The couple walks into a new South Burnaby eatery and asks the manager if they serve free-range eggs. The manager says no. “If I bring them over would you cook them?” the woman asks. Thus was the start of one of the numerous partnerships established by Urban Digs Farm since taking

over an abandoned farm on Byrne Road last year. Farm manager Julia Smith said there are always mutual benefits to be had. Livia Lunch opened last December in the Riverway business complex across Byrne from Market Crossing shopping centre after co-owner Irina “Livia” Varga, an accountant, and her engineer husband lamented that there wasn’t any place nearby where they liked to grab an affordable, non-fast-food lunch. Urban Digs Farm now supplies

them with free-range eggs and local produce and customers appreciate knowing they were grown just down the road, said the restaurant’s manager and cook, Robynn Maher. “People appreciate the fact they’re getting something … that has a provenance to it,” Maher said. And since the breakfast-andlunch restaurant closes at 2:30 p.m., Smith asked to rent their commercial kitchen after hours. That’s where she was on a recent afternoon with partner Ludo Ferrari, prepping pickled eggs for 4x1.25_book_drive_ad_final.pdf sale at the River District farmers

market in South Vancouver. Also there were husband-and-wife-team Michael and Lindsay Kaisaris, co-owners of Re-Up BBQ who were producing sausages for customers of Urban Digs’ community shared agriculture (CSA) boxes. Business is good for the farm, Smith said, so much so that she’ll have to delay plans to set up a farm stand. With the CSA boxes, farmers markets and orders from Vancouver restaurants such as Bishop’s, Wildebeest and Fable, most of her product is already spoken for. 1 12-03-05 1:20 PM please see TAkINg lOCAl, A3

The value of building permits issued in Burnaby so far this year is trending toward a possible record. To the end of June, the city issued permits valued at a total of $427.1 million. That’s far ahead of the same period last year, when permits valued at $238.5 million were issued, or in 2011, when the figure was $287.2 million. “It seems Burnaby may be heading for a record year for development,” said Coun. Pietro Calendino. “It’s at $427 million and we’re only halfway through the year.” The full-year record was set in 2008—before the effects of the global economic downturn took hold—when building permits valued at $792.5 million were issued. Calendino stressed the added development doesn’t just mean more highrises and condos, but also amenities such as community centres and parks which city hall receives through its density bonusing program with developers. Building permit values in Metro Vancouver hit $7 billion in 2007, according to Statistics Canada, before dropping off. In 2012, it had almost returned to that mark. twitter.com/WandaChow

But to make sure they squeeze as much revenue as possible out of the growing season, they make sure to process whatever is past its absolute peak of freshness into other products. That can include jam, pickles, salsa, sauerkraut, pesto, even honey, soup and tomato sauce. Across the road at pricesmart Foods Market Crossing, Smith is there in her black pickup truck as often as twice a day to collect scraps from the produce department to feed her pigs, chickens and geese. “From a business point of view, we were having to pay to have the organic compactors picked up and taken out, so for the company, absolutely there’s a cost savings,” said produce manager Cody Hockin, adding it’s also part of their efforts to support the local community. Lettuce trimmings, bruised apples, over-ripe bananas, “the pigs certainly don’t seem to mind,” said Hockin, noting they supply her with four to five garbage bins full a day. “They’re well fed, that’s for sure.” Indeed, on a recent trip to the farm the pigs were happily slurping down expired hummus, and chomping on contributed oranges, red peppers, lettuce, cabbage and carrots. The chickens and geese were quick to gather round when Smith showed up offering a wheelbarrow full of fruits and vegetables. “They like grain too but you can’t really compare grain to pomegranates,” Smith said. “The quality of our products is so much better because of the diet our animals get.”

For mattressrecycling.ca on North Fraser Way, giving it to Urban Digs or other gardeners saves the company from having to dispose of it at a composting facility or Burnaby incinerator, said Fabio Scaldaferri, its CEO and co-founder. Scaldaferri’s company was the first to pioneer mattress recycling and take advantage of the regional ban on sending them to landfills. Giving it away is another step in its efforts to recycle all the components of each mattress it receives. It’s all part of a system of economic and environmental sustainability that Smith feels needs to be highlighted. “Most people are missing this part of the story,” she said. “Everyone wants to talk about local food, but it’s an economic story.” And in the Big Bend area of South Burnaby, it’s all part of creating a sense of community in an area that’s something of an offbeat mix of industrial, commercial, agricultural, recreational and even residential land uses. Maher added she’s even hired Smith’s teenaged son as a parttime dishwasher at the restaurant. “It keeps it in the family all over the place.” For her part, Smith said, “I really get a kick out of working with all these local businesses I can get to in one minute.” Info: www.urbandigsfarm.com. twitter.com/WandaChow

CN to remove staff from rail bridge

A plan by CN Rail to monitor and operate the Second Narrows rail bridge remotely from New Westminster isn’t sitting too well with Burnaby council. Media reports say CN plans to eliminate the three staff at each of the Second Narrows and Lulu Island rail bridges and centralize their lifting and lowering at its New Westminster bridge. Coun. Nick Volkow noted that in 1979 when a Japanese freighter struck the Second Narrows rail bridge, it took six months to put the span back into operation. And, he added, if Kinder Morgan is successful in its proposal to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline to serve export markets for crude oil, an estimated 730-plus oil tanker ships a year will be using Burrard Inlet. “What is CN thinking in eliminating the human factor in the rail bridge over Second

CN plans to operate the rail bridge on Burrard Inlet remotely, via an operator at its New Westminster bridge.

