NEB asked to order ‘full and adequate’ responses from Kinder MorganJeff NagelBlack Press
The province has filed a motion with the National Energy Board asking it to compel Kinder Morgan to provide “full and adequate” responses to questions about its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The demand is one of a series of similar requests of the NEB after Kinder Morgan responded to a series of first-round information requests by various intervenors in the project review.
The province submitted more than 70 requests related to maritime and land-based spill response, prevention and recovery systems.
But the government says Kinder Morgan’s failure to provide sufficient information in the responses means B.C. can’t fully understand the risks posed or judge whether the project would meet B.C.’s condition of world-leading spill response systems.
According to the provincial filing, Kinder Morgan refused to release its
Pedestrian struck by car in busy four-way intersection recentlyWanda [email protected]
Burnaby resident Mike Bhangu had just stepped off a bus on June 30 sometime after 5:30 p.m. He was in the crosswalk heading home when he was struck by a car.
The impact threw Bhangu, 45, to the ground and knocked him unconscious.
“I just saw a bunch of lights, I didn’t know what was happening.”
The next thing he remembers, he was riding in an ambulance and paramedics were telling him they were taking him to Vancouver General Hospital.
The accident happened in the intersection of Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street, just a block away from Burnaby Hospital. But paramedics were concerned he might have a head injury, so they took him to VGH for a brain scan, Bhangu said.
On Friday, when he met with a reporter, Bhangu still sported visible bruises on his head and the soreness
of his injuries had him walking slowly with a limp.
Meanwhile, area resident Jim Favaro has started a petition to address what residents believe is a longtime need for a traffic signal at the intersection.
Favaro was among the first on the scene of the accident, staying with Bhangu and trying to keep him comfortable until ambulance crews arrived soon afterward.
He’s lived in the area since 1986 and has seen quite a few changes in the neighbourhood. Despite the significant increase in the volume
of traffic, the four-way stop at that intersection isn’t one of them.
“In 2014 a four-way stop does not meet the safety needs and traffic needs of this intersection any longer.”
There’s no shortage of area residents who have connections to collisions at that corner. Carol Lewis said in the 1990s her daughter, who was in her 30s at the time, was also struck, suffering bad bruises. Another woman on the street, who didn’t give her name, talked of her own recent close call.

Incinerator not polluting: MV report
Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy incinerator in Burnaby isn’t polluting the air, says an environmental monitoring report.
Continuous monitoring of emissions at the South Burnaby facility, as well as manual spot testing of the plant’s smoke stack found it contributed only .003 per cent of total fine particles emitted into the air in the Lower Fraser Valley, which stretches from Metro Vancouver to the Fraser Valley Regional District and south to Whatcom County in Washington State. That’s well within provincial regulatory requirements, something the incinerator has been able to achieve throughout its 25 years said Metro Vancouver Board chair Greg Moore.
“Its performance has improved over time due to continuous operational improvements and frequent upgrades of emission control systems,” he said.
The incinerator burns about 280,000 tonnes of waste each year, creating steam to generate electricity to power 16,000 homes.
The full report, as well as current readings from a network of 27 air monitoring stations that stretch from Hope to Horseshoe Bay can be found at www.metrovancouver.org.

