Report: Pipeline will cost city [email protected]

The proposed Kinder Morgan pipe-line expansion could cost cities like Burn-aby millions more in extra infrastructurecosts, according to a study filed as evidencein the National Energy Board hearing fortheTrans Mountain expansion. Meanwhile,Mayor Derek Corrigan is saying Burnaby

can’t be expected to absorb those costs.“Cities have to be able to pass on those

expenses to the people who are making aprofit off the pipeline,” Corrigan told theNOW.

Five municipalities - Burnaby, Surrey,Coquitlam, Abbotsford and theTownshipof Langley - commissioned Associated En-gineering to complete the study.The objec-tive was to determine how much extra they

are already paying, thanks to the existingKinder Morgan pipeline, and how muchmore they can expect to pay if the pipelineexpansion is approved.

According to the study, the current annu-al costs for operating, maintaining and re-placing city infrastructure near the existingpipeline are $5 million for all five munici-palities combined. If the pipeline expansionis approved, the projected costs total $93

million over a 50-year period.Burnaby is now paying an annual $1.2

million, but that could rise to approximate-ly $1.5 million should the second pipelinego through.The 50-year projected cost forBurnaby alone is $17.6 million.

Extra costs associated with buildingaround and maintaining city infrastructureclose to private utility lines is nothing new.

Lindy McQueen wasnominated for her workin the community, specifi-cally at Gordon Presbyte-rian Church. She recentlyfounded the Edmonds Peo-ple in Residence Associa-tion, the report stated.

Heather Podrow has vol-unteered with palliative carepatients and their familiesfor 13 years, and is also adocent at the Burnaby Art

Gallery.Claire Stegen was nomi-

nated for her volunteer ef-forts, specifically throughthe Deer Lake UnitedChurch.

TonyWong is active withthe Alpha Secondary andSperling Elementary par-ent advisory committees.He has also served as chairof the District 1 communitypolicing advisory committeefor more than seven years,according to the report, andserved on the mayor’s taskforce on graffiti.

The local heroes will re-ceive their certificates of rec-ognition at the Oct. 5 coun-cil meeting.

The report notes B.CHydro,Telus and FortisB.C. also have lines throughthe five municipalities. ButCorrigan said those are ac-cepted because they bene-fit the community, while the

oil Kinder Morgan plans toship through the expandedpipeline is slated solely foroverseas markets.

“None of it is going tothe Chevron refinery here.

The oil isn’t destined forour markets,” Corrigan said.“It’s just purely an exportpipeline.”

Kinder Morgan alreadypays roughly $7 million inannual property taxes, andthat’s expected to rise to$13 million if the expansionis approved.

However, Corrigan’s notconvinced that’s enough.

“Property taxes cover, inessence, a whole range ofdifferent services that arealready provided.They’veused up their taxes in thepolicing they caused,” hesaid, referring to the massivepolice presence on BurnabyMountain during the anti-pipeline protests last fall.

The Associated Engi-

neering report is among thedearth of evidence Burn-aby filed for the Nation-al Energy Board hearing ontheTrans Mountain pipe-

line. Kinder Morgan is ex-pected to respond with thecompany’s oral summaryarguments in Calgary thisAugust.

Whistleblowerprotectionneededhere“Enough of the obfus-

cating, weaseling, dissim-ulation, doubletalk, ver-bal subterfuge, stonewallingand other distasteful con-duct that hangs like a mias-ma over the shameful eventssurrounding the precipitousfiring of eight Ministry ofHealth researchers in 2012.”

We couldn’t have said itany better. But we will addour voice to their voice andmany others in this prov-ince.TheVancouver Sun called

for a public inquiry in a no-holds barred editorial on itsfront page last week, andgood for them.

The editorial outlined theoutrageous behaviour of thegovernment after the firings.How it led taxpayers to be-lieve that there was an on-going RCMP investigationin an effort to avoid public-ity and how it’s still attempt-ing to either hide or misleadvoters.

There can be only onereason for such behaviour.

Someone has somethingto hide. In fact, many peo-ple may have many thingsto hide.

