New West recycling plant’s biggest customer is Howe Sound Pulp and Paper

By Grant GrangerNEWSLEADER

A huge heap of all sorts of industrial garbage—a mishmash of metal, plastics, wood and more—sits in a

Braid Industrial Park work yard.A crunched pop can’s throw away is

another pile. This one consists solely of neat bite-sized wood chips, none more than four inches long, awaiting shipment to be used as hog fuel.

It is diffi cult to comprehend the meta-morphosis of one to the other, but that’s what Urban Woodwaste Recyclers has been doing at its lower Sapperton property since it opened in 2002.

Household recycling has received much of the spotlight in recent years, but indus-trial trash fl ies under the radar even though there is so much of it.

“The volume is signifi cant,” says Michael Fournier, regional vice president of Harvest Power which bought Urban last September.

Urban diverts 50 per cent of the waste it takes in. The rest goes to landfi ll. Prior to this century almost 100 per cent went to landfi ll.

Dirty, dusty processIt’s a dirty, dusty and fi nicky process that is

carried out on a piece of land alongside the Fraser River.

All day long, large trucks full of all kinds of waste come rolling onto Urban’s scale to dump their loads. Those that are predominantly full of wood are sent around the corner to dump their loads, while those containing a mix of industrial garbage dump it on another pile.

The drivers with commingled material are charged a higher tipping fee than the ones that are mostly wood. The wood pile isn’t pristine, though. It contains such non-timber products as tarps, lawn clippings, a microwave, a water cooler reservoir and a volleyball.

Everything, including the kitchen sink, gets thrown into industrial waste bins, even those that are supposed to contain only wood. You can’t stop people from throwing inappropriate material in bins, says Fournier.

Big excavators grab clumps of debris to pre-liminarily separate the wood from the rest of the waste.

“They get very good at picking up, but they’re not going to pick up individual pieces, although they do with some of the metal and just toss them into the metal bin,” says Fournier.

Hovering over all the piles are big water can-nons installed by Harvest. They shoot mists onto

the waste in an effort to keep the dust under control. It’s an issue that has upset many of Urban’s neighbouring businesses, some of whom maintain the sprayers haven’t helped the situation.

Diverting materialsEventually the excavators feed the

‘wood’ onto a conveyor belt that runs into a big building just underneath the roof. As soon as it goes inside it lands on a shaker that vigourously moves back and forth, sifting everything that’s three inches or less downward to be funneled off to another pile. Eventually it will be converted into small bits to produce alter-native daily cover (ADC) which is used to cover landfi lls. The chunks that survive the shaker continue along the conveyor which is fl anked by 10 to 12 workers. They are covered head to toe with coveralls, safety glasses, ear protection, gloves, respirators and a hard hat.

The employees hover over the belt pick-ing off all the material that’s not supposed to be there. Some are charged with taking away metal, others plastic and additional materials. The met-als are sent down a chute to a bin area where they are separated into even more into piles of wire, casings, aluminum and other types of metals. The metal that had been separated by the excavators outside also gets the same treatment so it can be sold to metal recyclers.

The plastics are sent down another chute to be heaped on the already existing pile outside, much of it compacted so it can be more easily compacted to make ADC. Back on the conveyor belt, the wood continues merrily along, unaccompanied by the rest of the rubbish it arrived at Urban with. The fun doesn’t last long, however. What had been window ledges, doors or framing all of a sudden plunges into a big nasty machine called a hog.

NON-PROFITS COME TO MARKET JULY 14New Westminster’s non-profi t organizations will set up booths at the Royal City Farmers Market this Thursday, July 14 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Tipperary Park. International aid, green lifestyle solutions and breast cancer awareness are just some of the causes that will be showcased. The Royal City Gogos will have a booth—the local branch of a national organization that supports Stephen Lewis’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign and has raised more than $6 million for African women looking after their AIDS-orphaned grandchildren. The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition will be promoting safe and fun cycling. Abreast in a Boat, a group of dragon boat racers living with breast cancer, will be raising awareness—and showing off their biceps.

Second edition of Grimston Park event July 16

By Grant GrangerNEWSLEADER

A few years ago there was an intense tug-of-war over Grimston Park. The spectacular spot over-looking the Queens-borough Bridge had been proposed as a site for a new middle school. West End resi-dents, though, fought to keep it and were victorious.

“I thought the park and the neighbour-hood were misunder-stood through that whole thing,” said Briana Tomkinson, an area resident who operates the Tenth to the Fraser blog about all things New West-minster.