Narrows?” Volkow added that news of the plan has only come in recent days, suggesting the company wants to slip it under the radar over summer. The nine people working on the three bridges each earn a gross income of $52,000 a year, he said. Mayor Derek Corrigan said it’s important to consider the issue in light of the potential for increased tanker traffic. “It seems we’re taking away the presence of the coast guard, taking away the presence of individuals at the railway

bridge. I mean, those are things that should be of serious concern to our community and other communities around Burrard Inlet,” Corrigan said. “I’m worried there’s simply going to be rubber-stamp approval of this issue and the implications probably won’t occur to us, they’ll probably occur to our children or our grandchildren.” Council directed staff to report on the implications to Burnaby of the rail bridge staffing changes at Second Narrows.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Who’s next? From Ben Johnson to Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, then Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, Tim Drummond, Shawne Merriman, Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong. Now three Jamaican sprinters and an American, all former world champions or past Olympic medalists, have tested positive for banned substances, performance enhancing stimulants. This list of athletes caught doping is much longer, dating back to at least the statesponsored drug programs in East Germany that started in the 1960s. More are sure to be punished, once Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic is complete. We know why these athletes do it, why they cheat—they want to make the team; they want to win; they want to be the best; they want fame and money. No matter the excuse, it is disappointing the level doping has reached, the extent of the cover up. It is at a point now where no one who sets a new standard or approaches one thought to be unobtainable is without suspicion. One NFL player said earlier this year that HGH use the rampant in his sport. The league and players association still have not agreed on a testing program. Drug testing in professional hockey and soccer is also considered inadequate. So suspicion persists. And as long as it does, no fan will ever know whether what he or she is witnessing is real or not. It’s a mirage. Knowing that, the sport becomes watching to see who will get caught next. That’s sports entertainment today. The real shame is that more young athletes, those still in high school, believe that to achieve their dreams, they must use performance enhancing drugs or stimulants. – The Maple Ridge News

Balancing indulgence and excess There’s nothing like a month in Rwanda to make the excesses of our children extremely clear. I confess to buying too many dresses for my granddaughter. It’s a combination of distant grandma guilt and how cute she is twirling around. She likes to flounce and I like to buy her dresses to flounce in. She has too many—enough for five Rwandan girls of her age and size. And it’s the same for my one-year-old grandson. There are great clothes for little boys! Not that he needs them either. His mother swaps bins of baby clothes with other mothers; some are brand new, never-worn gifts. Drawers of them. Twenty pairs of tiny socks! He just pulls them off. I haven’t mentioned toys but they fill a playroom. Birthdays provide a deluge of toys, and Christmas is ridiculous. I admit to buying an Easy-Bake Oven and a kiddie car. And the tiny tool bench. And dress-up costumes. In Rwanda my friend Hilary gave four-year-old Sandrine a tiny stuffed bear with pink and red hearts on it. Her brother got a stuffed penguin no bigger than

Anne Hopkinson my hand. They were delighted. They have no other toys. Children crowding the doorway to their mud walled home were envious. I felt awful. Rwandans live with very little, and we live with so much. Are we simply buying too many things? Maybe because we can afford them, we do afford them. My granddaughter was whining because she didn’t have one of the My Little Pony collection and I had to bite my tongue. She lives in this culture, in this society of possessions. Of course she wants Rainbow Dash. “Then all the ponies can run together, Grandma.” She attended a birthday party with 34 other children. They had a great time swimming and eating, fencing with pool noodles and screaming. But the gifts! Thirty-five gifts for a six-year-old boy who has a house full of toys

already. Excessive. Years ago my own children had a pile of toys and a closet of clothes too. So we donated to girls overseas to assuage our guilt: having, balanced by giving. We’ve given cows and goats, education and glasses, wells and medical procedures. We’ve given our time, energy, and skills. Still, it’s easy to continue a life of excess here in Canada. It’s easy to give too much to the people we love. The downside of generosity may be that children are learning to expect too much. Satisfaction is hard to find if the quest for more/newer/better becomes the norm. Maybe they could live with less, even thrive with less. Some of our happiest times were spent on beaches and in forests, in fridge boxes and games in the back lane. Playmates were more valued than screens, and a sprinkler and a popsicle made for a great afternoon. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” but most Canadian kids don’t need anything. Even the poor seem to have things in Canada. I love it when my grandchildren find a worm or

a snail, a rock they love, or a stick they carry on a hike. They find toys in nature as well as in a coffin-sized toy box. How many stuffed animals does one toddler need? He loves the panda and hugs it tight, loves the talking bear, and is scared of the jumping Tigger. Then there’s a whole bin of neglected dolls and critters. One day they’ll go to a local charity. Or I could send them to Rwanda; I know some kids who need them. But the real solution to excess is not buying in the first place (retailers shriek in horror). Yes, sales are tempting. Sales are the way to go for items we need. I’ll just keep reminding myself of the difference between want and need. I’ll shower my grandchildren with experiences rather than clothes and toys. Sounds like New Year’s resolutions. Oh-oh. Anne Hopkinson is a retired Burnaby teacher who travelled to Rwanda to train pre-school teachers in oral language activities in English. She travelled with Embrace Rwanda, a humanitarian group based in North Vancouver.

