NEB turns down Chevron request Burnaby refinery had sought priority access to Kinder Morgan pipeline Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

The National Energy Board has turned down Chevron Canada’s application for priority access to the Trans Mountain pipeline. Chevron had applied for the priority destination designation (PDD) in response to apportionment in recent years— competition for capacity on the Kinder Morgan-owned pipeline

resulting in reduced supply for those customers without firm contracts— affecting the amount of crude oil being delivered to its North Burnaby refinery. Between January 2012 and March 2013 the apportionment was 71 per cent on average, the NEB said in its reasons for decision released July 11. The NEB said the designation “should only be applied in extraordinary circumstances,” and based on the evidence it determined Chevron’s circumstances did not warrant such a move.

Chevron’s Burnaby refinery has operated at above its minimum run rate of 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month since apportionment began again in November 2010, apart from shutdowns for planned maintenance, the NEB noted. Chevron said it has replaced part of its supply shortfall but has “been forced to incur extraordinary expense” to do so. “In the Board’s view, it is the responsibility of Chevron to design a portfolio of supply options that will best mitigate its supply risk and ensure the long-term viability of the

Burnaby Refinery. In this context, the Board believes that no option should be completely ruled out by Chevron in mitigating its supply risk for the future, including a potential waterborne option, the Secondary Market, Westridge Dock bids, and any other option that Chevron can develop to avoid PDD.” The NEB added, “the PDD provision is not intended to shield companies from their business risks or the need to make prudent investments.” Please see TRANSMOUNTAIN, A3

A $12.4-billion deal by grocery giant Loblaw to snap up Shoppers Drug Mart may further reduce retail competition in B.C. Officials with the two firms denied that will happen, but the transaction does put another big chunk of B.C.’s retail landscape under the control of a single parent company. In B.C., Loblaw operates or franchises dozens of stores under the Real Canadian Superstore, Extra Foods, T&T Supermarket and NoFrills brands, among others. Its acquisition of Shoppers, which has seven locations in Burnaby, and its smaller urban stores extends Loblaw’s footprint into more densely populated B.C. markets. Both firms say the deal will yield big benefits, including a bigger national retailing network for the more than 1,200 Shoppers outlets. Shoppers Drug Mart will keep its brand name and operate as a division of Loblaw.

Giro goes big in Heights Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

The Giro di Burnaby went big last week, offering its largest crowd of spectators races featuring muchexpanded fields of cyclists. Florenz Knauer, a 24-year-old from Germany, won the men’s race, his third podium finish at this year’s BC Superweek events, while Denise Ramsden of Yellowknife, who competed for Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympics, took the women’s race. Giro organizer Rainy Kent said the crowd, which she roughly estimated at 5,000 to 8,000, was the largest ever for the Giro and started filling the streets in the Heights just before the women’s race at 6 p.m. There was a significant jump in the numbers of cyclists participating, largely due to another BC Superweek event, the

Tour de Delta, being a UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) sanctioned race which allowed participants to earn points towards their international rankings as well as vie for prize money. While the men’s field was at 118 riders, up from about 100 last year, the women’s field about doubled from 2012 to 63 riders this year, Kent said. The business-sponsored prize money totalled about $15,000 while the primes—where cyclists who win specific laps get cash prizes— collected from the crowd totalled over $1,700. Of that, 10 per cent will go to support the Aboriginal Youth Cycling Team, which trains out of the Burnaby Velodrome, whose members were out collecting funds from the spectators. The Giro’s volunteers, most who live in the community, set a record in putting up the 8,000 feet

of fencing, hay bales, banners and stage in about 35 minutes, Kent said. Taking it all down took about 45 minutes, but due to delays with taking down the truss that holds up the start and finish banners, Hastings Street wasn’t reopened to traffic until “almost 10 p.m. on the nose,” she said, noting it will be an issue they’ll seek to address for next year. Gradually the event is seeing more area businesses taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the large crowds being drawn to the Heights, she said. Restaurants are doing well while some merchants sponsor primes to have their business mentioned over the speaker system. “Little by little, people are taking ownership for the event in Burnaby. People are embracing it and owning it … I think that’s what makes it so successful.”

Burnaby firefighters help Alberta flood victims Spent several days gutting soaked basements Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Seven Burnaby firefighters recently volunteered to lend a hand, then drove 11 hours to do so, helping flooded-out homeowners muck out basements in High River, Alberta. From July 5 to 9, firefighters Jamie Buis, Steve Leslie, Doug Petti, Rob Hourigan, Danny Ciolfitto, Mike Tennerelli and Johnny Panichelli were in the town ripping out wet basements down to the studs, allowing them to dry out before mould could set in. The volunteers were responding to a call for assistance from the International Association of Firefighters on behalf of the Calgary firefighters union. They used vacation time or time off within their four-days-on-four-days-off work schedule to make the trip, recruiting other firefighters back in Burnaby to help cover some shifts, said Rob Lamoureux, president of the Burnaby Firefighters Local 323. Burnaby Fire Department supplied an 11-passenger van and equipment, Penske loaned them a five-ton refrigeration truck, Chevron supplied $750 in gas cards, and the Marriott Hotel in Calgary gave the firefighters a discounted rate despite it being the week of the Calgary Stampede. High River has a population of about 12,000 and half the town was affected by last month’s massive flooding, said Capt. Jamie Buis.