The fact that the govern-ment hoped that the moretime went by, the less peo-ple would care has backfiredon them in a very big way.If anything, the cries for ac-countability have intensified.And while the province is-sued a lame apology – onlyafter the family of one of themen sacked, who later com-mitted suicide, kept the is-

sue front and centre – thereare still too many unan-swered questions.Who firedthem and why is the big-gest one.

Could the firings be con-nected to big pharmaceu-tical companies pressuringthe government?We don’tknow, but it looks like only apublic inquiry will result infinding out the answers.

And, we’re not big onpublic inquiries.They areoften very costly and verylong. But when there is no

simpler transparent way offinding out the truth, welllet’s have one then.

Now, if B.C. had someform of whistleblower legis-lation, things like this mightbe averted.

If a government employeediscovers something he orshe believes is wrong, whis-tleblower protection mayprevent the situation fromsnowballing. Just having thewhistleblower protectionmay make potential wrong-doers think twice.

Manitoba, New Bruns-wick, Alberta, Saskatchewanand Ontario have whistle-blower legislation and a fewcities, such asVancouver,do as well. Burnaby doesn’thave whistleblower languagein its collective agreements,and neither does NewWest-minster.

If any form of govern-ment is serious about run-ning a transparent, healthysystem, it seems like a no-brainer to have whistleblow-er protection.

Citizens oppose tank farm

Electiontrulyathree-wayrace

The looming federal elec-tion is already shaping up tobe one of the most intrigu-ing, interesting and histori-cal contests in decades.

Last week, for exam-ple, saw Liberal leader Jus-tinTrudeau hold a splashynews conference. He wantsto change everything fromhow we elect governmentsto how Parliament is sup-posed to work to guarantee-ing gender parity in cabinetto requiring Supreme Courtjustices to be bilingual.

Not to be outdone, PrimeMinister Stephen Harperheld his own big photo-oppromising more than $2.5billion in funding forToron-to’s transit system. Nothingparticularly new there, butit got the PM some head-lines and photos withTo-ronto Mayor JohnTory andFinance Minister Joe Oliver,who just happens to be anMP in theToronto area.

Meanwhile, the NDP’sThomas Mulcair is baskingin the sunshine that comeswith leading a series of na-tional opinion polls, as in-creasingly commentatorsare taking seriously the pos-sibility that he could actu-ally become the next primeminister if he can continuehis steady ways.

Something extremely un-usual is happening here. Forthe first time ever, all threeparties and their leaders arebeing taken seriously whenit comes to who has the bestshot at forming government.

The NDP has littlechance of winning a major-ity government, but it doeshave the real potential to

win the most seats comeOctober, which means itmay be able to form a mi-nority government with thesupport of the Liberals.

In B.C., things should bemore interesting than usu-al when it comes to whichseats will be won by whichparty. Frankly, most B.C.riding races lack drama onelection night. Most arewon by one particular party(generally, either the Con-servatives or the NDP) byfairly comfortable margins.

But this time thingsshould be more exciting,to the point where Easternvoters may be paying atten-tion well into the eveningas some B.C. races maygo down to the wire with anumber of ridings potential-ly changing hands.

If the Conservative votedoes indeed slip from 2011levels, and if NDP supportalso climbs a bit (a scenar-io that seems to be a realis-tic possibility) it would ap-pear that as many as 10 orso ridings may disappearfrom the Conservative campand walk over to the NDPside.That would be a near-unprecedented redrawing ofB.C.’s electoral map.

Of course the campaignstill has four more monthsto run. It’s going to be fas-cinating to watch. No mat-ter what the outcome, theresult in October will be aprofound one that may af-fect this country like fewelections before it.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Letters to the editor and opinioncolumns may be reproduced on the Burnaby NOW website, www.burnabynow.com.

Taxpayers are beingtaken advantage ofDear Editor You’ve got to be kidding me, itcost the taxpayers $142 million to run the city?

Many making more than $200,000, morethan 200 people making more that $100,000,and almost 650 making more than $75,000.No wonder our taxes keep going up (again andagain).

This is not a responsible governmentbut one that is taking care of its own at ourexpense. A couple big problems, as I see it:One, the mayor and council are responsiblefor dealing with employees and their salaries.Thus, isn’t there a major conflict of interest

when the un-ions involvedin the nego-tiations arealso majorcontributorsto the mayorand councilcampaigns?