After the furor died down, she was talking to a neighbour and said, “We need an event in the West

End to bring everyone together.”

The excuse to have a party was the opening up of a new play-ground at Grimston, and so Summerfest was born.

The inaugural celebration last July included entertain-ment, food and more. Kids crawled, jumped and scrambled all over

the unique playground while others splashed in the wading pool.

The response blew Tomkinson’s mind. The expectation was 200 to 500 people would show up, but she fi g-ures it was more like 1,500 to 2,000.

The big attraction of the day came when the sun went down and an infl atable 16 by 20 foot movie screen was blown up to show a screening of the clas-sic kids movie ET.

The second Sum-merfest at Grimston Park will be held Saturday, July 16, from 4 to 11:30 p.m.

When the debate about whether to put a school there was at its height some said it was useless and nobody uses it, which irked Tomkinson. She felt a more positive light needed to be shone on the com-munity.

“[Summerfest] brought people out that hadn’t been there for a while,” Tomkin-son said. “Since the renovations were done it has also improved the feeling of the park itself and now it really is a premium park in the West End.

“It really is the envy of other neighbour-hoods with its wading pool and unique play-ground.”

People told her last year how they liked the low-key event where they got a chance to mix with their neighbours and got to know the com-munity.

Tomkinson esti-mated 500 stayed to watch the movie. ET is so timeless and appealing to young-

sters even her three-year-old son Wesley made it all the way through without fall-ing asleep. During the key scenes children asked, “Is he dead?” and the parents reas-sured them with an “It’s OK.”

“The parents get joy from sharing a movie from their childhood and then to do that on a big screen is even better,” Tomkinson said.

This year they asked committee members what movies connected with them when they were kids. They put the top three responses on Twitter for feedback and The Princess Bride came back as the most popu-lar so it will be this year’s feature presen-tation. (Free popcorn is included.)

Tomkinson said they’ve built on last year’s success by add-ing a few extra activi-ties and acts, including a performance by the New Westminster-based Vancouver Circus School.

The West End, she said, is a place where children visit back and forth for informal play dates and neighbours help each other all the time. There is a charm to its homes, which may not be as historic or big as some in Queen’s Park but they have their own character, she said. All those are reasons to celebrate the neigh-bourhood and the park that was worth fi ght-ing for.

Moody Park outdoor pool’s third fi lter, installed last winter to correct cloudy water problems, has yet to be tested, according to the city.

As a result, the pool is being shut between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. each day to allow the fi lter to “rest.”

“The issue that we were facing last year is that on days of extremely hot weather, during maximum load, in order to maintain the clarity it was prudent to close the pool,” said Dean Gibson, director of parks, culture and recreation. But he added this year’s daily closures don’t mean that the extra fi lter isn’t doing its job.

That test won’t come until the real hot weather hits, when the city will learn if the bolstered fi ltration

system can handle high volumes and long hours.

Gibson said cool and rainy days so far this summer have kept swimmers away, and the fi lters have not yet been tested at full capacity.

The one-hour break is therefore a precau-tionary measure until the city can be sure it’s providing a clean swimming pool even with large volumes of swimmers.

According to Gibson, a scheduled break is not as disruptive as having to pull swim-mers out without notice at the fi rst sign the fi ltration system has been overworked.

Gibson said if the hot weather of the past few days continues for another week, Moody Park pool will attract enough swimmers to put the fi ltration sys-tem to the maximum-load test.

Pool staff will assess

the water visually a few hours before the scheduled shut down.

“If we see that we have a super-high clarity of water for a sustained period, the closure will no longer be necessary.”

The city is not considering any legal action against the com-pany that engineered the fi ltration system, Gibson said. He had no comment about why only two fi lters were installed dur-ing construction and wouldn’t say who was responsible for the miscalculation.

“The pool was built and designed accord-ing to specifi cation requirements of the Provincial Health Act. Those minimum speci-fi cations have not been enough for the length of time we operate.”

Other outdoor pools in the region, such as in Kitsilano, don’t have scheduled breaks to let their fi ltration

systems rest but, said Gibson, “those are different animals all together. They’re big-ger pools, and the size of the water-handling system is completely different.”

He also said that the term “cloudy water” is an exaggeration because the problem has never been visible to swimmers. But staff who test the water are supposed to be

able to see the drain grate at the bottom of the deep end. They became con-cerned in previ-ous years when they couldn’t.

Moody pool fi lters could soon be put to testThey’re bigger pools,

and the size of the water-handling system is completely different.”