About 15 years ago, residents asked Burnaby city hall to take action. But after studying it city staff determined the traffic volumes didn’t warrant any changes, Favaro said.
But the situation has only gotten worse, he said.
The problem is Kincaid is no longer just a side street.
It’s a regular thoroughfare for motorists, including transit buses and commercial vehicles, trying to get to Burnaby Hospital and Discovery Park business district.
The intersection is also used by ratrunners trying to avoid congestion at Boundary Road and Canada Way on their way to Willingdon Avenue.
Add the traffic of people trying to get to Cascade Heights elementary a few blocks south on Smith, other local residents and pedestrians
and you’ve got a “dangerous mix,” Favaro said.
There appears to be much confusion over who has the right of way.
During last Friday’s noon hour, a reporter witnessed several close calls. An SUV was almost struck by a transit bus. Another bus had to delay turning a corner until a delivery truck cleared the intersection. And a pedestrian looked across the street to her right and hesitated before crossing only to be startled by a car stopping suddenly on her left.
Favaro ran unsuccessfully for city council in 2011 under the Team Burnaby banner. When asked, he said he does not plan to run again this year. “This is a community issue without any political overtones.”
The petition, both on paper and online (http://bit.ly/1vSNi36), had
garnered about 86 signatures by Monday afternoon.
Unlike a four-way stop, traffic signals are not open to interpretation. “Drivers are conditioned to respond to lights,”
Favaro said.“The only conclusion we will
accept is a traffic light—pedestrian-controlled and with priority access for emergency vehicles.”
Favaro contacted Burnaby city hall asking to be a delegation to city council. He is now slated to present their case to the city’s traffic safety committee on Sept. 2.
Burnaby’s engineering department has already started looking into the concerns.
“A traffic signal is a possibility at the intersection of Kincaid and Smith, both streets are classified as Local Collectors,” said Doug Louie, assistant director of engineering for transportation services, by email.
“In determining its suitability, we look at the traffic conditions and history of collisions among other things. We will be reviewing the intersection in light of the request and recent events.”
Emergency Response Program, citing its confidential and sensitive contents.
That could instead be treated as a confidential filing, the province argued, if the NEB decides it can’t be safely put on the public record. But the province indicated it may argue against confidentiality, citing a federal government pledge for more transparent pipeline safety regulations that ensure companies’ emergency and environmental plans are “easily available to the public.”
“The province is not able to prepare questions for the second round of intervenor information in the absence of adequate responses to the requests filed for the first round.”
B.C. also wants the NEB to extend its Sept. 11 deadline for intervenors to file second-round information requests, saying it’s “impossible” to file meaningful follow-up questions by then, even if Kinder Morgan provides more information in the
meantime.The City of Burnaby
is one of the intervenors who has also filed a notice of motion to the NEB on the inadequacy of the company’s response to its 1,500 questions over 300 pages.
A city staff report said
Kinder Morgan only answered 24 per cent of them. Another 14 per cent were partially answered and 62 per cent weren’t addressed at all.
Burnaby city hall’s review of the responses “was made even more challenging and time consuming as Kinder Morgan often directed the City to review its response(s) provided to Information Requests of other Intervenors,” the report said.
“It is to be noted that Kinder Morgan had identified ‘new commitments’ to some of the City’s Information Requests. However, these were largely commitments to ‘work or discuss with the City’ various issues, however, no real or tangible commitments were made by Kinder Morgan to the substantive issues raised.”
Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who submitted nearly 500 questions, is also among intervenors who have filed similar motions.
“Many of the answers I received are simply unacceptable,” Weaver said. “They are refusing to consider any oil spill larger than a small fraction of a tanker’s cargo, and basing their oil spill analysis on a response capacity that simply doesn’t exist.”
More than 10,000 questions were submitted in the first round of information requests.
Since the process bars oral cross-examination at upcoming hearings, intervenors will have only have one more chance to pose written questions.