Sec-ondly, whilepeople arecomplain-ing about

how expensive it is to buy a home in theLower Mainland, our mayor and council addapproximately $75,000 in cost to each andevery condo unit being built in our city with itsmisleading “community service fee.”

Lastly, all of the aforementioned condoshave added millions to the city’s tax basethus greasing the skids for our government tospend more and more each year.

And rather than lowering taxes, they keepspending more and more (in addition to tak-ing care of “their own”) and continue to raisetaxes.

We do not have good city government. Infact, despite what some may claim, we arebeing taking advantage of with the mayor andcouncil simply being out of control.Bill Phelps, Burnaby

Burnaby Hospitalstaff exceptionalDear Editor In April I was put in Burnaby

Hospital after a few falls and no appetite. Iended up in 4 West.

I’ve never come across such excellentnurses, who are worth every penny they arepaid for the patience they have and concernfor their patients.

Also, Burnaby needs to be proud of thewonderful doctors they have, as I hadbone marrow checked by my oncologistDr. Wendy Lam, I had scans, X-rays, biopsyand finally nuclear medicine to check if myheart was strong enough to accept chemo-therapy. I was sent home after three weeks,ended up with bronchial pneumonia. Backto Burnaby Hospital, this time in Ward 5. Inever knew Burnaby Hospital had a specialarea for seniors. Again the best of care,even down to nurses who love to sing in thehallways, and I must mention the cleaninglady in 4 West who was always so pleasantand singing while she worked. I know thereare some complaints re our hospital, butfrom my point of view, we need to be veryproud of our doctors and nurses we have atBurnaby Hospital.GladysMcManus,Burnaby

Recall campaign failsto oust Richard Lee

MikeBThe total number of people whosigned on the dotted line to removeLee from office, meanwhile, won’t bedisclosed for “strategic purposes” andto avoid tipping off the Liberal camp.Comments like this shows that theteacher running this campaign justdid it because she was anti BC Liberaland all her claims about Lee not be-ing a good MLA (even though he waselected several times) was a bunch ofhooey. The only thing missing fromthe recall legislation is for penaltiesagainst people like her who obviouslytake advantage of a loophole in recallwhen she doesn’t live in Lee’s riding,teach in Lee’s riding or live in the cityof Burnaby yet is an authority on howirresponsible Lee is as an MLA.Hopefully she uses more commonsense in her classroom than whatshe displayed publicly otherwise thequality of education takes another hit.If the Liberals wanted to they couldvery easily go after some Burnaby NDPmembers and create a vicious circlebut it would be a misuse of recall; a factthat seems to have gone over Heigh-ton’s head.

LauralHarris Eacott It is so obviousyou are a Liberal lover, you work forChristy Clark. Never did Jen lead thisrecall as a Liberal hater. It is so obviousthat Lee isn’t and hasn’t done his job.Get YOUR facts straight before yousling mud at people who are not afraidto try and make BC a better place tolive. Crawl back in to your Liberal crackMikeB.

ZiggyEckardtThis must be a first!2 Comments under an article in theBurnaby NOW and I am comfortablewith both of them! Dare I say: “somecommon sense still exists”? (Thisshould get our NDP opponents goingagain...)

AngeladThank you Jennifer Heightenfor using the democratic process tohold our politicians accountable. Itwas a very difficult task that many, likemyself, would not have had the gutsnor stamina to take on...

City staff cost $142million in 2014

RickMcGowanAll totalled, thedirect cost to taxpayers for the Mayorincreased 3.35 percent over 2013,one Councillors’ costs increased 13.6percent and another 8.8 percent. Theformer union president who made$97,587 in that capacity in 2011 hasbeen promoted twice and now earns$122,655 as Superintendent of Parks- a25.7 percent increase over four years.Not too shabby.

Bibenesque I thought Burnaby hada ‘fair wage’ policy.. what is fair aboutthis? Any how, that’s what we get for anabysmal voter turn-out rate and oneparty rule...

Burnaby’s newest campusisn’t for students – it’s anevolution of the convention-al business park.

