Cloverdale to lure Whitecaps?

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSOlympic bronze-medalist curler Kelley Law (2002 in Salt Lake City) plays on team Law during a men’s and ladies’ cashspiel at the Cloverdale Curling Rink last weekend. This winter, the Cloverdale Curling Club hosts the 2011 Scotties B.C. Women’s Curling Championships.

By Kevin DiakiwNegotiations are underway to

bring the Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, mayor Dianne Watts con-fi rmed last week.

Th e City of Surrey is talking with the team about locating a soccer training facility at the city-owned property, which is currently home to the harness racing track, a casi-no and the annual Cloverdale Ro-deo and Exhibition.

Th e Whitecaps are currently playing games at Swangard Sta-dium in Vancouver and training at SFU in Burnaby. Surrey wants to

move that training facility here.Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts

would not discuss specifi cs, but confi rmed talks are ongoing.

“At this point in time, all I can say is we’re in discussions,” Watts said.

Th ere is also $17 million in pro-vincial money available for the cre-ation of the facility, which would also serve as a training centre for international soccer.

It is not yet clear whether the track, casino or rodeo would still be part of the Fraser Downs facil-ity.

Th e survival of harness racing at

Fraser Downs has been in doubt of late, as racing days this year have been cut, and next year’s schedule is yet to be determined.

Kevin Falcon, the Liberal MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, wants the city’s standardbred track to go wherever it needs to in order to survive.

But he wants the Cloverdale ca-sino to stay right where it is.

Th e ministry in charge of gaming said races at Vancouver’s Hastings Park, which features thoroughbred racing, and Fraser Downs, home to harness racing, may merge.

“I’ll let the experts fi gure that

out, but I want to make sure any decision that’s made supports a strong, bright future for the horse racing sector,” Falcon said.

Th e president of the BC Lottery Corp. told a Vancouver newspaper in April that if either track (Hastings Park or Fraser Downs) closes or relocates, the slot ma-chines at each respec-tive facility will go as well.

Falcon takes issue with that.“I would argue that that is not

going to be the case,”Falcon said. “Th at willbe a decision that I canassure you is going tobe made aft er I as MLAhave an opportunity tosit down with the min-ister responsible andmake sure any decisionthat is being made isdefensible and justifi -able.”

A crazy downpour didn’t dampen spirits at Clo-verdale’s Terry Fox Run.

About 300 soggy souls turned out for the annual fundraising event, setting out in a massive deluge and joining thousands across Canada in commem-orating the 30th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope.

“It is more like a relay with us now carrying the torch he was forced to relinquish,” said Alison Sin-son Ince, Terry Fox’s nurse, a thunderclap sounding in the distance. “He heard it!” she said, smiling at the crowd of participants.

“In the 30 years since his Marathon of Hope,” she continued, “we have seen enormous changes in the understanding of cancer, prevention, its early de-tection and treatment and many of these advances

were assisted by monies raised in Terry’s name by ordinary people like us.”

Th e Sept. 19 event in Cloverdale – relocated this year to a higher profi le spot, the Cloverdale Legion – featured live music from Clayton Heights Sec-ondary’s jazz band, face painting for the kids, a live auction and a trivia contest, and refreshments by donation.

For online video of the event, visit www.clover-dalereporter.com – you’ll see just how wet it was.

Th e Cloverdale run raised $17,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation – double last year’s total. Th e run had 304 participants, and over 50 volunteers, in-cluding Clayton Heights’ leadership club, legion members and the Terry Fox Run committee.

Stepping up for Terry

CLOVERDALE CAMPUS TOPSIt’s a record year for Kwantlen Polytechnic

University, where student enrolment is up seven to 10 per cent across its four campuses, and Clo-verdale is leading the way.

Cloverdale’s campus, home to the university’s trades and technology programs, has experi-enced the highest student growth over last year, a 10 per cent increase.

Th e Langley campus was next at just under 10 per cent, followed by Richmond and Surrey, which each had seven per cent increases.

“We’re seeing signifi cant increases in virtually every program and every area within the univer-sity,” registrar Robert Hensley said.