Here’s the scenario: summer fi nally has arrived.There’s glorious sun, long evenings, and the

world seems to have gone on vacation.Parks are packed with people, morning, noon,

and into those long evenings I was talking about. The beaches are probably just as packed with sun soakers, fun seekers.

The world is resplendent with care-free, fi ll-your-boots fun.

The dilemma: You’re not having it; you’re at work.

The patsy, the chump, the sucker.That’s not me being mean, that’s just

how you feel. And I’m here too, aren’t I? Foolish for not having become a teacher. A “consultant.” A drug dealer.

Maybe your holidays aren’t booked until the end of August. Or worse, Octo-ber. Used them up already? Don’t get any? Yikes! I feel your pain.

You can weep in your Corn Flakes. Rail against the gods. But it will do little to get you some desperately needed Vitamin D, sporting shorts, tanks and fl ip-fl ops.

So what is a person to do? One approach was summed up well in a great

old Kids in the Hall skit in which a savvy construc-tion foreman introduces his work-weary labourer to the on-the-job slip-ups that can book you some R&R with the Goddess of Compensation.

“I thought I recognized that look,” says the fore-

man to his grumpy employee.“What look?”“The look of a guy who’s daydreaming of a

disabling but a non-crippling injury.”And later, the foreman elaborates: “There is

a way for a guy to get what’s coming to him. It’s called compensation.”

“Compensation?”“It comes from a Latin word, meaning

‘free money.’”It’s true that, during weeks like this,

some people suddenly develop carpal tun-nel after 20 years at the keyboard, just for July-August, or they catch a rash of sum-mer colds, and use up their sick time.

Meantime, for those responsible folks out there—and yes, boss, that’s me, I swear—there’s got to be a better way.

How to inject a little fun, while still get-ting the (bloody) job done?

Here are a few suggestions I gleaned from colleagues, online and up there in my noggin while I was staring out the window, yearning to be on the other side of the fi shbowl:

• Get outside. On your lunch break, walk with a colleague, meet a friend for lunch, fi nd a park and read a book in the sunshine. Got a meeting? Have it in the park. Bring a box of ice cream sand-wiches. To break up the summer, set up a work picnic or softball game.

• Buy iced cappuccinos for the afternoon break.

• Sometimes your attire can infl uence your state of mind. Why not wear fl ip-fl ops and shorts to work? Crazy Hawaiian shirts. Put a little zinc on your nose. Silly, but better than a nervous breakdown. A colleague of mine suggests women try sparkly shoes and perfume that smells like the beach (cocoa butter?).

Sometimes it just comes down to making the after-work stuff more “summery” and breaking out of the usual September to June routine.

Some ideas:• Have a picnic dinner after work, at the beach,

the park, your deck or in the yard.• Treat the weeknights like weekends. Go for

drinks. See a movie. Hook up with friends. Go to an outdoor pool, lounge on the deck.

In the end, sadly, there’s no perfect way to alle-viate the rather-be-having-fun-in-the-sun-instead-of-nosing-the-grindstone affl iction. Work, after all, is called thus for a reason.

So perhaps we should start a petition based upon the suggestion of Sheila Keenan, who on Twitter posited that because colder places in Canada get snow days, we should have something similar here.

“Vancouver should get two or three sun days this summer. On really gorgeous days, everyone gets the day off.”

I’m with you, Sheila. ■ Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader.

They cut in without signalling, speed, tail-gate, yak on their cell phones and blast their horns in anger.

Lower Mainland motorists are a belligerent bunch. So says a new opinion survey con-ducted by Ipsos Reid for ICBC.

According to the poll, 55 per cent of resi-dents believe drivers in their communities have become less courteous over the past fi ve years. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while three per cent thought drivers are more courteous.

Most people surveyed (82 per cent) had encountered fellow drivers who were late in signalling or didn’t signal at all — the single biggest peeve cited in the survey.

Seventy-one per cent reported being tail-gated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off.

But there were also the bad-mannered louts who yelled, swore, made obscene ges-tures, waved their arms or fi sts, fl ashed their lights menacingly, and even (let the road rage begin) stole parking spots.

Who are these motoring miscreants, these behind-the-wheel warriors whose heated emotions can impair other drivers’ ability to concentrate and react on the road, thereby putting everyone at increased risk of crash-ing?

Certainly not you... right?Along with drivers behaving badly, the

poll also revealed an amusing disconnection: drivers in denial.

While those surveyed gave their fellow motorists a “C” letter grade for courteous driving, they gave themselves a stellar “A” or “B” rating. In other words, most Metro driv-ers don’t believe they’re part of the problem.

