On the edge of the precipice

JENNIFER LANG PHOTODoug McCallum, CEO of Harness Racing B.C., is a fi erce advocate for an embattled industry. He’s also an owner. He hopes Gearing Up, a two-year-old colt, will make his racing debut next season.

By Jennifer LangFraser Downs racetrack falls silent on April

15 – the last night of live harness racing until October.

But there’s a question those who make a liv-ing from Cloverdale’s historic raceway are ask-ing: will B.C.’s harness racing industry survive until then?

Th e decision to implement a six month, split racing season this year has been devastat-ing and unless a longer season is reinstated, thousands of jobs will be lost, says former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum.

Last fall, McCallum took the helm of B.C.’s harness racing as-sociation, hoping he could use his political and business clout to help the industry – operating under a cloud of uncertainty – get back on its feet.

Six months later, he’s feeling disillusioned and the membership is reeling, desperate to see the re-turn of a longer season that will bring the stability needed to keep local jobs and livelihoods across the province secure.

Harness Racing B.C., an association that represents breeders, owners, trainers and driv-ers, is seeking a 10-month, twice-a-week rac-

ing schedule in 2012, with the same number of total race days as allocated for this year, 82.

“If we continue with a shortened racing sea-son next year, our breeding industry will be wiped out along with thousands of jobs,” Mc-Callum said.

Th e issue has united everyone with a stake in the industry – from breeders in rural B.C. and veterinarians and farriers, to long-time trainers and promising young drivers.

Th ey agree six months is too short for a viable season and it’s too long for a break.

“Most summers we survive be-cause we break babies,” trainer Tom Bourdeau said Tuesday. Aft er 44 years in the business, he’s about to look for his fi rst part-time job to help pay for the horses he’ll train over the summer.

Meanwhile, Bourdeau said breeders have stopped producing stock and owners are reluctant to invest thousands without a prom-ise of a return for months.

“If there’s no money coming in, there’s some nice horses here that

are going to lose their lives,” he said.Many of his colleagues are considering

Flea market looking to expand into the weekendBy Jennifer LangCloverdale’s popular Sunday fl ea market is poised for an

overhaul. Th e Lower Fraser Valley Fair Association announced

Tuesday it’s seeking expressions of interest in operating a new Cloverdale Weekend Market that would combine a tra-ditional fl ea market and country market – all in one place.

Th e association is looking to revitalize and expand the cur-rent Sunday swap meet by including more items and services in a one or two-day weekend market that would make its de-but June 5.

“We’re looking forward to off ering our changing community an updated and more urban style mar-ket while maintaining the traditions set on the fair-grounds,” association president Shannon Claypool said.

“We envision a weekly meeting place where the community can connect with one another while supporting local businesses.”

Th e fairgrounds are home to the Cloverdale Ro-deo and Country Fair, taking place over the May long weekend each year. Th e facilities have hosted

swap meets, markets and trade shows for more than 25 years, most recently the Sunday fl ea mar-ket, which operates year-round from 6 a.m. to 4p.m. Sundays.

Th e association, which oversees operations atthe Cloverdale Fairgrounds, is seeking proposalsfrom qualifi ed operators to assume management, marketing and operation of the Cloverdale Week-end Market.

Proposals are to be submitted no later than April15.

Vij’s comes to SurreyBy Jennifer LangOne of the biggest names on the Van-

couver culinary scene has brought part of his ever-expanding business to the edge of Cloverdale.

Vikram Vij, chef and restaurateur, has moved the frozen food production facility for his line of entrees out of his Vancouver restaurant to 19466 55 Ave., Surrey.

“My goal is to elevate the love of Indian food in Canada,” Vij said. “I can’t open up a restaurant in every city, but I can share my food through grocery stores for people to enjoy at home.”

Th e new production facility for Vij’s In-spired Indian Cuisine is purpose-built.

“We found a great property on which to build our plant,” account manager Allison Hepworth told the Reporter.

“It is a vibrant community to do business in, and is situated close to trucking routes.”

Eight employees, not including head offi ce per-sonnel, work at the facility, which will have its grand opening in the fall.

Vij and his wife Meeru Dhalwala, who opened the original Vij’s restaurant in 1994, began cooking – and selling – pre-packaged meals out of their second res-taurant, Vij’s Rangoli, in 2004.

Th e dishes, inspired by original recipes used at their restaurant, are fl ash-frozen and packed in boil-in-bag pouches.