Th e record enrolment is partly due to unprec-edented numbers of high school students heading to university right aft er graduation.

But he also credits changes at Kwantlen – namely, its relatively

new status as a full-fl edged university, which has proven to be a real catalyst for student growth.

Th at status has also helped draw international students, a segment of the student population that’s grown by 17 per cent since Kwantlen be-came a university, with most international stu-dents coming from China, India, and Saudia Arabia.

Th e September headcount shows more than 17,000 students are enrolled at Kwantlen in full and part-time studies.

DERBY CANCELLEDSorry, soap box derby fans. Organizers were

forced to cancel last weekend’s Clover Valley Soap Box Derby but want to run the races next Saturday instead.

Th ey hope to reschedule for Oct. 2. Th e event features home built, gravity powered cars and takes place on 60 Avenue in Cloverdale, uphill from Fraser Downs. It’s hosted by the Clover Valley District of Scouts Canada.

OpinionsCOMMUNITY CALENDAR

Both the mayor and our local MLA made alarming comments last week about what they believe the future may hold for Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino – currently operating under a gi-gantic question mark.

Dianne Watts says the City of Surrey is hoping to convince the Whitecaps soccer team to move its training facility to Fraser Downs.

She confi rmed the city is in discussions to move the team’s SFU training facility here – tell-ing Black Press the move would come with $17 million in pro-vincial money to build a facility that would also serve as a train-ing centre.

Th e city owns the property the casino and racetrack sit on, along with the Rodeo grounds, which means the city has fi nal say over what happens.

But it’s far from clear whether the track or casino would still be part of Fraser Downs. Is there room for a soccer fi eld and a rac-ing track?

Th ere’s no denying horse rac-ing in B.C. is at a crossroads. Har-ness racing dates have been cut back, and the 2011 season is still to be determined while bureau-crats, political appointees, and

the company that owns Fraser Downs and Hastings Park fi gure out what’s best.

Watts’ soccer bombshell went hand in hand with the news Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon sounds prepared to let the track go without a fi ght. But hands off the slots, he says.

Th ere’s talk of merging thor-oughbred racing – located at Hastings Park – and standard-bred racing, the style proudly carried out at Fraser Downs for 34 years, at one venue, according to the ministry in charge of gaming.

Falcon says our landmark track can go wherever it needs to in order to survive.

“I’ll let the experts fi gure that out,” he told Black Press, “but I want to make sure any decision that’s made supports a strong, bright future for the horse racing sector.”

Falcon takes issue with the sug-gestion that if either track closes or relocates, the slot machines will go somewhere else, too.

And if the Fraser Downs race-track goes, he wants the casino to stay right where it is.

“Th at will be a decision that I

can assure you is going to be made aft er I as MLA have an opportu-nity to sit down with the minister responsible and make sure any decision that is being made is de-fensible and justifi able.”

All of this comes as cold com-fort to the 400 to 500 folks who make a living out on the back-stretch at Fraser Downs, not to mention the Cloverdale busi-nesses who depend on a healthy harness racing industry here.

Little wonder that Cloverdale’s business commu-nity has been a staunch supporter of the racetrack – and the casino,

which provides another 500 local jobs.

All this speculation came just as the fall harness racing season is set to start at Fraser Downs.

Th e fi rst races are Oct. 1. Th e same date Cloverdale loses its last family link to the raceway – Fraser Downs’ general manager Chuck Keeling, just 38, is ami-cably resigning. Aft er 30 years at the track started by his late grandfather, he’s moving on to new horizons.

To hear such prominent politi-cians essentially write off harness

racing at Fraser Downs is dis-heartening to say the least.

Falcon’s attitude is particularlypuzzling – and guaranteed to so-lidify the perception among thelocal racing community that thefi x is in for Hastings Park.

It’s said some prominent B.C.Liberals are thoroughbred own-ers, a point not lost on the stan-dardbred horse people with astake in harness racing in Clover-dale.

Cloverdale residents should beoutraged that the mayor and theMLA don’t seem to be standingup for the track.

