Racing fans face extinction By Jennifer Lang An iPhone betting application that lets betters play the ponies and “newbie nights” for beginners are two ways the horse racing industry can chase down a younger demographic, callers to a radio talk show suggested last Friday. Attracting new blood to the racetracks at Fraser Downs and Hastings Park is one of the big challenges facing B.C.’s horse racing industry, which finds itself
at a critical juncture, according Howard Blank, vice-president of Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which runs both tracks. Racing has been in decline since the 1980s, Blank said, appearing on a CKNW talk show Aug. 24 to speak about the future of the industry. Older racing fans have been “literally dying off ” as new forms of gambling have proliferated, but the new generation isn’t embracing horse racing, he said.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Ultimate BBQ Chicken
From front page
PREP TIME: 5 min. Total time: 1 hour and 15 min. Serves: 8
2 whole 3 lb chickens with backbone removed 2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Pepper 1-1/2 cups Compliments Original Barbecue Sauce
1. Preheat grill to high. Season chickens on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, bone side down. Turn heat down to medium-low and close the lid. If your grill has a thermometer, it should drop to 350°F (180°C); if it drops below that, adjust the temperature. 2. Cook chickens for 15 min. before turning skin side down. After another 15 min., turn chickens skin side up again and cook 15 min. longer, for a total cooking time of 45 min. This will promote even cooking without burning or drying out the meat. 3. Brush a generous layer of sauce on chicken skin and turn skin side down again for 10 min. Repeat on bone side and cook until an instantread thermometer registers 185°F (85°C) at the thickest part of a breast or thigh. Remove chickens from grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

owned by Great Canadian. But the slots have been “a stop gap measure” that have “absolutely” kept horse racing alive, Blank said. Now a fundamental change is needed to put the industry on solid ground. Race dates at Fraser Downs have been scaled back by 30 per cent for the remainder of 2010, with the 2011 season in limbo for now, while a governmentappointed committee studies long-term solutions. Blank said he believes significant changes to horse racing will take place in 2010. “This is a crucial juncture.” Hot tub parties at Hastings Park are one way Great Canadian has already tried in promoting racing to a younger crowd. Part of the challenge, he said, is racing is a slowerpaced activity than slots and tables. “I think a younger audience is used to instant gratification, they’re used to Wiis and Xboxes.” Shutting one racetrack down and consolidating both racing styles at one facility is one of the “myriad of options” under review by the Horse Racing Industry Management Committee, Blank said. “I promise you racing is here to stay,” said, not elaborating whether he was talk-

Open to promotion ideas From front page
It’s an uphill battle. He said the market is fading as horse racing gamblers age and younger generations opt instead for faster paced gambling options like slots or online gaming. But Blank said recent promotions at Hastings suggest both tracks can benefit from events like special parties, concerts and celebrity visits to add more excitement and
interest between races. “We’re open to almost anything,” he said, adding increased cross-promotion with other casinos is another option. Cloverdale chamber spokesman Bill Reid said better promotion is key, suggesting Great Canadian’s efforts so far have been minimal. “Fraser Downs is the best kept secret in the Lower Mainland,” Reid said. – With files from Jeff Nagel

Backpack campaign launched
JENNIFER LANG PHOTO
Nancy McDonnell, left, and Jane Kramer of La Belle Vie in Cloverdale with some of the back-to-school donations of backpacks and supplies that people have been dropping off at the store.
Then you get to school and there’s all these fees. And the clothes,” she says. “You know, if it helps make it easier for a couple people, that’s all we’re looking to do.” Kramer says helping out can
be as simple as picking up a few extra school supplies to donate while shopping for your own children. “It’s something easy for people to participate in,” she said. Another suggestion is to look
through your child’s school supplies from last year to see if there’s anything that would be suitable to donate. “I know just going through my own kids’ school supplies there’s often something brand new from the year before. So people don’t even have to purchase, it can just be new items that haven’t been used.” Kramer says she’s pleased with the results of her campaign, so far. When one local senior asked how much new backpacks cost and was told they can be picked up for as low as $10, she handed Kramer $20 and said, “Go buy two, then.” Kramer will be collecting backpacks and other new items through the first weeks of September, then she’ll donate them to George Greenaway Elementary and possibly other local schools for distribution to students. Donations can be dropped off at her store, La Belle Vie, at 5709 176 Street. Call 778-5712442 for more information.
FEE GALLER at the Tate

