More money for horse racing Victoria increases its financial support and sets it at a fixed amount to provide stability to the industry

Standardbred horses fly along the track at Fraser Downs.

By Jeff Nagel The province is injecting more gambling profits back into B.C.’s horse racing industry. Victoria previously gave out allocations to support and help run both standardbred and thoroughbred racing based on a share of revenues generated. But with revenue dropping, the operating and aid dollars were also set to dwindle, so the province has instead increased its grant to a fixed amount of $10 million per year. The move will provide stability and certainty in terms of government support, according to a Dec. 10 letter from Derek

Now in its 19th year, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program (CCHP) has been providing local families in need with hampers of food, gifts and toys. Last year alone over 250 families and individuals experienced just that little bit of joy that they needed to get them through the holiday season. This program is a combined effort between many local churches, schools, businesses and public organizations. The program is growing each year and we would appreciate your involvement with donations of food, cash, new merchandise and/or toys. No donation is too big or too small – it all adds up.

Their reinforcement boxes quickly filled, too. Payne said one morning, a boy brought in 41 items just to boost his classroom’s standings. “The thing that the kids really like about it is that it helps people directly in their area,” she said.

For the second year in a row, the Hazelgrove’s student leadership team – comprised of Grades 6s and 7s – helped organize the food drive, issuing a challenge to each class to see which could bring in the most donations. Last year the school raised just under 3,000 items for the program. By Monday’s tally, Hazelgrove students had collected 2,984 food, clothing, household items and toys. It was an amazing mountain of donations that spilled out into the foyer next to the school’s office. “We started with 10 boxes

ary School. This year’s food drive at Clayton Heights wrapped up Tuesday, when members of student council spent the day sorting donations – some 6,500 individual food items in all, plus adding up about $1,700 in cash. Sixty large collection boxes were placed throughout the school Dec. 1 to 14, and most were full by the end of the school’s 2010 food drive for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program. “It’s been a whole day at this,” student council representative Nalin Dhillon said, looking around the staff room, where order slowly replaced chaos as items were dumped out, sorted, then repacked into boxes organized by their contents. Clayton Heights consistently leads the pack in terms of school food drives for the program, which serves residents between 88 Avenue and 32 Avenue and from 196 Street to 152 Street. It’s now become a proud tradition to uphold, teacher sponsor Marc England said. “This is what we do well,” he said. The student leadership team at Hazelgrove Elementary, one of Cloverdale’s new-

With the busy Christmas shopping season in full swing, the Surrey RCMP’s District 4 office (Cloverdale/Port Kells) reminds local businesses to keep vigilant against skimming devices. Businesses should be performing daily visual checks of any ATMs and pin pads at their establishments as part of their morning routine in order to detect any unauthorized equipment or tampering. The warning comes because these skim-

ming devices continue to be found throughout the Lower Mainland. At one bank branch in Coquitlam, fraudsters had installed a skimming device in the card entry slot of an ATM machine and had placed a camera over the top of the keypad. A checklist of what to look for is available by calling Carrie Chattell, Crime Prevention Programs Coordinator, at 604-502-6266.

A few facts about the Legion Life member sets the record straight on how long Branch 6 has been chartered, the redevelopment vote and more To the editor; Re: “Yes to a new Legion”, Dec. 3 [In] Reference to the Reporter article in the Dec. 3, 2010 issue headlined ‘Yes to a new Legion’, that I think you might consider correcting. Firstly, the RCL Branch 6 has been chartered and in Cloverdale since March 19, 1927 or 83 years, and in its present location

since April 17, 1948 or 62 years. Secondly, the vote taken to go for a new legion was two-thirds of paid membership present at the meeting, not two-thirds of membership overall. Thirdly, I understand the new Legion will front on 57 Avenue not 57 A as the reference under the picture in the Reporter states. Just a note I may have missed at the meeting and has nothing to do with the Legion,

but it appears if they extend 57A Avenue from 176 Street then they would have to remove Hawthorne Square for a new street and this would lead right into or through the new building located in drawings on that site. David Garrett Life Member RCL Branch 6

