THE OIL SPILL: TEN YEARS LATER – A SPECIAL REPORT

BLACK DAY FOR BURNABY: Emergency response crews at work on Belcarra Drive following the oil pipeline rupture that sent oil spraying over the neighbourhood for about 25 minutes back on July 24, 2007.

The accident made headlines across the country and changed life for many Burnaby residents. In today’s special report, we look back on the incident and its aftermath, one decade later. PHOTOS FILES

The day oil rained down on Burnaby Ten years ago this week, an excavator ruptured a pipeline and sent crude oil shooting into the sky. In this report, we look back on that day and its aftermath Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

It was lunch hour on a gorgeous summer day, much like the ones Burnaby has been enjoying recently.

Mary Hatch was reading in her kitchen with its postcard-perfect view of Burrard Inlet, oblivious to the chaos going on behind her on Inlet Drive.

About one o’clock, a firefighter banged on her door telling her to evacuate because an oil pipeline on Inlet had been ruptured by a construction crew.

The news caught her entirely off guard.

She couldn’t wrap her head around what he was saying. Hatch had no clue there was an oil pipeline running so close to the home she’d lived in since 1976.

“When the firefighter came and told me I had to evacuate immediately and said there had been an oil spill, I had no idea what that meant,” says Hatch a decade later.

She soon found out.

Excavator hits pipeline

According to a Transportation Safety Board (TSB) report, at 12:31 p.m., on July 24, 2007, a 24-inch pipe was punctured by an excavator. A construction crew contracted by the City of Burnaby was working on Inlet Drive about 100 metres from Hatch’s home.The rupture was to a pipeline supplying crude oil from the Kinder Morgan tank farm on Burnaby Mountain to the Westridge dock on Burrard Inlet.The oil sprayed for about 25 minutes, said the report, before the flow was halted.

‘One of the hardest days’

“It was one of the hardest days of my entire career,” says Lambert Chu, Burnaby’s city manager.

At the time, Chu was the city’s chief engineer. He was just heading out to check a work site when he got a call from his office

at 12:45 p.m. informing him an oil pipeline had ruptured on Inlet Drive. Hearing “oil pipeline” and “rupture” in the same sentence was a red flag alerting him to the dire seriousness of the situation. He did have a clue. Chu immediately made a detour and was on site 10 minutes later.

“That was a scene I will never forget,” Chu says. “It was crude oil, and it was very heavy and black. It was as black as you could imagine, shooting up into the sky, at least 30 feet high spraying onto the roads and property, the landscaping and the trees all in a close vicinity.The whole road was just covered in black oil, and so were some of the fences and yards.

“That was a scene that is hard to forget.

You only see that in movies.”

Something was terribly wrong

As soon as the geyser started spewing from the punctured pipe on Inlet, Rob Hadden’s cellphone bleeped. It was a text

It notified Kinder Morgan managers, which included Hadden, who was based in Burnaby. ERL had them all scrambling with the notification that something was terribly wrong.

Although there was a lot of unknowns at that moment, Hadden realized the significance of ERL’s message right away.

A closer look/The oil spill: Ten years later

A special report/By Grant Granger

Resident: ‘I could make no sense of this’ Continued from page 1

‘It was surreal’

Hatch, a retired teacher, figured she’d grab her purse and some paperwork and go up the coffee shop until it was all over. But when she went down the stairs of her sundeck everything was covered in oil.

“I could make no sense of this,” she says. “I had no idea where it came from. It was surreal actually.”

Hatch hopped into her creamcoloured car. At least it had been cream-coloured. It was now black.

She could barely see out the windshield. She learned later it wasn’t a good idea to be driving a car during an oil spill.You weren’t even supposed to be turning on an engine for fear of sparking a fire.

But she did. She went directly to a carwash at Hastings and Fell.

They told her they couldn’t deal with it, but did clean off her windshield.

“Then, and this is how my mind worked, I decided to go to ICBC. They hadn’t heard anything about this, and they sent me away. But I reported what had happened. I didn’t know where I was supposed to go, what I was supposed to do,” says Hatch.

What she did do is go to the doggy day care where her 75-pound Labradoodle Goldie was. “I realized my dog couldn’t come back.”

She told her son Tom, who was taking summer school at Burnaby North, and daughter Gloria, who was interning downtown, to meet her there.Together they began to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Emergency response

The city sprang into action. A command post was set up on site.

The Burnaby RCMP, the fire department and the engineering department’s environment emergency group, says Chu, recognized what needed to be done putting their emergency response training to use.