In some houses the basements were completely filled with water, which reached up to the kitchen countertops on the main floor. In other homes, after the water receded it left behind six inches of mud from the river silt, said Buis, who added there were parts of town still under water when they left.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Playing safely

LAST WEEK:

Summer seems to be the season of senseless accidents. A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragedies seem to happen year after year. And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Traffic may be diminished, but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing, but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night. Of course more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are more accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgement. Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, ignoring a prominently-placed warning notice can come with huge consequences. Sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors. Partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful. Partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. Just remember to be careful out there.

Empty seats for political theatre VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a

quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our

education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our politicalmedia theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how postmodern political theatre is done.

EASY TO HELP Re: Love to help (Letters, NewsLeader, July 5) So Garth Evans would like to do something to help out the city of Calgary but he doesn’t have any “special skills.” I’m sure that he (should) knows how to use a shovel, rake and/or wheelbarrow. He could contribute through the Red Cross or even “take the bull by the horns” and fly there to volunteer. David Reid Burnaby

DONATING IS BEST Re: It’s easy to help (Letters, NewsLeader, July 10) Mr. Walton is right, I could go to Alberta and help people muck out their flooded basements. However, that wouldn’t make much sense. First I would have to fly or drive to Calgary and then find people who actually wanted my help. I think it makes much more sense to donate money to charities that are helping those affected. Garth Evans Burnaby

CYCLISTS PAY THEIR SHARE, AND MORE Re: Time for cyclists to pay their share (Letters, NewsLeader, July 3) As a Burnaby homeowner, resident and car owner, I feel that the Joan Downey’s comments that “cyclists are not paying their share” calls for some major fallacies to be addressed. Streets are funded, built and maintained from municipal government coffers, paid by property taxes. The largest share of fuel taxes are paid to federal and provincial governments (and into their general revenues, unfortunately), ostensibly to fund federal and provincial freeways, the use of which

pedestrians and cyclists are typically prohibited. A small share of fuel taxes are paid to TransLink to fund transit, inter-city highways and bridges. Fuel taxes do not flow to municipalities. However, the municipalities bear the heavy burden of construction and maintenance of streets (with extensive substrata to accommodate multi-ton vehicles), design and engineering, multiple painted lanes, sewers, night lighting, traffic controls, traffic signs and repaving—almost exclusively for automobile use without paying any fees. Cyclists and pedestrians place very little wear and tear on streets because they do not weigh thousands of pounds each, do not travel at great speeds and in essence require very little infrastructure because even a multi-use path will suffice. As a result, it is actually local residential taxpayers who are primarily or exclusively pedestrians and cyclists who are subsidizing us, the automobile drivers, and wholly paying the tab for drivers from other municipalities and far-flung suburbs.

Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (BC Views, NewsLeader, July 10) It was with sadness and dismay that I read Tom Fletcher’s column. Once again the B.C. lower and middle class will be subjected to governmentimposed price increases totally out of line with any offsetting changes to income—which has remained flat for decades. It saddens me that once again the average Joe will have to cut back on essentials to meet government demands for revenue. I am dismayed there isn’t more outcry and push-back from those affected. All levels of government have turned to increased fees and charges to make up for their “revenue shortfalls.” At the same time they steadily reduce personal and corporate tax levels—changes that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest. Increased fees and charges are mostly paid by the average person. This increases income and wealth disparity in B.C., something at already astronomical levels. I can only assume the average person is already working too hard and afraid of losing even more of the little we have to bother fighting any more. I appreciate governments of all stripes need revenue to pay for the services we demand from them. During Canada’s greatest period of wealth creation from the post war years to the ’70s, there was a consensus among Canadians that the costs of government were to be proportionally shared by individuals and corporations based on assets and income. Since the ’70s the wealthy have steadily increased their share of the pie, aided by governments beholden to the rich. Lower income tax rates for the highest earners, reduced corporate taxes and government policies holding income for the average worker hostage have all played a part in grinding down the average person to the benefit of a few at the top. It is time we returned to the

He estimated the Burnaby firefighters worked on about a dozen homes. While they started out working on the homes of Calgary firefighters, they soon were going wherever they were needed. Buis said he was struck by the amount of garbage everywhere. “You drive down a street and people had been let back [home] a few days before so all of their garbage from their basement, everything, appliances everywhere, couches, drywall, it’s all piled up on their front lawns. Streets full of piles, garbage. It almost looks like a hurricane went through there.” He was also impressed at the number of volunteers helping out. Those that couldn’t help with hard labour were busy making lunches for those who could. “There was one day we could’ve had lunch at six different places, everybody’s trying to give us food,” Buis said with a laugh. The refrigeration truck and barbecue they brought along was loaned to local firefighters in Calgary who used it to help

