It appears Kinder Mor-gan will have another hoopto jump through if an ex-pansion of itsTrans Moun-tain Pipeline is ever going tobecome a reality.

Last week, B.C.’s Envi-ronmental Assessment Of-fice (EAO) officially noti-fied the energy company

the proposed billion-dol-lar project would have to gothrough the province’s envi-ronmental assessment pro-cess.

According to the letterdated April 8, Kinder Mor-gan Canada may not under-take or carry on any activityrelated to theTrans Moun-tain Expansion Projectwithout an EA certificate.

The order also noted that,

while the proposed projectis being assessed by the Na-tional Energy Board (NEB)under the terms of an equiv-alency agreement betweenB.C.’s EAO and the NEBthat would allow for just onereview, a recent court deci-sion found a portion of theagreement was invalid.

The order went on tostate: “The Executive Proj-ect Director considers that

the proposed project mayhave a potential significantadverse environmental, eco-

nomic, social, heritage orhealth effect, taking into ac-count practical means ofpreventing or reducing toan acceptable level, any po-tential adverse effects of theProposed Project.”

BenWest, the execu-tive director ofTanker FreeB.C., said he was expectingthe order to be issued, butadded his group is trying tofigure out what the process

surrounding the assessmentwill look like.

Burnabye-petition isfirstA first for Parliament in

Ottawa has roots in Burn-aby.

Earlier this month, thefirst e-petition in Canadi-an history was tabled in theHouse Commons; a callfor the federal governmentto ban the sale and use ofelectric shock collars onhouseholds pets.

The petition, which hasbeen signed by 5,400 peo-ple, was initiated by Burn-aby residents Gwendy andAlfieWilliams.

Burnaby South MPKennedy Stewart, whosponsored and then ta-bled the petition, said hewas proud to introduce thepetition in the House ofCommons.

Stewart’s motion forParliament to accept e-pe-titions passed in January2014, considered a rare

feat for an opposition back-bencher.

He also credited thework of the Burnaby cou-ple for gathering the signa-tures and bringing the peti-tion forward.

“That’s really good onthem, they did a fantasticjob campaigning,” Stewarttold the NOW. “These areregular citizens with a verydeep concern about a par-ticular issue and now thePrime Minister is going tohave to answer them be-cause of the electronic pe-tition.”

Under the old rules, peo-ple had to collect a mini-mum of 25 signatures onpaper and find an MP totable the petition in theHouse of Commons. Now,if there are 500 signatures,the government has 45days to respond in writing.

In this case, Stewart not-ed since the petition is ask-ing for a criminal code

change, it will be the jus-tice minister who will haveto respond.The responsewill also be emailed to allthe people who signed thepetition.

The Burnaby MP viewsthe new system as a re-sounding success.To date,

over 60 official e-peti-tions have received near-ly 150,000 signatures fromthe public.

It should be noted, Stew-art has sponsored six e-pe-titions, tying him for the

If construction activityaround Burnaby went outlike a lion in 2015, the firstthree months of this yearappear more like a lamb.

City building permit val-ues are slightly down for thefirst three months of 2016,following a record year in2015.

So far this year, the cityhas handed out 448 permitstotalling $121-million invalue. More than half of theoverall number ($63 mil-lion) came in the month ofMarch alone. But it’s downfrom the 425 permits worth$149 million issued in thefirst quarter of 2015.

In all, $54 million or, 45per cent, of the permits sofar in 2016 went towardsingle-family construction,with another $34 milliongoing toward multi-family

construction.A total of $90 million of

permits were for new con-struction, while the rest wasfor alterations or repairs.

But a slower start isn’tnecessarily indicative ofhow the year will turn out.In 2013, the city handedout $325 million worth ofpermits in the first quarter,ending up at $674 millionfor the year.

Last year, the city broke arecord that went all the wayback to before the 2008 re-cession, handing out $879million on building permits.

The record for build-ing permit values was $792million, set in 2008.