Instead of wide spacesdotted with massive, uni-form midrises, the newEastlake Campus consistsof six buildings joined by aroad that curves past foun-tains and plazas.

“It’s a great organizingsystem to use for a site,” saidNorm Couttie, president

of the Adera DevelopmentCorporation. Adera is devel-oping the site in partnershipwith Sun Life InvestmentManagement.

“I don’t think this hasever been done in this waybefore,” he said. “(Campus)is sort of a word that getsused but in this case, we’vetaken that word to heart andtried to make it like a uni-versity campus, where the

different faculty buildingsare all linked up around apathway system.”

Eastlake Campus, with its310,000 square feet of ware-house flex space, is in the fi-nal phases of development,with the first building open-ing this summer, accordingto Couttie.

“It’s the last undevelopedsite in the Lake City busi-ness park,” he said. “It’s thefinal piece of the whole puz-zle.”

The site was a challengingone to develop, he added.

“The reason that it tookso long to get developed is,it’s got a creek on either sideand quite a steep slope,” heexplained.

The first tenant is No-vadaq, a B.C. company thatmakes imaging technologyfor surgeries, he said.

“They do high-tech medi-cal imaging,” he said, add-ing the tech company usesfluorescent dye to illuminateorgans and other body sys-tems, for use during surgery.

Novadaq, previouslybased in Richmond, beganoccupying 36,000 squarefeet of the first building as ofJune 1, according to Cout-tie.

“We’ve got that muchagain leased out in the other

buildings,” he said, addingthe contracts are being ne-gotiated. “We’re over 50 percent leased right now.”

The Lake City businessdistrict is popular with tech-

nology companies becauseof its central location and itsproximity to SkyTrain, ac-cording to Couttie.

“This is attracting a high-er office component than

you might normally see,which is why it’s sort ofturning into a tech park,”he said, adding technologycompanies need flexible fa-cilities, with lab space, pro-

duction space and officespace.“You can’t often doall that in an office building– and it’s not a warehouse,either, it’s this in-betweenspace.”

Idon’t think it’severbeendonein thisway.

New business park offers ‘in-between space’ that’s neither warehouse nor office, for companies in need of flexible facilities

The Burnaby school dis-trict won’t have to pay alltheir former superinten-dent’s salary and benefitsfor 18 months now that he’sgot a new job.

Kevin Kaardal, the dis-trict’s CEO fortwo years, steppeddown suddenly atthe end of January.

According to hissettlement agree-ment, he will useup vacation andgratuity days whilecollecting full sal-ary, benefits and a$9,151 car allow-ance until July 17,at which time hewill be formally terminat-ed “without cause” by theboard.

From then until Jan. 17,2017, he was to collect fullsalary and benefits unlesshe got a public sector job inB.C.

It looks like he has donejust that.

On June 19, the CentralOkanagan school district

announced Kaardal will re-place its outgoing superin-tendent Hugh Gloster, whoplans to retire in December.

Kaardal’s start date hasyet to be determined.

Whether the Burnabyschool district will still beon the hook for any of itsformer CEO’s salary when

he starts, dependson the pay he getsfrom his new em-ployer.

If he gets thesame or more thanhe did in Burna-by, his severancewould stop im-mediately, accord-ing to his settle-ment agreement.If he gets paid less,School District

No. 41 will top him up untilJan. 17, 2017.

The latter is more likely,since the most recent execu-tive compensation reports,for 2013/14, show Kaardal,in his first full year as CEO,making $215,702 in salaryand benefits, while Gloster,in his fifth year as superin-tendent, made $196,749.

Tourism Burnaby is pro-moting the city this summerin a different kind of way –by making people into walk-ing billboards.

The organization hasbeen selling trendyTs andtanks as part of theirT-shirtsfor a Cause program, whichkicked off June 6 at Hats OffDay.

“We had a lot of buzz be-fore we started,” said AnnaSchlagintweit, manager ofbusiness development forTourism Burnaby. “(We)had orders coming in overthe phone and by email.”

Of the 500 shirts printed,167 were sold that day, sheadded.