The late comedian George Carlin once said, “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

Next time you get annoyed in traffi c, better give that mirror a second look.

lettersHas New Westminster’s

city council done a dis-service to taxpayers of this city during its last council meeting, when a contro-versial zoning amendment bylaw for a project at 125 Columbia St. was passed by only one vote, with the deciding vote coming from the mayor?

I think so. Legally, it may be argued there was no wrongdoing—but ethi-cally, it stinks. One should ask if this swing vote is a reward to the developer for a political contribution in the thousands of dol-lars ($2,000 from Ballenas Project Management, of a total of $58,850 received from donors—Editor) to the campaign of the mayoralty candidate during the 2008 election?

Supporting councillors (Bill Harper, Lorrie Wil-liams and Jonathan Cote) and the mayor referred to the recently passed Downtown Community Plan (which calls for increased density in the Downtown area) as being the reason they voted to approve the amendment. Interestingly enough, at the same time they also voted to reduce the city’s requirement to provide 1.5 parking stalls per unit down to 1.0 for this project in an area of our

city which already lacks on-street parking, never mind the increase of additional demand this project will create.

A totally unbalanced approach—if you follow one rule or plan, follow them all, don’t cherry pick or change them to suit your needs.

The question remains: was this support payback for a campaign contribu-tion? A prudent mayor would have recused himself from any discussion and the vote, but our mayor did not.

Had he not cast his vote, this bylaw would have been defeated as a result of a tie.

Voters and taxpayers of New Westminster, it is time for change. Remember in November.

Walkers be waryRe: Safer? More like more nimble and wary (Letters, NewsLeader, July 1)

This is in response to Mary Wilson’s letter about pedestrian accidents in New West.

Mary—I would like to know if you are also a driver (as well as a pedestrian).

I enjoy both walking and driving, but being a pedestrian also requires the same due care and attention as being behind the wheel.

Don’t step off the curb until you see the “whites of the driver’s eyes.” There are blind spots for drivers on some of the precarious intersections in New West (Sixth Avenue and Eighth Street comes to mind).

Please don’t assume that just because you have the right of way you will be safe to cross any street any-where. Your safety is also your responsibility.

Laughable editorialRe: A worthy ambassador (Editorial, NewsLeader, July 1)

Your inevitable support for disgraced premier Gordon Campbell shows right-wing loyalty but faulty judgment. There are a couple of comments in your adulation, however, that I think deserve special attention and maybe a bit of laughter:

“While this has caused some snarky comments in B.C.,” you write, “where Campbell’s popularity remains on a par with a snake’s belly, this is a good appointment.”

Wait a minute—in a democracy, is a cushy appointment really good when the appointee is heartily disliked and mis-

trusted by so many of the people he was supposed to represent? If his appoint-ment as high commissioner to the U.K. required a vote, would Campbell have won election?

Then your editorial states: “While those who are upset with the B.C. Liberals may not like this appointment, they need to look beyond provincial politics.”

Another minute please. Campbell himself never looked beyond his own self-serving version of provincial politics, and that is the precise reason for his downfall.

Why accountants support the HST

I am the chair of the Certifi ed General Accoun-tants Association of British Columbia. I am also one of the senior shareholders of a medium-sized public accounting fi rm in Rich-mond.

First off, I am not a big fan of more tax. I am a fan of a simpler tax and the HST is certainly that. Under the old Provincial Sales Tax, things were a lot more com-plicated. It was not evenly or fairly applied to goods and services. It wasn’t even

logical. Consider that PST was payable on unicycles but not on bicycles, on car battery recharging but not on car battery boosting, and on fl ower bulbs but not onion bulbs. It was extremely confusing.

Worse, the PST was applied to goods that busi-nesses built or made, which meant that an additional seven per cent was added to the price even though the product may have been “tax-free” at the fi nal point of sale. Of course, it wasn’t, it was just “tax hidden.”

CGA-BC argues that the HST is a fairer tax system. It follows a global standard — now used by more than 140 countries — to foster investment, growth, exports and jobs.

Opponents of the HST say it is unfair because it trans-fers the tax burden from business to the consumer. In my view, the consumer either pays the tax directly via a value added tax like the HST or indirectly through a tax embedded in the cost of the product. Either way the consumer pays. I would prefer the tax to be transparent. Then again, I’d also prefer to pay 10 per cent rather than 12.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERDavid Cobb, the skipper of the old Chief Skugaid, takes a break as he awaits an opportunity to take his historic boat in for service at Fraser Shipyards in Queensborough. He’s had to tie his boat up at the Fraser River Discovery Centre because of the damage to the railway swing bridge just downriver.

