Horsemen lash cuts
Heart of Cloverdale threatened as Fraser Downs moves to fewer races
By Jennifer Lang Is the sun about to set on harness racing at Fraser Downs? That 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 standardbred 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 Another big worry is the news all races in 2011 have been temporarily rescinded while long-term solutions are sought.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 officials are hopeful, they’re offering no assurances that there will be any racing at all next year. “They’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 Industry Management Committee, sent to industry members Aug. 13. The 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 unacceptable,” Hill said. “The stability needs to be there. We need

to be on solid ground. Taking away race dates isn’t it.” The 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. “The harness racing people are getting the short end of the stick,” Hill said. He says it will be difficult 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 standardbred racing dies out – something he believes could happen 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 remain viable. Instead of a nine-month season from October to June, the committee is looking at splitting the standardbred season in half, with four months at Fraser Downs and another four See ‘THIS IS MY LIFE’ / Page 2

Simmie and Charanjit Johal from Cloverdale Farm Market were all smiles last Saturday at the blueberry festival.
By Jennifer Lang Thousands of people crowded into downtown Cloverdale for the blueberry festival last weekend, braving scorching temperatures and mercilessly sunny skies. The glint of metal, the shine of wellpolished chrome and the sparkle of spiffy 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 – double last year’s participation at the event. The result was a kaleidoscope of custom paint job colours – from aqua blues, melon 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 longrunning king of the pie-eating contest, according 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. The Cloverdale Blueberry Festival also featured a juried art show, a craft fair, vendors, musical performances at various locations and more. The Antique Tractor Pull, a two-day
event hosted for the first time at Fraser Downs Racetrack, attracted participants from across the Fraser Valley. About 200 spectators gathered to watch vintage farm vehicles prove their mettle. The free trolley rides proved popular this year, with lineups forming early as festival-goers declared defeat in the heat and opted for transit rather than walking to other venues. Presented by the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, the seventh annual festival drew crowds of up to 10,000 people, according to chamber president Bill Reid.

Air advisory issued for Metro region Jeff Nagel Wildfire smoke has again sparked an air quality advisory for the Lower Mainland. Metro Vancouver officials said they’ve de-
tected higher levels of fine particulate from Interior forest fires. The highest readings are being measured in coastal areas such as Tsawwassen, Rich-
mond, Vancouver Airport and the west side of Vancouver. “Due to the current spell of hot, sunny weather, ozone levels are also expected to be
elevated this afternoon in the region,” Metro air quality planner Julie Saxton said in the advisory issued just before noon Monday for Metro Vancouver and the
Fraser Valley Regional District. “Poor air quality conditions 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 Quality Health Index readings see http://www. bcairquality.com/readings/ Residents are advised they can reduce their exposure by avoiding strenuous outdoor activities. Infants, the elderly and those with underlying conditions like heart or lung disease are considered most at risk.
Anyone with symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing is advised to follow a health care provider’s advice. The advisory comes after a weekend heat wave set new high temperature records in parts of the Fraser Valley. More than 1,400 wildfires have been recorded so far this year, burning 175,000 hectares.

months in Alberta – a suggestion that was rejected outright by the Alberta Standardbred Horse Association. Board member William Andrew called the decision to cut race dates “shortsighted” and chastised BC Gaming and the provincial government for throwing the standardbred racing industry in B.C. to the wolves. “The time has come to hold accountable those who in their blind rush towards a future of mind numbing, addictive, repetitive online gaming are sacrificing a labour intensive, green industry that has traditionally provided entertainment, employment and revenue for generations in British Columbia,” he said. Local groomsmen, trainers, racers and owners are all caught in a bind, Hill says. Although reluctant to pull up stakes, they can’t afford to race just four months a year. “This is my life. For us, as horsemen, we have to start bringing horses into the barn now,” Hill said. With the first races of the season now delayed from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15, he’s facing additional feed and other costs. “That’s a few thousand dollars for the feed bills,” he said. Like an expensive race car sitting idling, “You still have to give it gas.” Between 400 and 500 people are employed at the backstretch at Fraser Downs. Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce executive director Bill Reid said Cloverdale will feel the impact. “Without a question, it’s our biggest industry,” Reid said.