By Jennifer Lang Tuesday, it’s back to school for students across Cloverdale, but as every parent knows, shopping for all those school supplies can really add up. But not every family can afford all the new items their child needs to start the new school year off on the right foot. That’s why this summer local businesswoman Jane Kramer quietly launched a campaign to collect new backpacks and other unused supplies for local elementary students. “It’s nice to have a new backpack,” she says. “It feels good to go to school when you have something new. Especially if everybody else has a brand new one.” Kramer, who has three kids of her own – Bailey, 17, MacKenzie, 15, and Cole, 13 – knows how quickly all those those necessary little items like binders, pens, notebooks, and crayons can rip a hole in the sturdiest family budget. “It’s very expensive,” she says. “And that’s just school supplies.

Seasons come, and Seasons Go I love summer, and sometimes wish that it would last year round. I enjoy the heat of the sun. I love to be at the beach and to be outdoors in shorts and sandals. However, it’s beginning to feel like fall again - the summer heat wave is cooling off and the days are getting shorter. While summer may not quite be over, its end will surely come, as it does every year. Reflecting on this reminded me of a passage in the Bible, Genesis 8:22. There, the Lord assures us that: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” He said this shortly after the great flood waters had dried up off the earth and Noah and the animals came off the ark to live on it once again. God promised that the order of the seasons, as he had created them in the beginning, would continue as long as the earth exists. So, while I may wish for year-long summers, the changing seasons remind me of the faithfulness of God. My experience of the end of summer reassures me that he is faithful to that promise made so long ago. And, if he keeps that promise, I also have confidence that he is true to all of his promises. The Bible is full of them: promises of his love, his nearness, and life without end in a world without suffering – the list is endless! So, as you ponder the end of summer, why not pick up your Bible and discover the wealth of sure promises made by God that can be yours as well? In fact, we invite you to join us on Sundays as we do just that. By George Gunnink This column is sponsored by the

loving it. I was thinking of buying a couple of horses next year because I love horses and the excitement but now I don’t think I will. Great Canadian Gaming Corporation should be ashamed of themselves. This is a hard-working family who knows nothing else but racing. They believed it when they said the casino will be good for
them. Look at the mess they made. They put too much in Hastings Park and leave Cloverdale to struggle. They need Cloverdale to help them keep the track.

Casinos are turning people into zombies To the editor; Isn’t it typical of businessmen to want to make the most money with the least expenditures? Casinos and online gambling are the winners here, and the horse racing industry is the casualty, but what’s better for the public – the casinos and online gambling that are turning the population into zombies, and that offer no entertainment other than taking your money? Or the horse racing industry that both
offers entertainment as well as feed the mind by studying the horses, reading programs, and trying to predict the winners by thinking, as well as employing hundreds more people. I guess from a business point of view only the money they can make themselves matters. And the government is no better, they are the ones truly responsible for this, and they care even less.

or their families. They don’t care. This track is the history of Cloverdale. Save it! I used to love this town because it was all about country farmers, cowboys, the parade, families, rodeo, the flea market. The government needs to back off.

Alberta swapped winter stat for one in August To the editor; Re: “Family Day fans want new holiday”, Aug. 20 In the article about “Family Day” what is missing is that Alberta gave up the August holiday in favour of Heritage Day in February, except for federally regulated agencies such as Canada Post which kept the August holiday instead of February.

Blood donors wanted
Clinic organizers issue a plea for donors over the long weekend By Jennifer Lang More Cloverdale residents are being urged to sign up as blood donors at Sunday’s clinic. At least 50 more donors are needed for the Sept. 5 clinic, the Canadian Blood Services Agency announced earlier this week, asking more volunteers to come forward to book appointments over the Labour Day long weekend, a time when it’s traditionally been difficult to get enough donors. “Long weekends always pose a challenge for us, as many of our regular donors are unable to give due to travel plans or family commitments,” Stephanie Herger, community development coordinator for the Surrey area, said. And because one donation is
separated into three products that will help three different patients, those 50 donors represent assisting up to 150 patients in need. Cloverdale has its own blood donor clinic, something even regular donors might not be aware of, Herger said. Canadian Blood Services visits Cloverdale once every eight weeks, meaning residents who wish to donate blood don’t have to travel to Langley or other parts of Surrey to do so. Cloverdale’s next blood clinics also fall on difficult days, Halloween (Oct. 31) and Boxing Day (Dec. 26). Donors can give blood every eight weeks, so the clinics are offered on a rotating schedule in an

attempt to provide people with the maximum opportunity to donate. “Sometimes that means having a couple of difficult clinics in a row,” Herger said. “That’s why we’re urging all residents of Cloverdale to come out and support their local blood donor clinic for the remainder of 2010.” Sunday’s blood clinic runs Sept. 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Cloverdale’s Catholic church (Sacred Blood Roman Catholic Parish), 17475 59 Avenue. Organizers have set a target of 85 donations. Call 1-888-2-DONATE (1888-236-6283) for information or to book an appointment; appointments are recommended to reduce clinic wait times.