Why the parking premium? recommended.” No explanation or motivation. In any case, it was prohibited, not limited. Whether the relevant city planners wished to reduce incoming traffic or to make a green gesture, one consequence is that a lot of drivers were financially punished for taking their cars to what was supposed to be a free concert. There is a thin line between symbolism and absurdity. If this is the municipal mindset, the city may as well tear up all the lots and plant

trees and gardens. We could save the entire world! Instead, why not focus on actually improving public transit? So long as people need to drive, there must be parking spaces, and they cannot have stupid cones on them. Duh! Elias Ishak Burnaby

Council orders forced clean-up of home after owner had to be rescued twice Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby council wants to see a regional approach to dealing with the problem of hoarders. On Monday, council utilized a rarely used provision in the Community Charter to force clean-up of the inside of a South Burnaby home where the owner has twice had to be rescued after being trapped under his stuff. As reported in the NewsLeader, in January it took nine firefighters more than two hours to free the owner, a man in his 70s, who had been trapped under a pile of clutter for days in his home at 6925 Mandy Ave. They broke down the front door and cut him free from the mess with a chainsaw but the operation was complicated by “the shifting debris impeding their movement inside the home and concerns for their own safety,” a city staff report said. After being released from hospital he was placed in an assisted-living facility in Burnaby. But on July 2, he again had to be rescued from the Mandy Avenue house, in an effort that took 12 firefighters one-and-a-half hours, the

Groups unveil anti-racism mural at Marlborough Neighbourhood Care The South Burnaby Neighbourhood House and Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table (BIPT) unveiled their anti-racism mural on Thursday. The mural, which adorns a wall at Marlborough Neighbourhood Care on the corner of Royal Oak and Sanders, is the result of community workshops that brought together people of different ages and diverse backdrops to explore the origins

of racism and responses to racism. The concepts discussed in the workshops were then incorporated into the mural by a professional artist. Funding for the mural came from Welcome BC. The mural’s official debut was accompanied by a barbecue, entertainment and children’s activities. The BIPT is a group of representatives from 25 different

agencies in the city including health, education, volunteer groups and immigrant services who conduct research, organize community dialogues and forums to raise awareness about multicultural issues. The group is also spearheading its World in Burnaby project to help make the city the most welcoming community in the country to immigrants and newcomers. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Last batch of Stanley Cup riot charges sought VPD says suspects from Victoria, Langley, Port Coquitlam Jeff nagel Black Press

Vancouver Police are seeking charges against another 27 suspected Stanley Cup rioters, including three high school friends from Victoria. It’s the final bulk batch of charges VPD say they’re requesting related to the night of

mayhem and violence more than two years ago in downtown Vancouver. A 25-year-old Port Coquitlam woman is accused of punching another woman in the face who tried to protect an unmarked police car in the hours after the Canucks lost the Cup final. Police say the Good Samaritan suffered facial and dental injuries, while the attacker was also caught on video

entering The Bay. A 24-year-old Langley man who was out on bail on firearms charges the night of the riot may also face assault and riot-related charges. He was filmed kicking another man on the ground in a swarming attack on Granville Street and later was taped breaking into the Bay. The three high school friends from Victoria are expected to face up to 15 charges.

“The three were captured on video committing multiple crimes throughout the night, including breakins to four separate businesses,” VPD Supt. Dean Robinson said. They were later caught by Transit Police on SkyTrain with store merchandise that still had price and security tags attached. Police are also seeking charges of break-and-enter, mischief and participating in a riot

against two 14-year-old boys. Crown has also recommended charges against Daniel Amesbury, 22, of Maple Ridge. He’s 14th accused suspect to be charged out of 15 identified by police in the brutal swarming attack on Good Samaritan Robert Mackay, who tried to keep looters from breaking into The Bay during the riot. Amesbury is charged with assault,

They now serve the main Vancouver Island runs. Corrigan said BC Ferries will examine whether new ships can be run on liquefied natural gas instead of diesel. That increases the construction cost, but fuel savings are projected to pay for themselves in as little as eight years.

no longer expected, the VPD says further charges may come one or two accused at a time. “For those rioters out there that believe they can wait us out and hide from us and be disguised with anonymity, we will find you and you will be brought to justice,” Robinson said. Police have sought a total of 1,204 charges against 352 rioters. twitter.com/jeffnagel

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.