If Watts and Falcon aren’t fi ght-ing to save it, then it’s up to us.

In the words of one long-timelocal trainer, how will the White-caps contribute to the economyin Cloverdale? If they have $17million to spend they should bebuilding something new, not tak-ing away from the horses andshutting an industry down. Th ereare other places in Cloverdaleto consider if building new, headded.

Harness racing has not run itslast lap, but it sure sounds likesome elected offi cials are ready toconsign the industry to the gluefactory.

Opinions...

To the editor;It’s getting a little ridiculous

that you need a driver’s license to get a job. I can see if you want to drive trucks, but a dishwasher? Come on...

Or, maybe it’s just a case of discrimina-tion.

I can’t and haven’t worked since I left a government job. Now I need to pay ICBC $1,500 – for past insurance.

Th e motor vehicle branch is holding both my Class 3 and Class 5 licenses. I can’t seem to

fi nd employment due to not hav-ing a license for identifi cation. I would do any kind of work.

I can’t seem to sell my truck in order to pay to get my licenses back and now I hear you have to take a road test.

You can’t get a bank account with-out a license. You

can’t eat food from a food bank without a driver’s license and now you can’t work without a driver’s license.

I guess they (ICBC) want me to give them my truck/camper

and live in a tent with no food and no job.

Even if I get a license back I won’t have an address to get a job.

I knew a homeless person who did get a job, but the municipali-ty took his tent, sleeping bag and belongings, so he had to quit the job aft er two days.

Why doesn’t the government go aft er the rich? Let the poor have a recovering second chance, Bully.

To the editor

To the editor;On behalf of the Cloverdale Community Terry

Fox Run Committee, I’d like to thank you for your incredible coverage of our recent event.

We believe your reporting contributed to our record-breaking numbers – over 300 participants braved torrential downpours en route to raising more than $17,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

We were thrilled by the incredible support of the Cloverdale Legion and over 50 community volun-teers who donated their time course marshalling, cooking, face painting, handling the silent auction, playing in the jazz band, selling merchandise, set-ting up tents, doing traffi c control, gathering dona-

tions... and the list could go on and on. We were awed by the generosity of local business-

es who stepped up with donations of food, equip-ment, services, and silent auction items and want all involved to know that we truly couldn’t have done it without them!

While the disagreeable weather may have made the situation challenging, it certainly didn’t dampen the spirit of the day and we were inspired by every-one’s dedication and commitment to Terry Fox’s legacy.

Again, thank you sincerely for your support. Lynne Robinson Cloverdale

Harvest market helps horsesTwo-day event assists retired thoroughbreds and features local fare

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThese horses – in their 20s – have a new lease on life at Fields and Flowers Farms in Langley.

By Jennifer LangBy her own admis-

sion, Cloverdale’s Mary-anne Lechleiter is not a horse person per se.

But the publisher of Stimuli online magazine says when one of her contacts approached her to help a local orga-nization that works with retired racehorses, she couldn’t say no.

Th e result was the Shed Row Fall Market – a boutique-style fall market at Fields and Flowers Farm in Lang-ley.

More than 35 artisans and vendors are exhib-iting over the Oct. 2-3 weekend for the second annual event, which will feature everything from artisan cheeses and ci-der to homemade jew-elry, pottery and more.

Admission is by do-nation. Proceeds go to New Strides Th orough-bred Retirement Foun-dation.

“I just thought it was a great opportunity to connect businesses with horses,” Lechleiter said.

Th e market brings together artisans and vendors from across the Fraser Valley and beyond who, along with cheese and jew-elry, will be selling root vegetables, pumpkins, pies, cranberries, hand-bags, breads, herbs, teas, heirloom fruits and veg-etables, and even home decor items.

“It just runs the gamut,” she says, prom-ising visitors will be able to purchase ev-erything they need for their Th anksgiving table – except the tur-key – plus meet some

of New Stride’s horses; three currently reside at Fields and Flowers Farms, which hosts the two-day market.