Th ings were getting tight keeping up production in

their small restaurant, so they de-cided to move production to a larger facility.

Now the packaged meals are sold at more than 80 grocery stores in B.C. and across Canada, although at thistime, there are no plans to sell them directly from the production facility.

Th e same cooks who make the dishes at the restaurant still make the food – hand-sift ing, roastingand grinding whole spices – but ina larger kitchen, under the directguidance and quality control of the famed restaurateur.

Vikram VijTraining dates

LESLIE MCKELLAR PHOTOCloverdale residents Marlene and her son Lukas, 3, often stop by Fraser Downs Racetrack to watch training sessions.

Pulling up stakespulling up stakes and moving to Ed-monton, Ontario, or California, even though there are no guarantees they’d be able to hold onto their livelihoods.

“Nobody wants to leave,” he said.In addition to approximately 3,500

direct and indirect jobs on the line in the Fraser Valley, the future of Fraser Downs also impacts standardbred breeders and owners across B.C.

Testimonials are pouring in.“Th ey come from the biggest stan-

dardbred owners in the country to the people right at the bottom who can hardly write – it just literally makes me sick, when you listen to these people say how the industry is getting destroyed,” McCallum said.

Th e letters will be sent to Great Ca-nadian Gaming Corp., the company that owns Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, the B.C. Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch, and the pro-vincial management committee that’s looking at long-term solutions for the horse racing industry.

“Th e thing that’s made most of the members really upset is the fact that they’re not even asking for any more money from the government and they’re not even asking for any more race dates,” McCallum said. “Th ey’re

just asking them for 10 months over the year.”

Breeders are beginning to perma-nently shut down their B.C. operations.

Some, like Brett Currie, a long-time breeder with deep roots here packed his bags and a bunch of horses two weeks ago for Ontario.

“He doesn’t know if he’ll be back,” Mc-Callum said. “He’s just about the found-er, a rock-solid person whose given his whole life and family to this industry.”

Meanwhile, McCallum says he’s battling complete indiff erence, claim-ing the management committee chair told him, “’Yeah, there’s passion but we’ve already decided this.’ It’s unbe-lievable. For them to basically ignore these people, it’s astonishing.”

He also says Great Canadian Gam-ing is breaking the terms of its lease with the City of Surrey.

Twelve years ago, when McCallum signed the lease for Fraser Downs on behalf of city council, “the prin-ciple was to be sure that racing ran throughout the year,” he said.

“We were concerned, as a council, that Great Canadian was only con-cerned about their casino license,” he said. “Th ey’re doing exactly what we were worried about. I don’t know how else to put it other than it’s just liter-ally destroying the industry.”

Th e broadcast consortium has decided to bar Green party leader Elizabeth May from the 2011 federal leaders’ debates.

She learned of this from a Canadian Press reporter, not the consor-tium, which represents Canada’s largest television networks.

Only aft er public outrage was she included in the 2008 debates, dur-ing which she displayed her pit bull persona.

Initially, the Conservatives and the NDP refused to participate if she was invited. Now the consortium argues that the Green party has never earned an elected seat in the House of Commons and, therefore, isn’t worthy of airtime, in English or French.

We couldn’t disagree more.Th e Bloc party only runs candidates in

Quebec, yet it is allowed to take part in the debates?

Th e Green party is running candidates in all 308 Canadian ridings. In all, the Green party garnered close to a million votes in

2008, representing one in 10 Canadians, or 6.8 per cent of all votes cast, for which it receives taxpayer money.

What party leader would be willing to tell all those voters that their opinions, and dollars, don’t matter?

Th ose opinions largely concern the state of the environment, an is-sue that will no doubt be part of the leaders’ debates.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and NDP leader Jack Layton areboth willing, this time, to accept if Ms. May is included in the debates,which, for the most part, are all bickering.

Regardless, the broadcast consortium needs to rethink its arbitrarydecision and apologize to Ms. May, and voters, and let her speak.

Th ere really is no debating that.– Maple Ridge News

Let May play

Points of view

Are you saying the votes of 1 in 10 of us don’t matter?

Harness Racing B.C. is seeking a 10-month, twice a week racing schedule at Fraser Downs in 2012.

Th e following excerpts are from letters writ-ten by Standardbred breeders, owners, trainers, drivers and others, explaining how a six month season has aff ected them.