It’s already possible to get fine French macaroons, chocolat, and croque-monsieur in Burnaby Heights.
On Thursday Hastings Street will enjoy a taste of another French tradition.
As the Tour de France bike race prepares to conclude the first week of its three-week circumnavigation of France, some of North America’s top cyclists will line up at the starting gate for the annual Giro di Burnaby criterium.
The action-packed race along a tight 1.2 km course that loops up and down Hastings Street between MacDonald and Madison avenues is the fourth stop of BC Superweek, a series of nine races in 10 days around Metro Vancouver. A total of $120,000 in prize money is up for grabs.
For the first time, that prize money will be equally distributed to the top finishers of both men’s and women’s races.
The high stakes help attract a top field of racers. In fact, three cyclists currently competing in the Tour de France have raced at the Giro di Burnaby. Svein Tuft and Christian Meier are racing for team Orica-GreenEDGE and Chris Horner is carrying the colours of team Lampré.
This year’s men’s field likely to appear at the Giro includes Whistler’s Will Routley, who was the King of the Mountains at the prestigious Tour of California in May, and North Vancouver’s Ryan Anderson, a six-year pro who won last year’s UBC Grand Prix.
Leah Kirchmann is the biggest name in Superweek’s women’s races. The 24-year-old Winnipeg native dominated last month’s Canadian national championships, winning the criterium, road race and individual time trial. Denise Ramsden will also return to defend her Giro di Burnaby winner’s pink jersey.
Unlike the Tour de France, where spectators can stand along the roadside for hours to catch a glimpse of the peloton
as it whizzes by once en route to the finish line 150 kms or more from where they started, the Giro is a criterium race.
The women will race 30 laps around the 1.2 km course while the men race 45 circuits.
That provides plenty of opportunity to see all the exciting aspects of bike racing as riders sprint ahead to try to break away from the field, teams work together to conserve the energy of their leader and put him in a position to win, cyclists jostle for position heading into the tight turns,
and let it all hang out at speeds up to 60 km/h along the 200 metre downhill straightaway on Hastings Street.
To raise the stakes and keep the racers motivated, the race is also punctuated by a series of primes, or mini one-lap races within the race that award the first rider over the finish line with a cash prize. Listen for the bell that signifies a prime.
This year’s Giro starts with the women’s race at 6 p.m. while the gun goes off for the men’s race at 7:15 p.m.

Ask the Pro Q: When I hit the ball into the trees yet it is still in-bounds, should I try and hit the Home Run shot and go for birdie or, should I attempt to punch out and try to save par or bogey? Answer: We always advise hitting a punch shot out of trouble. Watch video The punch shot: To hit a punch shot, grip down on the club, put the ball back in your stance and keep your weight on your front foot. This shot requires only a half swing so don’t be tempted to over-swing as this will inevitably create a back spin and make the ball fly higher when ideally we want to keep the ball close to the ground. To keep the ball low, we have to take the club back at a lower angle; the lower your finish, the lower the ball will fly. The hero shot: The hero shot usually creates far more trouble than it’s worth. You might get lucky, but, you’re more likely to end up with more frustration and higher scores. We hope to see you working on your game at our practice areas and Driving Ranges soon. Thanks for swinging by!

Over the past several days media outlets have reported on a report prepared by Robyn Allan related to the development cost funding of Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
The stories and the report in no way present a full explanation of the facts.
Let me attempt to describe the fairly complex arrangement in place.
In 2008, Trans Mountain found itself facing a growing and unprecedented demand from its shippers for tanker loadings at its Burnaby facility. As our pipeline also serves the important lower mainland gasoline market, and the refinery market in Washington State, the amount of oil we can deliver to our dock in Burnaby is limited. At the same time, our shippers were attempting to grow offshore markets, and the monthly bidding process that determined who got access to the limited dock space did not provide the certainty they needed to develop these offshore markets.
The solution Trans Mountain proposed, supported by our shippers, was we would “auction” space at the dock to the highest bidder for a 10-year period. This process resulted in five of our shippers securing this “firm service” at premiums over the normal pipeline toll. The fees collected by Trans Mountain for this service are on average $1.45/barrel, or roughly $28 million per year.
Rather than keeping this additional revenue, Trans Mountain agreed with its shippers to put the money in reserve to help pay for system improvements, including expansion development plans. The real long-term solution to the pipeline constraints that led to the firm service offering is the
expansion of the pipeline as is currently being proposed.
The agreement we struck with our shippers was the firm service fees would cover development cost risk for the project, and they would be used to reduce the ultimate total cost of the project if it was approved and built by late 2017.
If we are successful in getting the project approved, approximately $136 million will have been set aside to credit against the total cost of $5.4 billion.
If the project does not proceed, the firm service fees will offset much of the anticipated development cost, and any cost in excess of fees collected will be shared with our shippers.
For large projects such as this, shipper backstopping of development costs is not uncommon.
In this case we agreed to use the fee that shippers volunteered to pay for all important increased capacity to B.C., Washington State and tidewater towards the development cost.
Ms. Allan is correct in that the fees paid by those few shippers will be treated as an expense for them, and they are not considered revenue to the pipeline.
However, the important fact she overlooks is that the revenue realized by the shipper for those exported barrels will ultimately be higher than they could otherwise attract selling into the North American market.
Otherwise, they would never voluntarily pay more for the firm dock service. The shipper, and the Canadian economy is net better off by exporting the barrel and accessing a world price that exceeds the North American price.
I have continued to attempt to convey the facts about our pipeline expansion plans, and will continue to do so in the face of opponents who prefer to misrepresent the facts in order to sway the public’s opinion.