Some – like Jose, a re-tired racehorse – are in need of long-term spon-sorship to help pay for food and ongoing care.

Lechleiter, who’s learning as she goes, says horses live an aver-age of 25 years.

And since most thor-oughbreds retire from racing before they’re eight years old, they oft en need to fi nd new homes once their ca-reers are over.

But “not everybody can own a horse, much less a dog, or a cat or a goldfi sh,” she points out.

Th at’s where New Stride Th oroughbred Retirement Foundation comes in.

Th e foundation re-trains horses so they can be adopted to suitable,

loving homes. Others are permanent guests who – for various rea-sons – won’t be adopted but need the support of ongoing sponsorships.

Donations from the community through events like the Shed Row Market are vital to New Stride’s operations.

For as little as $10 a month, people can spon-sor horses that are being rehabilitated through New Stride, covering their feed costs and up-keep, which can add up, says Kristine Carrick, a marketing and public

releations professional who’s also sponsoring the event.

Last year, more than 800 people turned out to the Shed Row Mar-ket, helping New Stride raise enough money to buy a semi-truck trailer of hay – enough to keep horses fed through the fall and winter.

Th e Shed Row Mar-ket opens from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 2 and 3 at Fields and Flowers Farm, 900 232 Street, Langley.

Admission is a $2 do-nation.

Avenue near 152 Street.Watts would not confi rm any such discussion.“I can’t discuss or divulge confi dential informa-

tion,” Watts said.Falcon said he’ll want to see compelling evidence

that the Cloverdale casino has to be moved.“I am not going to acquiesce to a wholesale move

unless I believe it’s in the best interest of Surrey andCloverdale in particular,” Falcon said. “I happen tobelieve it’s a great location on Highway 15, which isa four-lane freeway to one of the busiest borders inthe country.

“I’d be open to hear of they have a better location,I certainly haven’t heard of one.”

MLA wants casino to stayHe’ll need to see compelling evidence prior to any moveFrom front page

Casino and track are one, city policy saysBy Kevin DiakiwIf Fraser Downs race

track closed, the Great Canadian casino would no longer fi t within the city’s gaming policy.

But because policy is just a civic guideline,

there would be no legal remedy for the non-compliance.

Race days for this year at Fraser Downs have been cut back, and next year’s have yet to be scheduled.

Th e province is con-sidering the possibility of merging Vancouver’s Hastings Park and Fraser Downs.

If Fraser Downs was relocated to Vancouver, the remaining casino

would be in contraven-tion of the city’s gaming policy.

In 2002, Surrey creat-ed a set of guidelines re-quired for the location of any new casinos, includ-ing specifying that they

would have to be part of a larger entertainment complex.

“Th e casino must be a component of a clus-ter of tourism facilities such as a hotel with convention and meet-

ing facilities, a trade and convention centre, an entertainment cen-tre; such facilities to be regional in scope,” the policy states.

Mayor Dianne Watts said if the track was closed or moved to Vancouver, it would be time for a talk with Great Canadian Gam-ing Corporation, which runs the casino and track.

“We would have to

have those conversa-tions with Great Cana-dian because our ex-pectations have alwaysbeen that we want a ho-tel, we want a full ser-vice casino,” Watts said.“So, certainly, those willbe the conversations wewill be having.”

A meeting of thecommittee determin-ing the future of FraserDowns in expected thismonth.

racing is the best way to go, Reid wants them consolidated in Clover-dale.

“We say Fraser Downs is ideal for lots of rea-sons,” Reid said.

But whatever hap-pens, he doesn’t think Fraser Downs’ casino will be moved some-where else.

Th e casino and race-track are part of the same 20-year city lease to Great Canadian Gaming Corp.

“Th e casino is there as long as the racetrack is there,” he said.

He wants to know how a potential soccer facility would impact Fraser Downs.

“Th ey’re looking at a major complex if the provincial government is involved,” Reid said, referring to the $17 million in provincial money that would be used to build an inter-national soccer training

facility in a deal with theWhitecaps.

“Th ey’re not talkingabout [just] a soccerfi eld.”