Th ey’ve been submitted to Great Canadian Gaming Corp., the company that owns Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, the B.C. Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch, and the provincial management committee on horseracing.

This is our livelihoodI have been involved with harness racing at

Fraser Downs since the early ‘80s. For many years it was a hobby. In recent

years it has become a career and main source of income.

I cannot survive with only two or three race days, six months of the year. What do I live on for the other six months a year?

Please help the harness horsemen of B.C. survive. Th is is our livelihood and the only way of life we know.

Don’t strangle a proud tradition.Greg A. Smith

We all need a viable seasonWe need a minimum of 10 months racing

per annum to maintain a viable industry and the livelihoods for all those involved with

harnessracing, from horsemen, to feed com-panies, veterinarians, farriers, farmers, tack suppliers, drug companies, and salespersons, all their respective staff and all those who benefi t from the incomes that these persons reinvest into the economy.

Michael D. Towns, DMV

Fraser Downs is doomedTh e current six month season at Fraser

Downs is forcing me to sell my house in Clo-verdale and relocate to Ontario or the United States. I have been in the top three of the driv-ing standings for the last seven years. I also breed one mare a year.

Without a longer racing season Fraser Downs is doomed.

Jim Marino

Financially devastatedIf the six months racing schedule is adopted,

I will have no other option than to not breed my mares.

I have been fi nancially devastated this past year by the amount that yearlings have sold for. I am not in a fi nancial position to be charitable and give my yearlings away.

I have reduced my mare inventory from fi ve to two. I cannot even feed the foals for what they brought at the sale let alone the mares or pay the vet.

I also purchased property in the southern

interior with the intent to operate a breedingfacility. With no horses being bred, I am suf-fering on both fronts.

I will be out of the standardbred businessthis spring if there is no stability off ered andI know a six month racing schedule will notsupport this industry.

Diana Ball,Falkland, B.C.

Directly affectedI operate the backstretch kitchen. Without

racing, without horsemen, I have no business– it’s that simple, as I am self employed. No EIbenefi ts here.

Liz Davie

No handoutsWe are not looking for a handout. We are

asking for the opportunity to continue theonly work we know.

Brian Ingram

Action needed immediatelyTh is isn’t rocket science. Six month seasons

will end racing in B.C. and I will not investanother dime here unless sincere and drasticmeasures from Great Canadian and the B.C.government are taken immediately to supportour industry above minimal operating levels.

Lance Goshko

Letters from the backstretchStakeholders say a six month harness racing season at Fraser Downs has been devastating for their industry

On the road for Job’s DaughtersBy Jennifer LangA Cloverdale teen has been

crowned Miss British Columbia Job’s Daughter for the coming year, a title that’s earned her the role of provin-cial ambassador.

In May, Regan Hasegawa launches an adventure that will take her to communities across B.C., visiting all the cities and towns where there are Job’s Daughters chapters, known as bethels.

“I’m thrilled, I’m absolutely thrilled,” says Hasegawa, a Grade 11 student at Lord Tweedsmuir Second-ary. “I have lots of plans.”

Her main goal is to boost mem-bership in the international fraternal organization, which teaches leader-ship, teamwork, public speaking and

a host of other skills, along with fos-tering friendships. It’s open to girls aged 10 to 20 who are related to a Master Mason.

Hasegawa will promote Job’s Daughters – aff ectionately known as “Jobies” among members – through-out the province by appearing at pa-rades, events, ceremonies and con-ventions. And don’t forget to look for her in the upcoming Cloverdale Rodeo parade.

She also plans to post frequent Twitter updates and has set up a Fa-cebook account to help reach out to members and prospective members in a more modern way.

“I think it would be great for people to see what we’re actually doing in the community,” she says. “It’s kind of a hard thing to explain to an out-

sider who’s never taken part in any Masonic func-tion before. My goal as Miss British Columbia is to show other people in B.C. how awesome ‘Jobies’ is.”

She points out Job’s Daughters has shrunk from a high of 63 bethels in B.C. to less than 20 in 2011.

“It’s just sad, because Job’s Daughter’s has just given me so much in my life, valuable life lessons,” says Hasegawa, who joined at age 11.

Th e organization has members in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Philip-pines and Brazil.

Members perform service projects

in their community. Th ey run their own meetings, voting on everything in order to decide activities and plan events.

“I just tell people that it’s an organization for young women who would like to be leaders in their community, take part in helping other charities, learn public speaking, self-esteem and self-con-fi dence,” she says.