In 2014, the city handedout $698 million in build-ing permits, while in 2013,2012 and 2011 issuing$674 million, $514 million$615 million in permits re-spectively.

decision on that.“It’s definitely another

problem for Kinder Mor-gan in terms of getting theirpipeline built,”West told theNOW, noting opponents ofthe project have been call-ing for two separate reviewsfor years.

“I do think this is a pos-itive in the sense that itmeans a more fulsome re-view, and more opportunityfor people to give feedbackin a more meaningful way.”

He also suggested now,with the provincial assess-ment ongoing, a decision bythe federal government onthe project, which is expect-ed by December, may notbe the end of the road forthe pipeline expansion.

In an email to the NOW,the EAO said as a result of arecent B.C. Supreme Courtdecision, the project will re-quire a provincial environ-mental assessment certifi-cate.

The office said prior to

referring the project to theprovincial government fora decision, the EAO “willconsult with aboriginalgroups to inform the prov-ince’s understanding of howthe project may impact ab-original interests – treaty

rights and asserted or deter-mined aboriginal rights, in-cluding title – and whetherany additional mitigation oraccommodation may be re-quired.”

The EAO also not-ed there is currently no set

timeline for the activities re-garding the certificate andthe next steps are depen-dent on the proponent’sreadiness to proceed.

TheTrans Mountainproject also released a state-ment regarding the EAOcertificate: “The Order is-sued by British Columbia’sEnvironmental AssessmentOffice is an opportunityforTrans Mountain to en-sure the Expansion Proj-ect is meeting or exceedingits environmental commit-ments, and are addressingconcerns of First Nationsgroups.We look forward toworking cooperatively withthe EAO through this ad-ditional review process andare confident that our on-going consultation will earnthe required Environmen-tal Assessment Certificate toresponsibly proceed.”

It’s an issue that somecommunities around Met-roVancouver have had todeal with for years, and nowBurnaby is looking to tacklebear problems in the city.

Last week, the city’s en-vironmental committeegave the green light to abear-resistant green-bin pi-lot project for multi-fami-ly properties serviced by themunicipality.

The project comes aftercity staff noted an interest inthe bear-resistant bins fromresidents living in multi-family units who had a lim-ited ability to store them in-side.

According to a staff re-port, the pilot project willrun for one year in selectedstudy areas, with the focuson multi-family buildingsimpacted by bears accessingwaste bins.

Coun. Anne Kang, theenvironment commit-tee chair, suggested resi-dents are coexisting withnature and it means peoplewho live in neighbourhoodsaround wildlife will have tobe more vigilant to avoidconflicts.

“It’s playing a part togeth-er to make sure that we dothe best to preserve our en-vironment,” she said, notinga date for the start of the pi-lot project will be firmed upafter council approval.

The councillor doesn’texpect the pilot to eventual-ly go city-wide, just in areasthat are dealing with bears.

The city is budgeting$50,000 for the project,which will be included inthe 2016 gaming interestfunding request.

The goal of the project isto identify the effectivenessand durability of bear-re-sistant bins, the challengesin servicing the contain-

ers, any bylaw amendmentsthat might require to be ad-dressed and the requiredscope and scale of an educa-tion/outreach program.

Each of the selected prop-erties willing to participatein the pilot project will beprovided with bear-proofgreen bins.

The city also noted a fi-nal report at the end of thepilot project could also offerrecommendations to assista limited number of single-family homes that both havetrouble securing their binsindoors during non-collec-tion days and are impactedby bears accessing their gar-bage and green bins.

It does appear the num-ber of bear sightings inBurnaby is on the rise. Lastfall, the conservation servicesaid it had received a num-ber of calls about bears overthe past couple of years,with an increase in 2015.

Toughpolitical talk failsreality testFor the umpteenth

time, a judge’s gavel hasquashed sections of Ste-phen Harper’s tough-on-crime legislation for violat-ing the Charter of Rightsand Freedoms.

This time, it is manda-tory jail time for non-vi-olent drug convictions,which the court found tobe cruel and unusual.

