping keep our economy strong by working with industry to open new mines and benefi t from our abundance of natural resources. LNG projects will be a major reason for the health of the province’s economy, said the chief economist of the business council, Ken Peacock, who helped write the 2014 report.
Last week, the Speech from the Throne articulated our government’s vision. A plan, unwavering, to deliver on our plan to grow a strong economy, to secure tomorrow for British Columbia. The plan starts with controlling spending to balance the budget – as we did last year, and will again this year. We will leverage our province’s strengths to open new markets for our goods and attract investment - to create jobs here at home.
Good news for Surrey and everyone in British Columbia!

WORKING FOR YOU WITH HONESTY & INTERGRITY
YOUR HOME MAY BE THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT YOU’LL EVER MAKE. That means you want to be smart with your mortgage. Although we can’t say for sure what mortgage rates will do – or how the housing market will shift – we have compiled our top tips for the year ahead; sensible strategies for today’s homebuyers and owners.
1. Variables are back. Several lenders are off ering strong “prime minus” rates that could save you thousands in interest. And the Bank of Canada is still holding their key “overnight rate” very steady and very low… making variable-rate mortgages a sensible option right now. Fixed versus variable has always been a challenging mortgage decision. Let us help you decide which fi nancing option best meets your needs.
2. Don’t sleepwalk through your mortgage renewal. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to save thousands on your mortgage. When your lender sends you a letter saying it’s time to renew… then it’s time to get an expert second opinion. We’re independent and we have access to over 50 lenders. If there’s a better deal, we’ll fi nd it.
3. Pay your phone bill on time! Paying your bills on time has always been the most important credit habit. Equifax recently started to include phone
companies on credit bureau reports – so your lender can see if you have any delinquencies with your phone bills. Look like a good borrower.
4. Keep other good credit habits. Don’t let your credit accounts exceed 30 per cent of your limit. Don’t cancel an old credit card without getting advice. And don’t sign up for store cards: they often have crazy interest rates, and the application triggers a credit inquiry (you don’t want a lot of those).
5. Mortgage versus total debt. Do you have high-interest debt outside your mortgage that you won’t be able to pay off in the next few months? Then think about rolling that debt into a new low-rate mortgage. This one, smart strategy could save you thousands… and boost your monthly cash fl ow. We can analyze your situation to see if you qualify.
6. What’s the prepayment penalty? Don’t let anyone tell you prepayment penalties are “all the same”. They’re not. If you ever need to get out of your mortgage early, the right mortgage could save you thousands. Not all lenders calculate penalties the same way, and the diff erences can be substantial. It helps to know which lenders have the most fair prepayment penalties. With access to dozens of lenders – we’ve got that information at our fi ngertips.

7. If one of you wants to keep the marital home. If you are going through a separation or divorce and one of you wants to keep the marital home, we’ve got some great mortgage options, including a mortgage to 95 per cent. Your home can be the asset that gives you both a fresh start!
8. A paydown will pay it forward. Take every opportunity to beat down your mortgage principal using any prepayment privileges! Use tax refunds, bonuses, whatever. Or switch to weekly or bi-weekly payments. Every dollar you pay down on principal means every
future payment goes further.9. Thinking renovation? We see
what you see. Your reno will add value to your home. That’s why we have a special “Refi nance Plus Improvements” mortgage that lets you refi nance up to 80 per cent of the new, post-reno value of your home.
10. Come in for a checkup. Your mortgage needs an annual checkup. Really. Life doesn’t stand still, which means your needs may have changed. Even a minor tweak can pay big dividends. Give us a call at 604.576.1412 – you’ll be glad you did!