It’s shaping up to be a full year for Hasegawa,

who works at PriceSmart in Clover-dale, and will be an assistant track and fi eld coach at her school.

Th e BC SPCA is declaring April Wildlife Awareness month and is urging the public to become proactive in helping protect and appreciate the diversity of species with which we share the planet.

Every year the BC SPCA cares for more than 2,000 injured and orphaned wild animals, most of whom have been harmed in some kind of interaction with humans.

Why wait until Earth Day on April 22? Here are 10 ways you can help wildlife all year round:

Boycott helium balloon releases. Released, defl ated balloons –latex and mylar– oft en drift into waterways where seabirds, turtles and whales mistake them for food, causing blockages resulting in slow, agonizing deaths.

Beware of wild homes. Respect wildlife and allow them to thrive without disturbing them. For example, keep dogs on leashes near waterways where ground nesting birds are incubating eggs and don’t remove trees or shrubbery during spring nesting season.

Don’t litter. It sounds obvious, but discarded trash like glass, cigarettes, lighters and bottle caps kills wildlife.

Plant habitat. Plant a diverse selection of native

vegetation to support butterfl ies, bees, song birds and mammals.

Keep cats indoors or create a screened outdoor cat enclosure. Outdoor cats kill thousands of birds, mammals and reptiles every year. Spring is when baby birds are most vulnerable to cat predation.

Eat less meat or buy SPCA Certifi ed products. Eating less meat helps reduce, for example, the global destruction

of rainforests for cattle production. Choosing locally-raised, SPCA-Certifi ed products is your assurance that animals are raised to a high welfare standard.

Don’t buy products made from wildlife parts. Shoes, purses, wallets and clothing are oft en made from the skins or parts of either

“farmed wildlife” or from animals taken from the wild.

Support sustainable seafood products. Avoid eating fi sh and seafood which come from vulnerable habitats, practices which have lethal impacts on other species or whose populations are at risk from poor management. Look online for seafood guides.

Say no to exotic pets. Don’t support

the keeping of wild animals as pets – snakes, frogs, parrots, sugar gliders and turtles are all examples of wild animals deserving to be left in their native habitats.

Pledge fi nancial support for Wild ARC. Wild ARC (wildarc.com) is the BC SPCA’s wildlife rehabilitation centre in Metchosin on Vancouver Island. Wild ARC cares for more than 2,000 injured and orphaned wild animals every year.

For more details, visit spca.bc.ca.

It’s ‘like a family’She feels blessed to have such ‘awesome support’

She’ll be selling Miss B.C. J.D. Bub-blegum Tea as a way to help fi nance her travels.

Last spring, she was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease. It forced her to take a break from sports and dancing.

Prior to her diagnosis, it was dif-fi cult not knowing what was wrong. Jobies were there to help.

“I got awesome support from my bethel,” she says. “Th e Job’s Daugh-

ters are like a family. Th at’s one ofthe things I’m really blessed to have,is my bethel, because they’re there tosupport me in everything I do.”

She will also represent B.C. at theJob’s Daughters international con-vention in St. Louis, Missouri, thisJuly. While there, she’ll competeagainst 30 other young women forthe international title. Th e competi-tion includes interviews, memorywork recitation, a written test andstage presentations and spontaneousquestions.

Make the SwitchThe downside of keeping your winter tires on year round is that they wear out very quickly," In most conditions, you can usually get three or four seasons out of them before you have to replace the winter set when you're swapping them out with an all-season or summer tire. If you drive them year-round, the heat will wear away the specifi c winter tire compounds. You'll also sacrifi ce some cornering and grip if you leave them on throughout the year."

In ‘Grandma’s’ bootsRain batters my

offi ce windows, but summer is on my mind. Th e truth is…I’m goofi ng off .

Laurie Carter’s new book, Grandma Wears Hiking Boots, arrived in the morn-ing post. Subtitled “A Personal Guide to the Okanagan”, the companionable guide book comfortably

blends Carter’s pas-sion for writing, pho-tography, family, and British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley.

Pausing at the Kelowna Farmers’ and Craft ers’ Mar-ket chapter reminds me that the market opened on April 2 for its 16th year. Carter reports that she and

photographer hus-

band, Bruce Kemp, are regularsat B.C’s largest farmers’ market. Ican understand why.