Politically, you can’tgo wrong getting toughon the bad guys. People

have a visceral responseto crime. But those whosit in court day in and dayout know the reality isnever so black and white.

Forcing judges, againsttheir own better under-standing, to mete out pun-ishments disproportionateto crimes has been costly,and not just to our prisonand court system.There isa human cost for the peo-ple who have been caughtup in a politically conve-

nient but ultimately unjustlegislation.

If public safety is whatwe’re after, it’s too late bythe time a case reaches ajudge’s sentencing. Farmore important are the in-

terventions among high-risk populations that weknow are far more likely tofall into crime in the firstplace.The legacies of pov-erty, untreated mental ill-ness, abuse and addiction

don’t suddenly disappearfollowing a long stretch inthe clink.

We’ve yet to see whatwill define the relationshipbetween the Prime Minis-ter JustinTrudeau and thecharter his father wrote,but we’re heartened by in-structions he issued hisjustice minister upon hertaking office.

The emphasis now is“increasing the safety ofour communities, get-

ting value for money, ad-dressing gaps and ensur-ing that current provisionsare aligned with the objec-tives of the criminal justicesystem.”

That’s a big improve-ment from “Lock ’em upand throw away the key.”

Vet saves stabbed woman

PlayinggameswithHydro

Ask most British Colum-bians what they expect fromB.C. Hydro and the answerwould likely be “keep mypower on and keep my rateslow.” Because the Crowncorporation does just that– although the electricityrates continue to climb – itis viewed in mostly positiveways. Its linemen are seen asheroes during major storms.

Indeed, a recent surveyby B.C.Business Magazineranked B.C. Hydro the mostinfluential brand in all ofthe province, even giving ita high “love” score from thepublic.

However, B.C. Hydrois owned by the provincialgovernment and increasing-ly, the government’s use (ormisuse) of the corporationraises some serious ques-tions that go beyond keep-ing the lights on in every-one’s home.

Questionable account-ing practices, costly budgetoverruns and an avoidanceof independent oversighton some matters have ledcritics to accuse the B.C.government of using B.C.Hydro as a whipping post tosuit its political interests.

Historically, one can makethe argument this has alwaysbeen the case, to varyingdegrees.The Social Creditgovernment ofW.A.C. Ben-nett created B.C. Hydro af-ter nationalizing B.C. Elec-tric for political purposes.

The NDP governmentof the 1990s also used B.C.Hydro for political pur-poses, and became the firstone to extract an annual fi-nancial dividend from the

Crown corporation. It alsodeferred much of the spend-ing required for mainte-nance and refurbishment ofB.C. Hydro’s various assets,which is part of the reasonso much is being spent inthat area now

But the B.C. Liberals havetaken things to an entire-ly different level altogether.The government has locked-in contractual obligations toindependent power produc-ers to the tune of nearly $60billion, which means that insome years, B.C. Hydro willlikely be paying over-mar-ket prices for electricity itdoesn’t need.

Then there is the shellgame going on with what isknown as deferral account-ing. Simply put, B.C. Hydrois “deferring” billions of dol-lars of spending to futureyears so that massive spend-ing doesn’t show up on thebooks in any current year.

Yet, the B.C. Liberalscontinue to take that annualdividend – more than $800million over the next threeyears – even though the cor-poration isn’t actually mak-ing money and so has toborrow to pay the govern-ment.

All this borrowed mon-ey will catch up with B.C.Hydro customers (i.e. youand me) eventually.TheB.C. Liberals, however, arebanking on a forgiving pub-lic that sees keeping thelights on – and not worry-ing about accounting shellgames – as its top priority.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

QUESTION:There’s a public art

sculpture at EdmondsCommunityCentre thatacts as awater feature.Apparently itworked forabout aweek and then ithasn’tworked again. Didit break, did theyturn itoff? Is it underwarran-ty?What’s the deal?

– namewithheld

ANSWER:I asked Dave Ellenwood,

director of parks recreationand cultural services whatthe deal is.This is what hesaid.