Uncertain what impacts will flow from projects

By Brenda Anderson Reaction is mixed among business owners who could potentially be affected by the construction of three new railway overpasses and feeder routes along the Surrey-Langley border. The so-called Combo-Pack of the $300 million Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Program includes nine road-rail projects between Delta and Langley by 2014. Eight are overpass projects and one is a railway siding project. Of the three overpass projects on the Surrey-Langley border, the longest will be built along 196 Street, crossing the Langley Bypass in a developed business area with the other two on 192 street and 54 Avenue. Dan Springman, owner of Springman’s Saab, learned through the grapevine about plans to build the 196 Street overpass directly above his car dealership. “I haven’t seen the actual drawings,” he said. “I found out through a friend who has an engineering company that it’s going to be on top of me.” He has plenty of questions and so far very few answers. “How high will it be, where does it go? We don’t know anything. No one’s told me,” he said. “I’m concerned because we have no knowledge of it, and I think it will have a huge effect on us.” Springman also wonders what will happen with respect to a creek that runs behind his dealership. When he bought the property in 1997, he wanted to have a culvert installed, but his application was denied by the DFO. Now that there are plans for major construction in the area, he wonders how the issue of the creek will be addressed. “We weren’t allowed to put in a culvert, and then these guys come along, and who knows what they can do?” Across the Bypass, Doug Seal, manager of Willowbrook Chrysler, has some concerns about the project as well. “From a personal, selfish point

of view, I can’t see it doing anything good for my business,” he said, reacting to the design on the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor website, “but I understand they can’t stop the project for a neighbour who’s unhappy.” He’s also concerned with the lack of notice he’s received from the people in charge of the project. “It seems to have popped up by surprise. You’d think somebody would stop by and say ‘we’re doing this massive development right by your property.’” And he’s concerned the overpass could create further backups on an already-congested road. Aly Sunderji, owner of Samz Pub at the corner of 56 Avenue and the 196 Street right of way, sees some potential benefit in the project, which will include developing what is now a gravel lane into a two-lane road, south to 54 Avenue, and the installation of a traffic signal at the corner of 196 Street and 56 Avenue. He learned about the plans through a business associate, but the news didn’t come as a complete surprise. “We always knew it would be a road someday,” he said. The opening up of 196 Street will create more traffic and potentially more exposure for his pub, Sunderji believes. However, it will also mean that Samz will lose the overflow parking spaces along the lane immediately east of the building – property Sunderji currently leases from the City of Surrey. But he said that with the new drinking and driving laws in effect, he doesn’t need to supply as much parking as he once did. The other benefit of the development Sunderji sees is the removal of an undesirable element – “crackheads and druggies” – who hang around the wooded gravel right-of-way next to his pub. “It will be nice to get rid of that,” he said.

Horsemen get their inside track Our readers opened their hearts…

By Jennifer Lang Plans are underway to create a new, inside passing lane for harness racing at Fraser Downs. Proponents say will make races more exciting to watch and bet on. A passing lane allows horses that are blocked in an opportunity to break out from behind the leaders during the final stretch. “It’s an issue our horsemen have been supporting and we’re going forward with a plan,” director of racing Jackson Wittup said. “It would give more horses a shot at winning.” It’s a return to form for the historic harness racing facility, which originally opened

When the inside lane is in place, horses will be able to move to the inside lane and have a better opportunity to win. “It’s going to make the races more exciting. There will be a better finish,” Jukich said. “Now, when they get boxed in they’ve got no place to go.” The passing lane will be in place in time for the Western Regional Driving Championships Saturday, Feb. 26 at Fraser Downs. The regionals are expected to draw drivers and horses from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. and decide which decide two winners go onto the nationals at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino in Charlottetown, PEI, on May 7.

as a half-mile track under the name Cloverdale Raceway. When the racetrack expanded to a fiveeighths of a mile oval in 1996, it lost the passing lane, Dan Jukich, simulcast director at Fraser Downs, said. The plan is to have the new, inside passing lane in place for the Jan. 7 races – the start of the 2011 schedule. “The horsemen wanted it, and we’re going to put it in,” he said. A designated pylon is set up at the start of the stretch, indicating the beginning of the inside passing lane. Nobody can go inside until the final lap, and there are strict rules drivers must follow.