Torn between artisan cheeses,honeys, fresh veggies and a juriedselection of craft s during my sum-mer visit a couple of years ago, Ipaused for lunch at the Okana-gan Street Food Trailer. Propri-etor Chef Neil Schroeter told me:“Fresh food with great fl avour ismy passion!” His market menuproved his mantra, plus geared

this gal up for another round of taste testing and browsing. Th e market is located at Springfi eld and Dilworth Roads. Check www.kelownafarmersandcraft-ersmarket.com for details.

Browsing on through the book, pictures of the O’Keefe Ranch near Vernon remind me of family outings there when my children were small. “O’Keefe is one of those attractions that don’t cause kids to roll their eyes,” reports Carter. So true – and picnics are encouraged.

Easy to follow hiking maps – interspersed with tales of a ride on the Kettle Valley Steam Train, a visit to Carmelis Goat Cheese Artisan at the end of the Kel-owna Wine Trail, and a closer look at First Nations history at Nk’ Mip Desert Cultural Centre near Osoyoos – are only a few landmarks Grandma highlights.

Nk’ Mip is a particularly unique success story. In addition to developing and protecting the 20 hectare desert environment – which includes a rattle snake research and tagging program, the Osoyoos Indian Band has successfully built related proj-

ects overlooking Lake Osoyoos. Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa, and Nk’Mip Cellars, North America’s First Aborigi-nal-owned and operated winery (plus the nearby Cultural Cen-tre) off er a multi-faceted North American cultural experience.

Th is casual little book off ers

insights into what lies beyond the realm of the legendary Oka-nagan wineries. Carter com-ments on her love of history, which reminded me of my own jaunt to Gellatly Nut Farm Re-gional Park just off Hwy 97 in West Kelowna.

David Gellatly and his wife Eli-za arrived in the Okanagan from Scotland (via ten years in On-tario) in 1900. Th ey purchased 320 acres which they cleared by hand and farmed. As time went by David gave ten acres each to his sons, David Jr. and Jack, who experimented with cultivating assorted nut trees. Eventually, Gellatly Nut Farm “became the cradle of hardy nut growing and

breeding in North America”.David died in 1969, and in

1998 a developer made a bid tobuy the land. Local oppositionhalted the rezoning applicationand the Regional District ofCentral Okanagan was persuad-ed to buy the land and preserveit as a park.

Th e residents formed the Gel-latly Nut Farm Society (GNFS)l and the park opened to thepublic in September 2005. It’s atranquil, low key, stop. You canbuy or collect nuts, picnic, strollthrough charming parkland,and enjoy being a small part ofa pioneer enterprise which was,in a nutshell, the mainstay of thehistoric community at GellatlyPoint.

Th e rain has stopped. ‘Grand-ma’ has prompted me to dust off the camping gear … well, maybemy hiking boots … and a roomnear a spa. Th is grandma isn’tas quite as intrepid as LaurieCarter.

UKRAINIAN AFTERNOONYou’re invited to help celebrate our

city’s rich tapestry of Ukrainian cul-ture Saturday aft ernoon at the Surrey Museum.

But you better get there early – a capacity crowd turned out last year to hear live music, watch dances, admire colourful national costumes, and take in cultural displays during the mu-seum’s fi rst-ever cultural aft ernoon, hosted in partnership with members of the Ukrainian community.

Th ere’s a lot to celebrate: 2011 marks the 120th anniversary of the arrival of Ukrainians in Surrey. According to the 2006 census, there were 16,050 Ukrainians living here.

Th is year’s event promises to be just

as successful, with a full program of performances, demonstrations, dis-plays, vintage fi lms, and activities.

First up is a performance by Surrey’s dazzling Kvitka Ukrainian Dancers at 1 p.m., followed by the Ukrainian Dulcimer Ensemble concert at 2 p.m.

Th e Ukrainian fi lm series runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It features documen-taries about Ukrainians and their cul-ture in Canada, plus there are some vintage fi lms on Ukrainian dance.

Th ere will also be pysanky egg dec-orating demonstrations.

Th e Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave., Surrey. Admission in 2011 is sponsored by the Friends of the Museum Society.

Attention: Canada/USA Cross-Border Business CommunityYour immediate and continuing support is needed

The future of the “Can-Am Studies” program and the Border Policy

Research Institute at Western Washington University is in jeopardy.

and provides immediate financial commitment.

to show your support.

All sponsors will receive the maximum possible recognition

and exposure or their generosity and support. Students and other