“The piece is called Rain-Catcher. It really workswhen there’s rain. It’s nothooked up to anything, itdoes work.What it does,it’s an ornate piece, and itcatches the rain water andfilters it down through thepiece and into the (plants)

below. It’s not broken, it justfunctions when it’s raining.

I like it, it’s a strikingpiece, an interpretation ofan environmental mecha-nism. A lot of people like it,we’ve had lots of commentsand it kind of fits with thecentre.”

Additional information:Toronto-based artist Noel

Harding was selected out ofseveral artists to create anartistic marker outside thecentre.The budget for theart piece was $160,000, andit made its debut on July2013.

An exact timeline of whenthe escalator at the bus loopoutside Metropolis at Me-trotown will be fixed is stillunknown, according to themall’s property manager.

Charles Fleck tells theNOW he understands thatit’s taking longer than nor-mal to fix the broken esca-lator, which has been outof service for more thansix months. He says staff is“working diligently” with athird-party contractor andthe B.C. Safety Authority,the body responsible for giv-ing the final green light foran escalator or elevator tocome back online.

“Until the safety author-ity actually says, ‘OK, it canopen up,’ we don’t know theexact time,” explains Fleck.“Obviously they have verystrict standards that have tobe met.”

He notes the delay hasbeen due to a “variety of

factors.”The contractor,who is servicing and main-taining the equipment, hashad issues sourcing the spe-cific parts from suppliers.Asked where those parts arecoming from, Fleck couldn’tsay.

As an alternative, peoplecan use an elevator roughly30 feet away, located insidethe mall.To accompany the

morning rush of commutersand those travelling at night,mall doors to that elevatorare being kept open longer.Doors open at 7 a.m. andclose after 10 p.m.

Fleck adds he’s heardfrom a lot of people, includ-ing those with mobility is-sues. “As soon as possibleis what we’re working to-wards.”

Celina Martin laughswhen she’s asked if shecould have imagined beingwhere she is right now: wait-ing for the new series shestars in to premiere on tele-vision.

“No way,” she says em-phatically. “If you told me ayear ago I’d be on the showright now, I’d just laugh atyou.”

Martin is a 22-year-oldBurnaby resident and By-rne Creek Secondary gradwho’s one of the stars of thenew Family Channel showThe Other Kingdom.Theshow is a teen-based fantasycomedy that follows Astral(played by Esther Zynn), afairy princess from the en-chanted land of Athenia,into the world of the mortalsas a high school student.

Martin appears as Mor-gan, a quirky high schooloutcast and “fairy nerd”who befriends the newcom-er.

It’s all been rather unex-pected for Martin – who,as it happens, never audi-tioned live for her part. Shefirst sent in a tape toToron-to, then got a call for a call-back. At the time, she was inAsia, so she did her callbackvia Skype.Then the showwanted a “chemistry test” –to see how Morgan wouldjell with the other stars –and Martin couldn’t get toToronto, so again, she tested

via Skype.She was inThailand

when she found out, at fouro’clock in the morning, thatshe’d landed the part.

“I just started dancingright there in the airport,”she says with a laugh.

Before she knew it, shewas off toToronto for fourmonths of filming. She ad-mits it wasn’t easy – it washer first time away fromhome, and living on her ownin the big city was a big leapfrom life with her family inBurnaby.

“It was really scary be-cause I never lived on myown,” she says. “It was the

love from the cast and crewthat made me feel at home.”

She’s excited to be backhome, and even morethrilled that she gets achance to share the resultsof all her hard work with herfamily and friends.

“For the world to seesomething you’ve beenworking on for four months,it’s amazing,” she says. “I’mso excited for the viewers tosee the magic, the love. …Viewers are just going to fallin love with the series.”

Martin admits it’s beena surprise to a lot of peo-

ple to find out she’s in theshow.Though people knewshe loved acting – she’s beeninterested in it since highschool, when she took dra-ma classes and took part inhigh school productions –they had no idea she was in-tending to make a careerof it.