PICNICS PLANNED Working people in the Fraser Valley and across the world gather Monday to celebrate Labour Day. The B.C. Federation of Labour hosts its annual Labour Day picnic at Central Park in Burnaby, where the celebration of solidarity runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 6. There will be food, music and games for the kids. The B.C. Federation of Labour represents more than half a million workers in B.C. Marie Clark Walker, executive vice presi-
dent of the Canadian Labour Council will be there, along with other speakers. This year marks the Fraser Valley Labour Council’s first-ever annual Labour Day Picnic. It’s happening at Mill Lake Park (Bevan Road entrance) in Abbotsford, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bring your family, friends and coworkers. The event includes entertainment, food, kids events, and solidarity. The Fraser Valley Labour Council, chartered in 2007, has 12,000 members, representing union members from Abbotsford,
Chilliwack, Hope, Mission, Agassiz, Harrison, Lytton, and Boston Bar areas. Labour Day was declared a national holiday in 1894. It has its roots in the labour movement, which led to the creation of an eight-hour work day and other rights.
HWY 99 FACELIFT A stretch of Highway 99 between the Nicomekl River in Surrey and the Highway 17 underpass in Delta is being resurfaced.
The $3 million project is scheduled for completion by Oct. 3. The provincial government is contributing $1.65 million, with the remaining funds coming from the federal government. The resurfacing work is one of 21 B.C. projects to benefit from $42 million in funding – money that comes from accumulated savings that resulted from competitive bidding on previously announced highway projects, Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux said. –

MLAs mull HST petition
The legislative committee in charge of deciding what to do with the HST petition calling for a repeal of the tax will get to work on Wednesday, now that MLAs are heading back from their summer vacations. The all-party committee has until December to decide what it will do with former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm’s Anti-HST citizen initiative, signed by more than half a million British Columbia voters. Last month, Elections B.C. declared the petition valid after checking over 705,000 names, and declaring 557,383 signatures – and the petition – valid. The number of signatures gathered in SurreyCloverdale was 9,094, well ahead of the 15 per cent target of 5,934 organizers set. Of those, 7,408 were declared valid by Elections B.C. The fate of the petition had been held up by business groups, who mounted an unsuccessful lawsuit. B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman said the matter belonged in the hands of legislators. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer (Liberal) is one of the members of the standing committee, which meets Sept. 8 to take its first look at the petition. Options include sending it to the legislature for debate or putting it to a province-wide vote in 2011. – Black Press

Cloverdale to host curling provincials The Cloverdale Curling Club will have a different look to it in January. A sheet of ice will be removed, bleachers will be installed at ice level and in the viewing area upstairs. It’s all to accommodate the large crowds expected watch the B.C. Women’s Provincial Championships Jan. 17-23, 2011. “We’re expecting 200 to 300 people a day,” said Sherry Russell, the chairperson of the organizing committee. “We’ll have 10 teams, with two draws a day, with the winner going to the Scott Tournament of Hearts in Prince Edward Island.” Draws are tentatively scheduled for noon and 7 p.m. each day during the round robin. Four teams will advance to a playoff round Jan. 2123. The Cloverdale club jumped at the opportunity to host the annual event, wanting to follow up on momentum created by the 2010 Olympic Games in February, in which Surrey was one of three venue cities in the Lower Mainland. “Surrey shined during the Olympics, so we wanted to jump on board,” said Russell. “It will be good to have it in Surrey, the athletes who will be competing will be good role models for our younger curlers.” An executive committee was finalized last week, tasked with the role of coordinating all that needs to be done over the next five months. One priority will be recruiting 300 to 400 volunteers. “We need expertise in hosting, ticket sales, and team liaison,” said Russell. “And construction, the set up will be huge for us. “And also we need to shout out to potential sponsors, to help us with this event.” Anyone interested in a volunteer position can contact Russell at russfam@telus.net – Black Press