“The odour of the oil was quite powerful, and it was very difficult for people to even get close to the scene,” he says.

Some of the delay in stopping the flow, the report concluded, was attributed to a mixup in Kinder Morgan’s monitoring centre.

“They closed a valve (at the dock) that should not have been closed, and they left a valve open that should have been closed which was at the tank farm terminal,” says Chu. “That took a while for them to realize the errors and the mistakes, and when they applied the correct procedures a lot of the homes were already covered with oil and it had started flowing down the streets and down the storm drains into the inlet.”

NOW AND THEN: Mary Hatch at her property today. Hatch was one of the residents whose home and property was coated in oil following the pipeline rupture. Her photos from 2007 show the restoration work following the rupture (top) and her Labradoodle, Goldie, in the shoes she had to wear to go outside into the oil-coated yard.

Command centre set up

Kinder Morgan established a command centre at the Executive Inn on North Road by late that afternoon.

“Certainly, that first night, you’re reacting to the incident as it’s occurring but then you’re developing plans for going forward,” says Hadden, who acted as project manager for the cleanup and remediation and is now director of operations for Kinder Morgan’s Western Canadian region. “We spent late into that night developing plans for the next day.

“Initially, your priorities are obviously the safety of the public, and safety of personnel – public and responding personnel. After that, certainly minimizing the impact to the environment.”

Residents evacuated

An estimated 225 residents were affected directly or indirectly and, like Hatch, were advised to leave the area. A reception area was set up at Confederation Park and accommodation arranged, if needed.

According to Kinder Morgan, 101 evacuees belonging to 42 families spent the night of July 24, 2007 somewhere other than home.

Not Toni Maurer. She has lived just below Hatch on Sierra Drive since 1955, raising a son and daughter.The widow had left with her cat, Prussel, but returned that night despite the acrid smell.

Most of the work was carried out by contractors hired by Kinder Morgan. After getting new dirt, sod and plants, a worker showed up to remove and replace her gutters. She was distressed when he started throwing the old gutters, still containing oil, on her new, clean lawn and remediated dirt.

Hatch says it took a couple of years to make sure the remediation was safe.

Maurer didn’t have her soil replaced, but crews came and mowed her lawn three times. A cleaning crew gave her a sprayer with a special solution so she could do the work herself because she and her husband had run their own janitorial and cleaning company. “It was terrible,” she says of the mess.

Her biggest worry was saving a precious grapevine on the south side. She was happy to see it grow back the next summer.What she wasn’t happy with was not having her red aluminum roof replaced when several others had their shingled roofs get a makeover.

Overall, Hatch was pleased with the way Kinder Morgan and its contractors worked to restore her property.

Her insurance company, however, was a different matter when it came to the house.

She was last seen leaving her home near the park at about 6 p.m. Tuesday.

13-year-old’s body was found in Central Park earlyWednesday Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is urging parents to have a talk with their kids about personal safety after the body of a 13-year-old girl was found in Central Park.

Marissa Shen was reported missing by her family just after 11:30 p.m.Tuesday.

Her body was located in the brush in the southeast part of the park at about 1:10 a.m.Wednesday.

While investigators say an autopsy will be needed to further substantiate whether or not her death was a homicide, Insp. Sanjaya Wijayakoon, acting officer in charge of the Burnaby detachment, is urging residents to be vigilant.

“Many details into the cause of Miss Shen’s death are currently unknown,” he said, “but we asked that families have a conversation with their kids about safety.

It’s always good to do this with your kids.We ask that

you be vigilant and be aware of your surroundings.”

Shen was last seen leaving her home near the park at 6 p.m., and the last contact made with her by phone was at 5 p.m., according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which has taken the lead in the investigation.

The final phone call revealed little about her whereabouts, according to IHIT spokesperson Cpl. Meghan Foster.

Police wouldn’t comment on what led them to Shen’s body in the park or what evidence was recovered there.

There are no suspects.

IHIT is asking anyone who may have seen Shen between 6 p.m.Tuesday and 1 a.m.Wednesday to contact police.

Investigators are also asking anyone who might have notice anything suspicious in or near the park Tuesday evening to contact police.

“Miss Shen’s death is a

tragedy, and her family has been left devastated,” Foster told media Wednesday.

“We understand there will be many questions, but until we know more and can provide further updates, we ask that the public remain vigilant.”

Anyone with information is asked to phone 1-877551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Who is city council going to blame now?