Alyssa Gutierrez is one of 10 semi-finalists competing Monday in Red Robinson’s Talent Showdown at the PNE.
By Jennifer Lang With musical powerhouses like Joan Jett, Trooper, Wayne Newton and Cyndi Lauper set to perform, 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 finalist in Red Robinson’s Talent Showdown. Guterriez, who just turned 12 in May, is competing in the kid’s division against nine other semi
finalists. (There are youth and adult divisions, too.) If she survives, she could be headed for Wednesday’s finals, 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 someone twice her age. She also has another competitive edge – the PNE talent show-

Got an hour to spare? That’s plenty of time to hear more about how to make a difference in the lives of animals. Earlier this week, the BC SPCA is issued an appeal for volunteers. The 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. The Surrey branch has more than 300 active volunteers who help with everything from dog-walking, cat adoption counseling and rabbit fostering to taking part in special events, such as the upcoming Paws for A Cause fundraiser, Sept. 12 at Crescent Park. To apply online as a volunteer and to reg-
down isn’t exactly her first singing contest. A stack of trophies, medals and awards lines a shelf in the family kitchen, evidence of previous successes – including the 2009 PNT Singing Idol (kid’s division), and most recently the 2010 Valley Voices award (8 to 12 division), which she took home Aug. 2. That win earned her a spot at last weekend’s Rockin’ River music festival in Mission. She’s even opened for Filipina pop star Sarah Geronimo at See SIGHTS SET / Page 4

SENIOR FIREPOWER A Langley resident living in a senior’s complex was using a live hand grenade as a paperweight, RCMP said last week. The police were called to the residence late last month after family members who were helping the senior move discovered a grenade and two rounds of ammunition. The grenade was on a bookshelf, where it was being used as a paperweight. The 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.

Grab a lawn chair, bring a blanket, and settle down to drink in an enduring classic comedy in a park setting. The Bard in the Valley’s outdoor production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream continues its run in Langley to the end of August. It’s the perfect outing for a dreamy summer night. More than 1,000 people turned out for the first four performances 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-producer Diane Gendron said. The production is presented at Spirit Square Stage in Langley City’s Douglas Park Aug. 20-21 at 7 p.m. There’s also a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, Aug. 22. Admission is free. Next weekend, the production moves to the International Festival at Willoughby Park at

the Langley Events Centre for two final performances, also free; there’s one at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 and a 2 p.m. matinee Aug. 29. Director Allan Thain, who’s also the company’s artistic director, 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 and the Fraser Valley, like Bard on the Beach. With a cast of more than 30 actors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a major undertaking for the theatre company. For more details visit the Bard in the Valley Company’s website at www.bardinthevalley.com.

Time to re-open Too many hoops abortion debate To the editor, The 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 access to abortion. The 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 pregnancy! Another important finding of the survey is that Mike Schouten one third of Canadians 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 discussion? Why do the leaders of Conservative Party of Canada suppress any attempts by Canada’s citizens as well as their own MP’s

There are better solutions for how we protect the lives of unborn children. We need to have a sensible discussion 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 important topic.

To the editor; Re: “Surrey SPCA at capacity for cats and kittens,” Aug. 6 While it’s very unfortunate the amount of cats and kittens they have on hand, part of the problem is the SPCA itself. The adoption process (even without considering the cost) is almost as trying as applying 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 because of the regulations involved, and two weeks ago a friend came to the same conclusion. To be fair, the people who work there are truly animal lovers and generally very nice people. I think they do the best they can with the budget they have, but they have to make the process easier.

Feds are ‘burying’ census facts
Long form data used to allocate federal funds To the editor; Comprehensive census data is necessary for responsible government. Allocation of public funds and electoral districts alone are two areas with tremendous influence over society. Tweak the numbers here and there, just a little bit, and the Canadian people will lose billions
in privatization, loss of services, tax cuts for the wealthy and more corporate dominance. The Conservatives can’t argue with the results of well-funded, responsible government so they’re just trying to bury them. Jeff Moncalieri Cloverdale

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.