School’s out and British Columbia’s teachers are still on strike.
Or are they?Drive past any of the province’s
more than 1,600 public schools and the picketing teachers who waved at passing motorists, eliciting horns of support or scorn, are absent. Their signs pleading for better education for their students with smaller classrooms and better class composition are packed away.
For all intents and purposes, it looks like another routine summer holiday season around BC’s schools.
And yet it’s not.The acrimonious dispute that
put the teachers on the street, and kids’ education on hold, continues.
But there are no longer pickets to remind us that the strike is still on.
That may be a missed opportunity for the teachers’ union to score a point in the battle for public support in this dispute.
Continuing to picket the province’s schools through the summer, even in a skeleton fashion, would have been a constant reminder of what this dispute is about. Teachers could have shown their commitment to the cause they say they’re fighting for by continuing that fight even when they’re normally on holiday.
And maintaining pickets through the summer would have increased the pressure on the government to reach an agreement, as CUPE workers had pledged to honour teachers’ picket lines meaning routine summer maintenance, repairs and paperwork wouldn’t get done.
The provincial government is relying on public perception that teachers are already well paid and get to enjoy two months off every year to win support for its position.
Seeing pickets march in the hot summer sun might have won fans for the teachers.

COMMENT
Re: A way to break the payday loan cycle (NewsLeader, June 27)
There is a reason banks haven’t gone after this group of potential clients in the past and payday loans companies have huge interest rates.
THE RISKS ARE HUGE. If someone is having
problems with a $50 phone bill, how long do you think $1,000 will last with all the other expenses people face?
Once someone borrowing from Vancity burns through the $1,000, they can’t go back to Vancity for more, so they go to the payday loan company again which puts them back to where they started or worse.
Most people in debt are good people who just don’t manage money or expenses properly. Rather than being offered more money, people have to be taught how to live within their means and not shop at expensive grocery stores or go for a pricey phone or phone plan.
Maybe if ACORN wanted to do something useful they would do that, rather than worrying about how many payday loan companies are in a neighborhood.
If Vancity really wants to help the debt problem, they should look at the credit cards they give people which allows someone to continue racking up more debt on the card while paying a measly three cents on the dollar every month and then have the remaining balance be charged a whopping 19-20 per cent interest.

WHAT IS PURPOSE OF PROVINCE’S MADNESS?
The B.C. government wants to raise the current speed limits on some of our highways by 10 kilometres per hour. I have read few articles, in reference to the issue, and frankly I’m still not sure of the real purpose of their madness.
Are we becoming such a fast pace society that by gaining approximately 10-15 minutes on a 400-kilometre trip is going to make a difference? A vast majority of drivers already surpass the speed limits by anywhere between 10 to 20 km/h, and this, I believe, would continue to be the scenario over and above the new increased speed limit.
I’m convinced we have nothing to gain by this futile and outrageous change. To the contrary, we will increase our consumption of gas, we will increase the emission of greenhouse gases and, in my opinion and more importantly, the number of fatal accidents.
Leave our speed limits alone. Life in a fast lane is nothing more then destructive. Let’s take a deep breath, slow down, and enjoy our trips starting by driving to the destination, and increasing our chances of safely getting there.

NO GONDOLA NEEDEDRe: Fight for gondola
(NewsLeader, June 20): Ms. Buechet and fellow students at SFU are no doubt very smart and aware crowded buses and time delays are results of over-populated areas. There is no way to financially accommodate easy, swift travel to every area of the city. Basic education and health care both of which are far more important than a gondola for SFU must also be funded by government.