By Mario BartelNEWSLEADER

With the old railway swing bridge taken out of commission by a gravel barge last week, Quay-side residents say they’re sleeping better now that trains can’t shuttle back and forth between Lulu Island and the switching yard. Historians and boat buffs are also getting an unexpected benefi t.

The Chief Skugaid, one of the oldest working fi shing vessels in British Columbia, has tied up at the pier in front of the Fraser River Discovery Centre as it awaits a chance to access the Fraser Shipyard, just downriver from the broken bridge, for annual service work.

The Chief Skugaid was built originally as a tug boat in 1913 at the Vancouver Shipyards. It was converted to a fi sh packer with a capacity of 60

tons for halibut and it’s still active out of Prince Rupert. Along the way, it’s had a colourful his-tory, including a 10-year stint as a rum runner during Prohibition in the United States. On Dec. 20, 1935, it was involved in a collision with a ferry at Evans Coleman Wharf in Vancouver.

The vessel’s current skipper, David Cobb, said he has no idea how long he’ll be tied up at the Quay.

“The weather is nice and there’s plenty of good grub at the market.”

In the meantime, he’s only too happy to inter-rupt his tinkering to tell stories and answer questions about the boat.

As a bonus, the Capital C, an old US Army tug that was one of the fi rst boats on the scene at the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska in 1988, was also tied up alongside the Quay on Wednesday, as it awaited a rendezvous with a barge.

Steve Hosking

You Asked...Q: Why is being family owned

so important?

A: I can’t begin to list the reasons, but if I had to boil it down to one element, it would have to be personal caring commitment.

Our funeral-home family is a living example of the difference

between serving your family and just serving a corporate operating manual. There are times the manual is ‘out the window’ as personal situations develop. What happens when there is little or NO money. No one has ever been denied service. Being family owned allows us to be exible in nding solutions. During nearly fty years of

family service, we have adapted to your needs.

Within a second or two it’s all ground into wood chips. The hog spits it out onto another conveyor belt that isolates the pieces that are too big and sends them back into the hog to be ground up to the appropriate size while the good stuff continues on out-side to await shipment.

Expansion eyedAt that point it

becomes hog fuel. Urban’s biggest cus-tomer for the chips is Howe Sound Pulp and Paper. About once a week, a barge docks at the facility and picks up a huge load and takes it up the coast to Port Mellon to power the mill. Urban also sells to other outlets, includ-ing greenhouses. The demand for hog fuel often depends on the price of natural gas, says Fournier.

While Urban picks

up some extra bucks by siphoning off metal and yard waste, Harvest is anxious to increase its diversion rate from 50 to 95 per cent.

To make that magi-cal number possible, Harvest has begun

the process of seeking a federal grant, with city support, to fund a proposed $16 million upgrade to the facility.

The expansion, says Fournier, would include enclosing all the tipping and load-ing areas, keeping all dust and dirt indoors and away from neigh-bours.

It would also include the installation of a cutter that would chop plastic into blocks no bigger than four inches. The blocks would then be sent to customers such as Lafarge Cement which would use the ‘per-formance enhanced

fuel’ instead of coal to power its plant.

The upgrade would not involve making sweet crude oil or require an incinerator as some have feared, insists Fournier.

Last week, Harvest held an open house to show its plans to the community, which in turn made the com-pany aware of issues it didn’t know existed and will work toward correcting, says Fournier.

“So far they’ve liked what we’ve said. Now it’s up to us to walk our talk.”

By Mario BartelNEWSLEADER

The Tour de France is more than 8,300 kilometres away. It’s 1,742 kilometres to the nearest NASCAR race, in Fontana, California. But elements of both will be in North Burnaby on July 14 when the Giro di Burnaby returns after a two-year hiatus.

Starting with a women’s race at 6 p.m., some of the top bicycle racers from around North America will zoom around a 1.85-km course that looks a little like a dumbbell with a long straightaway on Hast-ings Street between Rosser and MacDonald avenues. When they’re fi nished their 20 laps at approxi-mately 7 p.m., the men will line up at the Carleton Avenue start-fi nish line for their 30-lap event.

The Giro is a criterium race, a fast-paced, action-fi lled competi-tion in which the riders can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. And when they’re moving that fast in a tightly-packed cluster, anything

can happen. That’s where the NASCAR

element comes in. Just like 600 horsepower cars speeding around a race track, cyclists can draft off each other to save energy for dramatic slingshot passes. They also work in teams, sharing the workload so that one of their team-

mates can have enough left at the end to charge for the win. There’s even pit stops, as racers will have an area where they can change a wheel that’s gone fl at for a new one, or get emergency assistance with a troublesome derailleur or brake.