“People said they hadheard about it online, theirfriends had shared it.Therewere people who lived inBurnaby for a really longtime that were really excitedabout it,” she said. “We hada lot of SFU students com-ing by, and they posted onInstagram and they wouldcome back and get fourmore for their friends.”

To date, more than half of

theT-shirts have made theirway into people’s closets.

WhileTourism Burnaby’sgoal is to promote the cityas a destination, Schlagint-weit said the initiative is alsobeing used to raise fundsfor Burnaby Neighbour-hood House’s CommunityKitchen, a weekly programoffered at Edmonds Neigh-bourhood Resource Centreand Burnaby Neighbour-hood House South, where

limited-income families jointogether to prepare healthymeals to take home, and tohave lunch.

The design itself, which isset against a dark grey back-drop, is a white outline of

Burnaby’s boundaries, withwords like Edmonds, King-sway and Metrotown fillingthe space.

“There’s a few maps likethat floating around forVan-couver and B.C.We were

all sitting around one daybrainstorming and that’swhat we came up with,”Schlagintweit told theNOW.

If the campaign provesto be successful and every-

thing sells out, she addedher team will look at doingsomething similar in the fu-ture.

T-shirts come only inadult sizes, from small toXXL, and carry a mini-

mum donation of $10.Theycan be picked up atTour-ism Burnaby’s office, locat-ed at 309-4603 Kingsway,by calling 604-419-0377, orby emailing [email protected].

A recent SFU graduateis hoping to match semi-retired professionals withpart-time work through anew startup.

LaurenWatkins, alongwith co-partners JamieCrocker and Nikita Zhit-kevich, launched Excellaraon June 1.The website al-lows those currently livingout their golden years, whoperhaps want to work a few

hours every week, to con-nect with businesses lookingto hire for positions relatedto accounting, HR or law.

“If I had a problem, Iwould always ask my dad.There’s just so much knowl-edge to be shared thatyounger people don’t have,”Watkins told the NOW.“That’s also a huge op-portunity for young busi-ness people like myself, whomight not have the fundsto hire somebody with thatmuch experience, but who

could gain so much fromthat.”

Watkins and her Ontar-io colleagues met throughtheThe Next 36 program,which aims to connect andhelp some of Canada’s bestyoung entrepreneurs by of-fering mentorship and fi-nancial support.

The trio came up with theonline concept earlier thisyear after talking to morethan 200 retirees, aged 55to 69, about how they couldbest serve Canada’s seniors.

“We saw a huge mar-ket with the baby boom-er population and foundthat many are bored andstill have the energy and de-sire to work part-time,” sheadded.

“Those are areas whereexperience matters themost. In areas such as mar-keting, companies wouldprobably prefer somebodywho’s younger.”

The initiative hits close tohome forWatkins because

her father, Jim, a “workahol-ic” who used to own a jani-torial company for 35 years,struggled with his own re-tirement. “He couldn’t waitbecause he never travelled,

never had a vacation, be-cause he was glued to hisphone. As soon as it hap-pened, he didn’t really knowwhat to do with himself. Hejust played video games allday; it drove my mom crazy.

He kind of got depressed,really bored and felt almosta loss of identity,” she ex-plained.

Since its launch earlierthis month, Excellara has at-tracted 14 potential employ-

ees and three businesses sofar.Watkins’ goal is to have600 retired professionals, 97jobs and 32 matches by theend of August.

Excellara started with ini-tial seed funding of $5,000

from the investment grouptied toThe Next 36 pro-gram, with another $5,000received this month.

“We are running on a verylean model, and so far, havebeen able to keep our costs

low,” saidWatkins, addingthe group plans to apply forsmall business and govern-ment grants in the future.

Looking to show off yourmotorcycle riding skills, orperhaps you’re in need ofa refresher?The BurnabyRCMP is inviting residentsto its first-ever motorcyclesafety skills challenge laterthis month.

The event, a first for thelocal RCMP detachment,will have riders traverse a re-certification course to testtheir riding skills.

Mounties will be on handthroughout the course toguide riders and answer anysafety questions they mighthave.

“It is our hope that riderswill gain new skills and be-come more confident aftertaking the course,” noted apress release from the Burn-aby RCMP.