“It was actually just ashock for everyone,” shesays. “No one knew I waspursuing an acting careerprofessionally.”

Martin is the first to ad-mit acting is a tough busi-ness, but she’s happy tokeep doing what she’s do-ing: taking acting classesand workshops, learning allshe can about her craft, andcontinuing to get out thereand audition to see whatwork comes her way.

She’s thrilled with thesupport she’s received fromher family and friends andwith how excited everyonehas been for her.

“That really makes myheart melt. It makes me sohappy,” she says.

And, with a chance tosit down and watch thepremiere with her fami-ly on Friday night, Martincouldn’t ask for more.

“I just pinch myself,” shesays. “It’s really a dreamcome true.”The Other Kingdom debuts

with two back-to-back epi-sodes on Family Channelon Friday, April 22 startingat 6 p.m. Check out www.family.ca for more.

Down by six runs with morethan half the game already done,the Burnaby Braves could haveeasily checked out in what was atough bantam exhibition test.

Instead, the 15-under AAAbaseball team countered andshocked the Coquitlam prep Reds7-6 Monday at Kensington Park.

Although it won’t count inthe standings, the victory car-ries weight when it comes to con-fidence, manager KyleWilliamssaid.

“It was a big confidence boost-er for our guys, and an importantwin for the program,” the second-year Burnaby coach said.

“There’s kind of a debate grow-ing over whether bantam AAA orprep programs are better, and thisone felt good to win.”

What was most impressive ishow past exhibition struggles atthe plate were all forgotten, as theBraves strung together a series ofclutch hits when it mattered.

Heading into the fourth in-ning down 6-0, Burnaby’s hopesagainst the 13-1 Reds was to pouron the baserunners – and that’swhat the team did.

Singles by SamVan Snellen-berg, BrendanWang and KazKada loaded the sacks with noneout, but Coquitlam got the nexttwo batters without any damage.Lucas Grant singled in the team’sfirst run.With two out and threeon, Michael Briglio delivered athree-run double, giving him 12RBI in just 14 games to make it atwo-run game.

Williams Camacho-Soto fol-lowed that with an RBI double tomake it 6-5, and the next inningVan Snellenberg tied it on a daringsteal of home plate with two out.

The decisive run came on a se-

ries of defensive miscues, as KyleKochi got on base on what couldhave been a routine ground-out.He proceeded to steal second andthird.The throw to third on thelast steal flew into left field, allow-ing the fleet runner to trot home.

Completing the victory wasWang, who tossed four innings ofrelief and retired the side in orderin the seventh as Burnaby pickedup its second straight win

After starting the regular seasonwith three losses, the Braves col-

lected its first official win of theyear by blankingVictoria Red Ea-gles 11-0 in the second half of adoubleheader on Saturday.

On the heels of a 10-5 loss inthe opener, Camacho-Soto tosseda complete-game two-hitter as theBraves cruised to its first win ofthe regular season.

Camacho-Soto needed just 72pitches to silenceVictoria over sixinnings and did not walk a batterfor his first bantam victory.

JackYaremko opened the scor-

ing for Burnaby with an RBI dou-ble in the first, followed byVanSnellenberg’s two-run double inthe second.The score remained4-0 until the sixth when the Bravesscored seven unanswered runs.Recording multiple hits were Bri-glio,Yaremko and call-up LukePierce, with four hits on the day.

“We didn’t pitch well in the be-ginning of the doubleheader,” re-markedWilliams. “But by the endof that game our guys were throw-ing strikes and that carried over to

(Game 2).”In the opener, walks proved to

be the culprit as Burnaby gave outfive free passes over the first threeinnings and fell behind 7-0.

Reliever Daniel Martin turnedin a stellar job, shutting down theEagles over 4-2/3 innings withoutsurrendering a run or a walk.Thebright light offensively was Kochi’stwo-run single in the fifth.

Burnaby hosts theVancouverMounties tonight, 5:30 p.m. atKensington Park.