Criterium an intense ride

And, just like in NASCAR, there’s bound to be spills as a touch of wheels or inopportune bump can send a rider—or even a whole pack of them—to the pavement.

The Giro is part of BC Superweek, a con-fl uence of independent races around Metro Vancouver with more than $65,000 in prize money up for grabs. That ensures a top fi eld. Tyler Farrar and Lance Armstrong raced in Superweek before they found fame and glory at the Tour de France and other top inter-national events like the Giro d’Italia or the Vuelta d’Espana. American Chris Horner, who raced at the last Giro di Burnaby, will be sleeping off a 209-km mountainous stage from Cugnaux to Luz Ardiden in this year’s Tour de France instead of returning to Hastings Street.

Top Canadians, like the new national road race champion Svein Tuft, and pros like Christian Meier and Dominique Rollin have also raced in Superweek.

The other races in Superweek are the Tour de Delta, a three-day event that includes two criteri-ums and a road race, the UBC Grand Prix on July

12, and the Tour de White Rock, which is comprised of a grueling hill climb, a criterium and a 130-km road race.

In addition to the exciting racing, spectators at the Giro can also fuel up at the many mul-ticultural restau-rants and delis in Burnaby Heights or stroll through the athlete’s village in the Safeway park-ing lot at the corner of Rosser and Hast-ings, where they can ogle the racers’ lithe carbon fi bre bikes and watch the mechanics get them

race ready, as the riders warm up on stationary trainers.

The Start/Finish for the 1.85-km Criterium race is at Hastings and Carleton. The women’s race starts at 6 p.m., followed by the men’s race at about 7:15 p.m.

On Friday evening, July 14, 2006, the Giro di Burnaby, an event born from the idea of city councillor Pietro Calendino made its debut on the streets of the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood.

The event, named as a tribute to Burnaby’s Italian community and to the world famous Giro d’Italia (the second largest and richest cycling race in the world) saw 63 men and 24 women fi nishing the inaugural race to a cheering crowd of approximately 7,000 spectators.

In 2007, the Giro di Burnaby offi cially became part of the well-established BC Superweek series (Tour de Delta, Tour de Gastown and Tour de White Rock) which now presents eight sizzling competitive cycle races over 10 hot days. The 2007 Giro di Burnaby saw the rider fi eld double with 134 men and 56 women lining up to race to a crowd of over 10,000 spectators. After a two-year hiatus following the 2008 race, the Giro is back, and this year cyclists will race for an amazing $15,000 prize.

How Giro got off the ground

Photo and story by Mario BartelNEWSLEADER

Krassimir Velkov’s athletic aspirations were a collateral casualty of the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. Now, six years after immigrating to Canada, he’s helping propel the ambitions of a new generation of athletes to run faster, jump higher and leap further than their peers.

Velkov was 10 years old when he fi rst started competing at school-age track and fi eld meets in his native Bulgaria. When he was 12, he was selected to attend a state-sponsored sports school where he combined his studies with training sessions twice, and sometimes three times, a day. It was the same system that cultivated so many Olympic medalists and international champions from Eastern Bloc countries through the 1970s and ’80s.

“In Bulgaria, we wanted to win,” says Velkov, 38.

A middle-distance runner who also competed in

the high hurdles, Velkov was on the cusp of mak-ing Bulgaria’s national track and fi eld team when the iron curtain fell. The sports schools closed.

Instead of running for glory, Velkov marched for his country, completing his compulsory two-year stint in Bulgaria’s military. Then he went to university in Sofi a, studying physical education, physiotherapy and track and fi eld.

When Velkov moved to Canada and settled in New Westminster, he started passing on his knowledge to young athletes at local track clubs. But his competitive instincts ran deep and he was frustrated by their emphasis on recreation and participation.

So he started working individually with his more motivated athletes and in April he regis-tered his own Elite Track and Field Academy with BC Athletics.

It’s been a nomadic start for Velkov and his stable of more than a dozen runners and jumpers who range in age from fi ve to 43; they started at Mercer Stadium, but renovations there to install a new track have forced them to move their training sessions to Byrne Creek secondary and St. Thomas More schools. When the weather is inclement, they run around the concourse at the top of the stands at Queen’s Park Arena.

But that hasn’t deterred his charges like Hiban Adem, 22, who’s originally from Ethiopia and eagerly travels fi ve or six days a week from his home in Burnaby to wherever the club is holding training.