GIVE US A SHORTCUTRe: 70 per cent approve of Burnaby’s pipeline opposition (NewsLeader, July 2)
If the City of Burnaby could create a cheat sheet outlining simply the pros and cons of this (with links to the information), that would be very helpful!
You can counter their advertising with the truth, i.e. “Kinder Morgan says this _____” ... from the City of Burnaby’s perspective, the truth is _____.”
And then keep updating that information. So many of us don’t have time to read the 15,000-page proposal.
But we do have time to read the cheat sheet! (From someone who lives within 2-6 blocks of the current jet fuel and oil lines.)

The 60th anniversary of the Miracle Mile will be celebrated with a rare running of the mile distance during the Harry Jerome Classic track meet at Swangard Stadium Thursday.
On May 6, 1954, England’s Roger Bannister was the first to crack the four-minute barrier at 3:58.8. Australia’s Roger Landy did it in 3:58.0 seven weeks later.
That made the anticipation and hype extremely high for their first race against each other. It was promoted as The Race of the Century, and it was at the
British Empire Games in Vancouver Aug. 7, 1954.
Bannister and Landy didn’t disappoint. Before 35,000 spectators crammed into Empire Stadium both ran sub-four minute miles. The pivotal point came down the stretch when Landy looked over his left shoulder at the same time as Bannister blew by him on the right.
A statue commemorating that
moment sits at the entrance to the Pacific National Exhibition.
Organizers of the 31st annual track and field meet have decided to honour the anniversary by including a mile race. The more common distance these days is
1,500 metres, a shade shorter than a mile. The $15,000 prize pool for the event—the winner gets $10,000—has attracted many top distance runners.
Swangard Stadium is an appropriate place for the anniversary race. It has a connection to the original race even though it wasn’t even built then. Bannister, Landy and Canadian bronze medallist Rich Ferguson returned to Vancouver for the Sportsmen’s Dinner in September 1967 to help raise funds for a junior stadium.
The force behind the fund raising was Vancouver Sun managing editor Erwin Swangard, who the structure is named after. Paul Swangard,
Erwin’s grandson, is the managing director for the University of Oregon’s sports marketing centre and will be the stadium announcer for the 2014 Jerome Classic.
Many of the Canadian athletes will be using it as a tuneup to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which run July 23 to Aug. 3.
For more information or tickets go to www.harryjerome.com. The opening ceremonies will be at 6:45 p.m. with the first international event at 7 p.m.
A Burnaby man is among four people arrested in connection with a dial-a-dope operation, say Langley RCMP.
The investigation against the organized crime group started in
2012. Police allege the group was trafficking crack, powder cocaine and heroin in Langley and was so busy with its first dial-a-dope phone line, a second number was started up.
The group’s activities
were monitored for nearly a year while drug squad officers identified suspects and their roles in the operation.
The drugs were kept in rented “stash houses” throughout
the Lower Mainland which police allege were used for cooking crack, packaging of drugs and counting and processing money. Five such houses were used within a one-year period.
On four separate occasions drugs were seized by police, including nearly 600 grams of crack cocaine, 100 grams of powder cocaine, and 230 grams of heroin.
Just over $8,000 in cash was seized for a total value of cash and drugs of over $140,000.
Four vehicles were also seized with two already referred to the Civil Forfeiture process, and police seeking criminal forfeiture for a third. The fourth vehicle was returned to the leasing company.
Four people were arrested on June 26, including Mikhail Marinov, 30, of Burnaby. Both he and Ruslan Makhmudov, 38, possibly of Richmond, were charged with one count each of instructing an offence-trafficking in cocaine and heroine
for the benefit of a criminal organization, and conspiracy to traffic cocaine and heroin.
Two Langley residents, Tyson Tull, 39, and Ashley Smits, 20, are each charged with one count of committing an offence-trafficking cocaine and heroin for the benefit of a criminal organization and conspiracy to traffic cocaine and heroin.
Tull faces an additional two counts of possession
of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Smits is also charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of heroin for the purpose of trafficking.
Marinov and Makhmudov were remanded in custody for a bail hearing on July 10 at Surrey Provincial Courthouse. Tull and Smits were both released on bail and are to next appear in court on July 22.