The main focus of theevent is to share up-to-datesafety information with rid-ers, especially about ridingat dawn or dusk, as well asinformation on new motor-cycle laws.

There will also be infor-mation on learner and newmotorcycle licences.

In addition to the recerti-fication course, RCMP of-ficers with the motorcycleunit will be on hand to in-spect motorcycles for any

defects. Representativeswith the Association of In-jured Motorcyclists, B.C.Ambulance Service andICBC will also be at theevent handing out informa-tion.

The course is based onthe RCMP motorcycletraining officers are requiredto complete, which Burna-by RCMP Chief Supt. DaveCritchley, an avid motor-cyclist himself, hopes willdraw participants to theevent.

“By sharing our exper-tise, we are offering motor-cycle riders an opportunityto be as safe on the road asa trained RCMP motorcy-

Jr. Lakersjolt T-Menfor thirdBurnaby takes over game withfive-goal third [email protected]

The Burnaby juniorsmade their fathers proudwith a character third winof the season on Sunday,June 21.

The last-place junior ALakers looked anything buta pushover on Father’s Day,vanquishing the visiting Na-naimoTimbermen 14-8 atthe Bill Copeland SportsCentre.

Danny Spagnuolo, rook-ie Mitch McDole andteam scoring leader Aid-an Milburn led the charge,while goalie Graham Hu-sick stopped 36 shots in theBurnaby cage for his secondwin of the year.

“It’s coming from our de-fence, it’s the nastiest I’veseen them. I love it,” saidHusick, who was picked upfrom NewWestminster forSteven Mayervich at theend of May. “Our coachtells us we are a band ofbrothers.We don’t give upanything easy.”

Burnaby entered the thirdperiod with a slim two-goallead after Nanaimo closedthe deficit with three goalsin the final three minutes ofthe middle frame.

But the Lakers showeda stature that was in shortsupply this season, re-estab-lishing their dominance tostart the third on Spagnuo-lo’s fourth goal of the gamein the opening minute ofthe period.

Minutes later, McDole

followed with his fourthcounter of the contest.

Captain CoreyWong thensparked a three-goal minirun to put the Lakers in fullcontrol.

Milburn, who had agame-high six-point night,put the game away withback-to-back counters twominutes apart.

“It’s the best we’ve movedthe ball this year,” said Lak-ers head coach Brad Parker.

A key was the offenceholding up their end of thefloor to give the back endtime to catch its breath.

Spagnuolo opened thescoring and put Burnabyahead 5-1 with his secondof the game shorthanded.

After Nanaimo creptto within a goal midwaythrough the second period,it was Spagnuolo again whogot things going with hishat-trick marker.

McDole, with a pair toearn his hat trick, and RyanVogrig also scored in athree-minute span to bumpthe lead to a five-goal mar-gin.

“It was a team win,” add-ed Parker, “they didn’tsqueak it.They took it over.”

With five games left onthe schedule, Burnaby willhave to pull off a few moresurprises to match last sea-son’s five-win output.

Burnaby met NewWest-minster at Queen’s Park onTuesday (after NOW dead-lines).The Lakers also hostVictoria at the Copelandcentre on Sunday at 5 p.m.

Bruna and Tony Valentini have celebrated every milestone - christenings, birthdays,anniversaries and more - at Little Billy’s Steakhouse ever since it opened its doors fourdecades ago.

“My hair salon used to be next door to the restaurant so I started going for lunch,” saysBruna.“ Today, Tony and I, our children and grandchildren go because the food is alwaysdelicious, it’s homemade and the service is friendly… we’ve become good friends withHarry (owner/chef Harry Paskalidis).”

In October, Harry and his staff will celebrate 40 years of serving the best of Mediterraneancuisine - the freshest bounty from the sea, the best cuts of meat and traditional Greekdishes from Northern Greece - at his upscale casual North Burnaby restaurant.

As one of the longest running restaurants in the city, Little Billy’s Steakhouse is at once anintimate dining rendezvous for two and ideal for a gathering of friends, business associatesor family. There’s an air of elegance in Harry’s modern-style steakhouse - with the crispwhite linen, beautiful leather seats and the rich, warm wood paneling.