feed volunteers themselves. Lieut. Doug Petti recalled a pervasive smell of sewage and damp river silt in the air and high water marks two to three feet high on the main floors of houses. “There was a lot of people that lost everything. From what I could see, entire homes that are going to have to be torn down, possessions everywhere, toys, clothing, photo albums destroyed, computers, fridges, stoves,” said Petti. “The big thing was people’s memories were destroyed.” Petti also remarked on the sense of community. “The entire community seemed to be working together, everybody seemed to be on the same page.” It didn’t take long before people in the town started to recognize the firefighters and that they had come all the way from Burnaby, he said. “People were very, very thankful we were helping them out,” said Buis. “It’s overwhelming [for flood victims]. We were able to help at least a little bit there and get them on their way as far as

being able to recover.” Brian Herrmann emailed to Burnaby Fire Chief Doug McDonald to express his appreciation, saying he arrived in High River to help out his in-laws there. “To my surprise there was already a crew of people stripping down the basement, eight random volunteers, my four friends, and seven wonderful Burnaby firefighters.” The crew was able to finish stripping the basement down to the studs and clear out the garbage in just a few hours. “There are no words to fully describe what the firefighters did for us and the rest of the community, to drive the 11 hours to come out here to help and without their help it would’ve taken longer to clean up even with the other volunteers,” Herrmann wrote. He ended the email with this happy-face-adorned statement: “P.S. Having their presence there was lifting a lot of spirit in the area, especially some of the female volunteers. I even caught my wife checking a couple of the boys out.”

Changes to Shoppers ⫸

Moore now Industry Minister

continued from FRONT

But Shoppers will expand its product lines to add Loblaw PC brand private label and convenience food. Shoppers’ Life brands are likewise expected to show up on the shelves of other Loblaw stores. Officials promised they won’t close stores or eliminate loyalty points, adding the Shoppers Optimum and PC Plus loyalty programs will be cross-marketed

across the group. Shoppers shares were up more than 24 per cent Monday on the news, while Loblaw stock was also up 5.4 per cent. The market value of the two companies combined is up $3.1 billion from Friday’s close. The deal still must be approved by shareholders. It comes one month after a $5.8-billion deal by rival grocer Sobey’s to buy Canada Safeway stores.

Top federal minister in B.C. takes new role ahead of oil debate Jeff Nagel Black Press

The elevation of James Moore to Industry Minister is viewed as a sign Prime Minister Stephen Harper will look to his senior B.C. minister to help convince the province to accept contentious new oil pipelines. The Conservative MP for Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam rose from Heritage Minister in a federal cabinet shuffle Monday. SFU political science professor Patrick Smith said he’s not surprised Moore has been promoted,

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection. For More Information: The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

calling him one of the government’s top performers. But Smith said the move also strongly suggests Harper and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver – who stays in his post – will press the provincial government to agree to either the Kinder Morgan or Northern Gateway pipeline projects to allow a crucial Pacific outlet for Alberta oil. “They’re going to want a strong ally in the B.C. minister, which could cause him some of his own difficulties,” Smith said. “British Columbians, as a general rule, are not in favour [of oil pipelines].” He described the bigger role for Moore as one that brings more opportunities, but also more risk if Ottawa’s energy development agenda unfolds badly in B.C. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has insisted any new oil pipeline must meet five provincial conditions, including world-class land and marine safety provisions, the addressing of aboriginal issues and a share of benefits for B.C. Smith said Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline twinning is more likely to proceed than Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, because Trans Mountain is already twinned along a third of the corridor, it faces less First Nations opposition and it uses an established tanker route and an existing land right-of-way. “I would think if you’re Stephen Harper and Joe Oliver and you’re going to push it, that’s the one you’re going to push.”

What is City Fair? A planning committee that includes Burnaby residents, representatives of local non-profit agencies, community service groups, the RCMP, City of Burnaby staff, and others meets for months to pull together all the elements of this event, now in its seventh year. City Councillor Paul McDonell explains, “Originally there was an Edmonds Show n’ Shine car show, and a City Fair that was held in September. Putting these two events together made it possible to create a bigger, better family festival for Edmonds residents and visitors. And choosing the third week in July usually gives us better weather than we had in September.”

Motorcycles part of classic car show Always a popular event for families and car enthusiasts alike, the annual Edmonds City Fair and Classic

Car Show has some new twists this year. Motorcycles have been invited to register for the Classic Car and

Motorcycle Show, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 21, 2013 along Edmonds Street in Burnaby.

Have a great day at the fair

A group of dedicated show’n shine volunteers have made this a growing event year after year. Organizer Bonnie Game explains, “We invite all categories of cars — custom cars, hot rods, ‘muscle cars’, vehicles from the 50s

up to the present, and now motorcycles are also welcome. And they can register on the day of the event, or by emailing me at bonnie. game@gmail.com.” Edmonds Street is closed to all traffic at 8 a.m. on Sunday, July 21, so owners

“Canada, like Noah’s Ark is the Best Place in the World”

must follow the signs and enter the area via Linden and onto Vista. All registrants pay a $10 entry fee that is then donated by the organizers to a community program for children. This year commemorative City

Fair and Car Show t-shirts will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Remember — the cars and motorcycles are their owners’ pride and joy, so when you’re at the City Fair Car Show look but don’t touch!