“I want to keep improving,” says Adem, who played soccer as a boy and was introduced to track by a friend. “I can run any distance now, but I prefer distance running.”

Or Mikhail Titov, Elite’s only Masters athlete; a former biathlon competitor in his native Russia, he found the club when he wanted to start train-ing for distance runs.

“It’s some kind of motivation,” says Titov of the two or three workouts he’s able to fi t in every week between juggling his family and work responsibilities. “It’s more effi cient to improve.”

Velkov’s performance-oriented coaching is already paying dividends; his athletes won seven medals at the recent Jessie Bent Invitational in Coquitlam, and four more at the Pacifi c Invita-tional in Langley.

“I want to pass on winning to my athletes,” says Velkov. “This is my life.”

Elite is hoping to return to Mercer when the new track opens. For more information contact [email protected]

Burnaby Lakers goalie Patrick Bayliss could only hold back the tide that was the New Westminster Salmonbellies for so

long. Their 13-9 loss to the second-place Sal-monbellies on Friday at Copeland Arena was no refl ection on his play.

The 20 year-old keeper stood on his head in the fi rst two periods against the Salmonbellies as the Lakers were outshot

40-25 but the teams remained on even terms on the score clock, 8-8.

In the third period, the ’bellies kept com-ing, bowing Bayliss for fi ve straight goals before the Lakers were able to claw one back with a second left in the game.

Tyler Digby led the Salmonbellies with four goals and a pair of helpers while Daniel McQuade, Reagan Harding and Leif Myd-ske all scored twice.

Jaxson Lee scored four times for the Lakers and added an assist.

The two rivals played a rematch on Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena, with the ’bellies winning 10-4.

• The New West-minster Salmonbellies are atop the national Senior A lacrosse rankings released Monday. The Salmo-nbellies have eight wins, two losses and a tie. They displaced the Brooklin Redmen of Major Series Lacrosse in Ontario who slipped to third, behind the Peterborough Lakers.

SATURDAY, JULY 9SATURDAY, JULY 911AM TO 4PM11AM TO 4PM


by Kerry Vital

If you’re looking to get away while still being in the middle of everything, Townline’s Th e Gardens in Richmond will be just the place for you.

Th e development’s fi rst residential project, Magnolia, is only the beginning of this amazing space.

“Th e Gardens is unique in the sense that you will be away from it all, but ... everything you will need is at your door step,” says Townline’s Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Chris Colbeck.

Magnolia will be a four-storey building with three levels of residential, anchored by retail space on the bottom fl oor. A total of 92 apartment homes will be released, and sales will be starting soon. Colbeck is expecting a great turnout.

“Based on the the unique purchasing opportunity that Th e Gardens provides, the interest from the public has been phenomenal,” he says. “Th e fact the purchasers will essentially have a 12-acre natural garden at their doorstep is an amazing attraction that (they) will not fi nd elsewhere.”

Floorplans range from 485 to 919 square feet, and are available in a variety of one-bedroom and two-bedroom fl oorplans.

While each home has its own unique

charm, all of them have a plethora of amazing features. Prospective homeowners who have stopped into the presentation centre have no shortage of compliments. “(Th ey) are loving the suite layout and the stylish West Coast homes and architecture,” Colbeck says.

Every kitchen will be built in a modern U-shape, which gives homeowners a large amount of counter space so you’ll never need to worry about where to put anything. Luxurious quartzite slab countertops and matte white backsplash tiles combine for a sleek, contemporary look, as if a splash of sauce will never mar the cool perfection. A stainless-steel appliance suite is ready for all your cooking needs, and soft -close cabinets with brushed nickel hardware and under-cabinet puck lighting are seamlessly integrated into the entire design.

Bathrooms at Magnolia are built to be soothing and serene. Soaker tubs are included, and faux marble ceramic tub splash tiles are the perfect complement.

Polished-chrome faucets by Moen are standard, in addition to the hardware by Taymor and a ceramic drop-in white sink that brings to mind a luxury hotel bathroom.

Buyers at Th e Gardens will have access to Th e Gardens Club, which will hold a badminton court, ping pong, basketball hoops, a meeting room and a fully equipped gym.

Situated on the site of the former Fantasy Gardens, only a castle is still standing at Th e Gardens. Th e castle, a replica of Coevorden Castle in the Netherlands that was given to the city for Expo 86, will be turned into a daycare centre.