If a development dealis being discussed, Reidsuggests building some-place else on the massivecity-owned site, whichhouses Fraser Downs,along with the rodeoand fairgrounds, curl-ing rink, new recreationcentre, greenspace andthe Millennium Amphi-theatre.

“Th ey’ve got 70 acresof undeveloped space,”he said.

“Just put down an ‘X’and build.”

Th at’s plenty of roomfor a soccer facility,which would need just afew acres, he says.

“We should be ask-ing where do mayor andcouncil stand on FraserDowns’ longevity?” Reid demanded.

“What’s your ideaof the future of FraserDowns? You have con-trol of the site.”

With the return of fall, we are back at our desks full-time, teachers are back at work, fall activities have begun and we have settled back into our associated ha-bitual postures. Some of the most com-mon symptoms that present with pos-tural changes are: tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, mid back ache and low back discomfort.

A pain cycle begins when muscle contraction occurs and the muscle does not return to a normal resting tone. The shortened muscle affects the body’s boney alignment as well as the lymphatic, nervous and circulatory systems. The body reads these effects as pain. As the pain increases, we tense our muscles in an effort to ease the pain, which begins the cycle again. Posture is one of the most abundant causes associated in a pain tension cycle.

At Clayton Heights Chiropractic, we like to take a well rounded approach to your health. Assessing and treating

not only the symptoms, we will help create a plan to cor-rect these postural dysfunctions that will help you begin a

long term pain free solution. By incorporating stretching and strengthening and other home-care strategies, we want to empower you to take your health into your own hands. This is what allows you to create the change you need to al-leviate pain long term.

It’s never too late. Some chronic pain sufferers may take slightly longer to get the same results but long term wellness is our focus. We use a broad range of techniques to achieve these re-sults. With boney re-alignment from our Chi-ropractor, muscular manipulation and fascial

balancing from our Massage therapists, freedom from pain is just around the corner.

In October, Clayton Heights Chiropractic celebrates our first anniversary. We would like to thank the community for being so supportive through our first year of practice.

Exercise Proven to have a positive impact on health, physical de-

velopment and improves most body functions. “Physical activity presents a physiological stress to the

brain that, when balanced with recovery, promotes adapta-tion and growth, preserves brain function and enables the brain to respond to future challenges” (Sattel-mair& Ratey 2009)

Additionally exercise has also been shown to have positive benefits in enhancing self es-teem, reducing anxiety, anger and may also re-duce symptoms of attention deficit hyperactive disorder.

NutritionDaily living is often fast paced and balancing

activities and commitments while finding time to prepare balanced meals is often a huge chal-lenge. Below are a few tips that can help ease the anxiety of meal preparation,

• Get your children to help pack school lunches and dis-cuss the importance of making wise nutritional selections. A well balanced school lunch will lead to better concentra-tion in class, is important to health and fitness, growth and increased energy levels.

• After school snacks and daycare- for those children that attend daycare it is important to pack nutritious snacks. Children tend to eat less but more often so it is important to have nutritious snacks packed to eliminate large amount of time between meals.

• Ensure to pack a water bottle. Water is a vital component to health and well being. A student that is well hydrated will have increased mental and physical performance.

• The pantry and fridge- be sure to have plenty of healthy options available in the house for children to choose from and limit the “treats” available.

SleepIt is as important to a child’s develop-

ment as food and water. Sleep allows the body to recover, grow, develop and allow for optimal alertness and concentration in the classroom promoting optimal learning behaviour.

Germ PreventionWashing of hands maybe the easiest step

to combating common infections such as a cold.

Younger students in particular should be reminded to wash hands before eating, avoid sharing drink-ing cups or bottles and placing all used tissue in the garbage immediately after use will help to promote a healthier envi-ronment for all students and staff.

VaccinationsIt is important that students of all ages have received their

vaccinations to ensure long term health against preventable diseases. Staying up-to-date with vaccinations is the best

way to maintain health of friends, classmates and the mem-bers of the community safe from serious illness of prevent-able disease.