Racetracks set to turn a profit From page one

providing an outstanding product to the public.” Blank said there have been no new developments on talk of potentially consolidating standardbred and thoroughbred racing at a single talk and stressed the finances are not strong. “The industry is still suffering sharp declines,” Blank said. “There is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to continue to try to stabilize and hopefully grow the industry.” Despite the challenges, Great Canadian Gaming is still on track to once again turn in a profit at its two B.C. racetracks for 2010. The company last month reported third-quarter pre-tax profits of $3.4 million at Fraser Downs and Hastings Park’s combined operations, including the casino gambling and hospitality sales. That was down only marginally from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 despite an 18 per cent drop in revenues at the two outlets, thanks to significant cost cutting. The third quarter report shows racetrack revenues at Fraser Downs/Hastings were down 35 per cent to $3.9 million, while casino gaming revenues held almost steady at $4.9 million. The third quarter report primarily blames the revenue drops on an accounting change regarding the company’s stake in TBC Teletheatre BC. The two B.C. “racinos” now show pre-tax profit of

$9.1 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $10 million for the same period of 2009. Doug McCallum, new CEO of Harness Racing BC, said the association is pleased with the commit- Les ment of the government to increase the allocation for the 2011 season. “The new marketing money is also welcomed to promote and build the industry,” he said. The future of the 2011 season at Fraser Downs had been uncertain weeks into the current fall season. In August, the number of upcoming race dates were cut by 30 per cent. The 2011 season was temporarily in limbo while the B.C. Horse Racing Management Committee and Great Canadian Gaming Corp. reviewed B.C.’s thoroughbred and standardbred racing industries. Discussions have been aimed at balancing declining revenues and devising a long-term vision. But an agreement reached between Great Canadian and Harness Racing B.C. guarantees at least 70 racing dates in the 2011 schedule, with the promise of 12 additional dates that would be added next fall (October to December) provided performance-based criteria are met: namely more bets – and bigger races, with more horses from B.C. The 2011 thoroughbred season had also been under consideration, Sturko’s letter said. –With files from Jennifer Lang

Drivers aren’t getting the message that driving recklessly or while under the influence of alcohol isn’t acceptable. That’s according to RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont, who released the latest figures from a Lower Mainlandwide Counterattack initiative. Between Dec. 3 and 6, 394 tickets were handed out for speeding, including 17 for excessive speeding that resulted in vehicles being impounded. There were 165 seatbelt infractions during a time when there’s a slight uptick in the number of seatbelt-related deaths. “Approximately 40 per cent of our

fatalities are the the result of not wearing a seatbelt or using a child restraint device,” he said. Some 66 drivers were handed prohibitions or suspensions for driving while impaired. Of those, 24 drivers received three-day prohibitions, 24 received 90-day prohibitions, three were charged criminally with impaired driving. During enforcement at intersections, 114 tickets were issued for a variety of infractions, including disobeying traffic lights, failing to stop, as well as left and right turn infractions.

Q A

Cloverdale Computer & Art Den

What can I expect on a road test? Your Class 7N or Class 5 road test will be conducted by an ICBC examiner for approximately 30 minutes. The test will begin with a check of your vehicle’s safety features. Once on the road, the test will include right and left turns, through-intersections, general driving and vehicle handling. You will be evaluated on your ability to successfully apply these five basic skills: 1. Communication (proper use of signalling before turns and manoeuvres) 2. Steering (no palming or underhand turning) 3. Speed (keep to posted speeds and watch for playgrounds and school zones) 4. Space (proper lane and stop position, understanding of right-of-ways i.e. 4-way stops) 5. Observation (shoulder checking into the blind spot before turning right and changing lanes) The Class 7N test (permitted after one year of the learner stage) includes manoeuvres such as parallel parking, curb and hill pullovers, and reverse stall parking. The Class 5 test (permitted after two years of safe driving in the novice stage) has less manoeuvres but requires driving on a 70 km/h+ highway and a running commentary to point out perceived road hazards. We welcome the opportunity to teach you safe driving techniques in a relaxed and friendly environment and assist you on your road to success! Teaching Safe Drivers of The Future