Th e Gardens is impossibly close to everything a homeowner will need, from shopping to restaurants. Across the street from the Ironwood and Coppersmith shopping centres, Th e Gardens is also close to excellent public and private schools, and is minutes away from the Canada Line. Residents looking for entertainment will fi nd it at Riverport, where they will discover the SilverCity movie theatres, Th e Zone bowling alley and WaterMania pool, just a few minutes away by car.

Homes at Magnolia start at $218,800 for a one-bedroom. For more information visit liveatthegardens.ca or call 604-271-3331.

Submitted photosHomeowners at Townline’s Magnolia at The Gardens will always be surrounded by luxury, from the laminate fl ooring in the living and dining areas to the soft elegance of the master bedrooms.

Magnolia is growing in Richmond

18th annual Parade of Renovated Homes a success

GVHBA puts home renos on display Renovators and their clients from

throughout the Lower Mainland came out to strut their stuff last month.

Th e Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) held its 18th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12, which saw 12 homes with recently completed projects opened to the public. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson describes the event as a big success, with each home averaging between 180 and 200 visits and some receiving as many as 265.

Contractors were on hand to explain the projects to prospective clients, while homeowners got a chance to show off their snazzy new digs.

“Th ey enjoyed it as much as the folks who were touring,” Simpson says. “Everybody

seemed to be quite happy, they got lots of ideas.”

With Lower Mainland homeowners set to spend $4.4 billion on renovations this year, Simpson says the parade was a great way for homeowners to fi nd inspiration for their own houses and also meet contractors.

“I view it as a great success as an awareness event, where people can see how renovations should be done,” he says.

Simpson says the visitors left with lots of ideas for renovations in their own homes.

“Th ey could see that their dreams for their homes are quite doable,” he says. “Th ey left enthused to go home and start their process.”

Th ose who missed the event can visit www.gvhba.org for information on the projects and tips on starting your own renovation.

With the disappointing spring, we couldn’t wait for a warm and

sunny day to show itself to and pull out the shorts and san-dals. Along with summer days, comes that well-deserved vaca-tion. Whether you’re exploring someplace new or heading to your favourite destination, we all have one thing in common—we can’t wait!

So what are your plans? Will you be heading out to that favourite spot, exploring a new destina-tion or staying right here in town?

Having a remote cabin, my husband Derek and I usually play it day by day. With the

exception of a few projects, this is our time to unwind and relax. I did say usu-ally! This year, with family visiting from jolly old England, we have been working through the days to make sure that they see what this beautiful province has to offer, while having a great time.

Instead of taking the regular route to the cabin we have decided to switch it up and take Highway 1. This route is rich in history (home of the 1858 gold rush) and has breathtaking, photo-opportunity views of the Fraser River around every bend.

Wrapped up in all the planning, pack-ing and excitement, we have a tendency to take the quickest route to and from our destinations. Stop! Before you head out

to the Cariboo or Interior this summer, rethink your route and don’t take the Coquihalla over the mountain tops. Slow down your travel and go through the mountains via Highway 1 (AKA Trans Canada). It will only add approximately 88 minutes to your driving time (as per Google maps), but the spectacular views will be well worth every minute.

Not going out of town? Then be sure to take a stroll along the New Westminster Quay boardwalk and pop into the Fraser River Discovery Centre for a guided tour. Led by experienced interpreters, new and wonderful things about the river will be revealed as visitors explore the centre’s many interactive exhibits. Tours are at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday throughout the summer and are included in the admission donation.

Until then, have a great summer!

■ Cindy Sale is the communication and event coordinator at the Fraser River Discovery Centre.

As a non-profi t registered charity, we take in hundreds of orphaned and injured native mammals every year and nurse them back to health and release them back to the wild.Our 12th annual Open House is a once-a-year opportunity to visit our site and go on a guided tour and see all the baby animals.

LOOKING FOR HOST FAMILES FOR

PRO CYCLISTS!The Giro di Burnaby organizing committee is looking for local families who would be interested in hosting a pro cyclist coming to BC to race the Giro di Burnaby. For many cyclists, their trip here will be made possible by the generosity and hospitality of a local hosting family. Being a host family is a great opportunity to see inside the world of competitive cycling. In addition, you will have someone to root for at the races and to perhaps inspire you and your family to dust off those bikes and get out on the incredible network of Burnaby’s cycle paths!

If you have spare accommodations on July 13th and 14th and are interested in hosting a Pro Class male or female cyclist, please contact 604-842-7830 or email: [email protected] for more information.

“….these world class athletes were so inspirational, we traded in our mountain bikes for road bikes. We will be ringing our bells again at the Giro this year.”

– Billet Host, Giro di Burnaby.