As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in
helping secure long-term health and reduce risk of injury.
Exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a woman’s risk of suffering a potentially
debilitating injury. Some women who
are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better night’s rest. Numerous studies have
shown that routine exercise can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day.
Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition. But even women confined to wheelchairs or those forced to walk with a cane or walker benefit from cardiovascular exercise and even light strength training.
Many feel their time to embrace exercise has passed. But it’s never too late to start. Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walking is a great beginner’s exercise.

Q : My two brothers and I are trying to wind up my dad’s estate. It has been dreadful. Dad’s Will is
complicated,with investments that we’ll have to wait at least a year to clear up. We’re able to disburse my late sister’s portion to her estate, and his girlfriend and the grandchildren all got paid out their entitled inheritance. So now it comes down to us three children.
We finally agreed to get an appraiser for anything that seemed valuable. Now we’re at odds over the personal and sentimental items from my dad and late mother. There’ve been many heated conversations.
Even selling his old car became a battle when I took an offer $500 under the asking price. I feel like this will never end. It is exhausting. To complicate things more my brothers don’t feel our late sister’s children are entitled to anything other than specified in the Will.
If I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s to make sure your parents or the seniors you are responsible for make a distribution list of their valuables or sentimental stuff before they can no longer speak for themselves.
Sincerely,Frustrated
In a state about the estate
Eve Silverman
Dear Frustrated.Inheritance feuds can be an expensive, time-
consuming and plain ugly. The executor has the final responsibility to follow the Will’s instructions, but can also follow any designated list of items that the deceased did not include in the Last Will.
Of course if you three are the executors, you are back to square one on how to fairly divide the possessions. Those things appraised should be easier
to divide based on value, but obviously more difficult if the siblings want specific pieces.
We all want to be thought of well after we’re gone.
Whatever you leave your heirs should be
a good memory of you and your considerations.
You don’t want their memories of you to be the huge hassle of dividing your estate.

A16 NewsLeader Wednesday, July 9, 2014A16 NewsLeader Wednesday, July 9, 2014
A s the population demographics and our society’s needs dictate, so are more and more seniors finding and enjoying
the remarkable benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic is one of the most scientifically researched and reviewed health professions, and perhaps it is the leading health profession when it comes to health benefits, with the least adverse side effects.
Chiropractic, now more than ever before, is part of a healthy lifestyle for many seniors who want to increase quality of life by adding not just years to life but “more life to years.”
As a growing body of academic research builds, extolling the health benefits of chiropractic care for seniors, this only serves as a backdrop to the outstanding results that individual patients are seeing under chiropractic care.
One such study looked at a large group of seniors over the age of 65 under chiropractic care, who had been maintaining their spine healthy for five years or longer. When comparing these seniors to others not getting chiropractic, some remarkable major health differences appeared.
For example, the chiropractic seniors saw their medical doctor only half as often and they took nearly 70 per cent fewer drugs. That’s less than a third!
And a whopping 96 per cent of the chiropractic patients believed their care to be either “considerably” or “extremely” valuable to their well-being.
Another study looked at a large group of seniors over the age of 75 under chiropractic wellness care over a period of time.
Comparing them to the averages for people their age, the chiropractic seniors showed some impressive advantages.
Eighty-seven per cent were much more likely to rank their health status as good to excellent.
Chiropractic patients reported fewer health problems, less illness, less arthritis symptoms and used significantly less medication.
They were more likely to exercise regularly and were much more active in their communities.
Isn’t that what’s it all about at this stage? It’s all about quality of life. The seniors under chiropractic care were also
less likely to be hospitalized or to end up in nursing homes.
Seniors looking for effective strategies to manage or prevent arthritis, and live pain free are finding a solution in chiropractic care.
Safe, natural and clinically effective chiropractic care is a big part of many seniors’ healthcare because it serves so many vital roles—to naturally help keep seniors pain free, mobile, functional, active and independent.
As we get older, does it make more sense to just try to add the years to our life, or should we also choose to add more life to our years?