Q A Q

A Q A Q

A Q A

This does happen. The anti-virus program will use up your valuable CPU or you could have a pre-existing virus. You can test and see how much of your CPU Kaperski is using. If this is the problem uninstall and use a different anti-virus program such as Trend Micro’s 2011 Maximum Security. Do you still pick up and deliver for free? Yes! If I have you build a computer for me do you transfer over all my data and hardware as well? Yes, we will transfer your emails, data, pictures and hardware too. Will it cost me anything to transfer my data? Minimal Can I get a discount for trading in my old computer for a new PC? Most of the time yes, depending on your computer. Some are too old and we recycle them. I need an OS for maximum gaming “Supposed reduced memory footprint of the operating system”. If you have a legal copy of Windows XP, just get Tiny XP Beast Edition. Only takes around 40 MB of RAM, and has tons of tweaks that help improve gaming. There’s a lot of stuff taken out, but most of it can be easily replaced.

Q A

Should I list my home during the holidays? 10 reasons why you should list your home during the holidays: 1. Most December and early January buyers are particularly serious and very likely facing some sort of deadline. 2. January is the biggest transfer month of the year and job transferee’s use the holidays to house hunt. 3. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons. Investors usually want to close by year-end for tax purposes. 4. Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home. This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition versus any other time of the year. 5. Homes show well when decorated for the holidays creating a sense of family and people are much more emotionally drawn to the house, emotion sells. 6. Many people take vacation around the holidays allowing more time to look for a home. 7. Remodelling, decorating, appliance installation and other services are more available and at less of a premium. 8. There is plenty of mortgage money available for buyers. 9. Lenders aren’t as busy and can process mortgage loans faster. 10. Showings will be fewer and less intrusive, but more likely to be fruitful with motivated, qualified buyers. “Thinking of buying or selling? Call The Lunders today”

I send resume after resume but I can’t get an interview. What am I doing wrong? Here are three of the more common issues and the fixes: 1) Your resume is not showcasing your skills and experience they way it should. Call us to create a professional resume for you. Have that resume stand out amongst all the others. There is a cost involved, but what is the cost to you of not getting the interview? 2) You are applying to jobs you really are not qualified for. This is the biggest one, I see it every day. I can not tell you how frustrated my applicant screeners get over people sending in resumes for jobs that they have no business applying to. You are not doing yourself any favours. We are sure many of you can do the job one day, that you are a quick learner, but employers want someone to come in and hit the ground running. Please make sure you really have the listed requirements for the role. 3) The people that display constant growth and learning about their chosen profession are getting the interview ahead of you. It may be time to upgrade your skills. Hang tight, there is a great job for everyone out there. Yours will come.

Neck pain

I have pain above my shoulder and in my upper arm. My doctor says that the pain is referred from my neck. What does this mean?

The nerves that supply the arm and shoulder arise from the neck. Any irritation to the nerves in the form of swelling, inflammation or increased pressure can cause pain in the region of the arm/shoulder supplied by the respective nerves. Management of this condition should focus on the following. Ultrasound, electromagnetic therapy and laser are used to decrease pain and inflammation. Ice the back of the neck for 10-15minutes 2-3x day. Spinal mobilization, massage, trigger point therapy and manual release techniques are used to relieve muscle tension and to regain mobility and spinal alignment. Education and posture correction play an important role in restoring function and preventing recurrence of injury. Keep your neck in the midline position. Avoid working, watching T.V and speaking on the phone with your neck in a rotated and tilted position. When lying down ensure that your neck is adequately supported by pillows which keep your neck in line with the centre of your chest. A gradual core stability program will help to regain postural stability in the neck, back and shoulder. A physiotherapy assessment will help to identify the cause of injury and a comprehensive treatment program can help to relieve the pain.
