Mike Bhangu was hit by a car at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street recently. Area residents have started a petition for a traffic light to replace the current four-way stop.

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 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.

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

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 landbased 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 worldleading spill response systems.

City hall to review intersection ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

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—pedestriancontrolled 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.”

The provincial government wants better answers from Kinder Morgan about its proposed pipeline twinning from Edmonton to its export terminal in Burnaby.

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. ~ with file from Wanda Chow

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.

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 overswing 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!

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Summer strike

LAST WEEK:

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.

Oil shipper fees a common practice 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.

Ian Anderson 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

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

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.

COMMENT

People turn to payday loans for good reason 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. Zak Horner —online comment burnabynewsleader.com

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. Frank Di Cesare Burnaby

Miracle Mile to be celebrated at Jerome Classic 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.

Burnaby man arrested in dial-a-dope operation 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

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

Lucy Wang, violin

Gordon Gerrard has established a unique place in the new generation of Canadian musicians as one of its fastest rising stars. Trained first as a pianist and subsequently as a specialist in operatic repertoire, Gordon brings a fresh perspective to the podium. His passion and his dedication to producing thrilling musical experiences have endeared him to his fellow musicians and the public alike.

17-year-old violinist Lucy Wang began her violin studies at the age of three. For the past several years, she has studied with Gerald Stanick and Carla Birston in Vancouver. Lucy completed her Associate of the Royal Conservatory, Toronto (A.R.C.T.) examination in June 2011 and was awarded the British Columbia Music Teachers’ Association scholarship for the highest score. In November 2013, she participated in the prestigious OSM Standard Life Music Competition and was awarded the prize for the best performance of a Canadian piece.

A passionate and gifted educator, Gordon has been engaged as a conductor and lecturer by many institutions, including McGill University, the University of Manitoba and Iowa State University. In 2012, Gordon conducted a production of Don Giovanni for Opera McGill. He has served as conductor for Opera Nuova (Edmonton) for the past ten years, and on the music staffs of the Opera as Theatre Programme at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute (Montreal), Halifax Summer Opera Workshop and the Undergraduate Opera Studio at the Manhattan School of Music.

Currently, Lucy is concertmaster of the Semiahmoo Strings Youth Orchestra, an elite group of advanced string players. This fall, she will be attending the Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles to study with renowned violinist Martin Beaver.

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.