We have a dream.

And in our dream, Burnaby city council becomes a willing partner in social development, working hand in hand with the new provincial government to help tackle some of the massive issues facing our city – starting with housing and homelessness.

In our dream, Burnaby city council stops pointing the finger at senior levels of

government and starts saying, “How can we work together to make this better?”

For years and years, Burnaby city council’s – or, perhaps more specifically, Mayor Derek Corrigan’s – default position has been “Blame the Liberals.”

Anytime an uncomfortable question has been asked or an unpleasant issue has been raised, it’s been the default explanation for pret-

ty much all criticism levelled at Burnaby.

“We’d love to do more, but that’s not a city responsibility.”

“We’d love to do more, but the provincial government has to come to the table.”

“We’d love to do more, but Christy Clark is the devil and as long as the devil reigns inVictoria, the forces of good shall never prevail.”

OK, maybe we made up that last one. But you get where we’re going with this.

The point is, it’s worked very well for our mayor – who thrives on being outspoken, confrontational and take-no-prisoners in his approach to discussion – to play “opposition” to the provincial government.

As the leader of one of B.C.’s largest cities, he has been well positioned to lead

the charge against Clark and the forces of darkness.

Now, however, Corrigan is facing a far more difficult challenge.

How can he work cooperatively with Premier John Horgan – a leader whom Corrigan has long supported – and start acting like the left-leaning New Democrat he allegedly is?

How will Corrigan respond to requests for tran-

sitional housing for the homeless if his own buddy Horgan says, “Hey, great plan, let’s get working on this together”?

We’d like to think that a kinder, gentler Corrigan has been hiding under that bluster all these years and is just itching to get to work on social issues.

But we’ve gotta admit, it seems unlikely in the extreme.

MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS

Provincial election laws need work Houston, we have a consensus.Well, almost.

All three parties in the B.C. legislature now support a ban on corporate and union donations, as well as setting a cap on personal contributions.

It’s that last one that gets tricky.What’s the right cap?

Perhaps B.C.’s new government should rip a page out of Alberta’s NDP playbook. Legislate all points of agreement this fall and set a personal cap that’s painful for the parties, with an agreement that it will be revisited following a public consultation on a host of related electoral issues.

It would be a mistake to set a permanent cap right out of the gate, based solely on B.C.’s past fundraising results.The province’s Wild West political culture has left a distorted reality of donations and party spending, especially when compared to the rest of Canada.

A bit of context on party spending: in 2016, the B.C. Liberal Party spent $12.2 million on such things as advertising ($1.18 million), research and polling ($956,803) and bank charges ($164,328). Meanwhile, the B.C. NDP scraped by with $5.2 million.

And this is where Alberta’s approach comes in handy.The bill banning corporate and union donations took a two-part approach to the issue.

The second part included public consultations on a revised personal limit. Unlike B.C., Alberta already had a cap in place before Notley.

The consultation lowered it from $15,000 to $4,000.

Alberta also lowered

spending limits for elections.

B.C. might want to do the same.

There’s no shortage of other issues for a consultation to consider.

For instance, most jurisdictions set candidate and party limits by taking into account the number of registered voters in a riding and any special circumstances that might exist.

Not so in B.C.The limit for all 87 ridings was the same, $77,674.The party limit ($4.88 million) also didn’t vary, whether a party ran 10 candidates or 87.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to refer the province’s 87 riding boundaries to B.C.’s Court of Appeal for a constitutional reference either, just to ensure they’re constitutionally compliant.

When Ontario and Quebec have three times the land mass of B.C. and “protect” 18 ridings, compared to B.C.’s 17, something may be amiss.

The bar to register a new political party could also be reviewed.

In Ontario, it takes 1,000 signatures from electors, collected within a one-year period. In B.C., it takes two and the party can then start issuing tax receipts for contributions.

Some issues may seem inconsequential when it comes to election legislation, but after the count, it’s important for the public to feel confident that whichever party won, did so fair and square.

A cause worth lying down for

A South Slope resident said saving an Edmonds-area tree might be one of those causes a person would lie in front of a bulldozer for. Claire Bennett launched a campaign in the spring to save a so-called dove tree near Edmonds and Griffiths. Native to Asia, the species boasts flowers that look like doves. It had been planted on Edmonds Street by an old sea captain 60 years earlier.The tree had already been placed on the Burnaby heritage tree inventory, but its property sported a “for sale” sign. Bennett’s plan was to convince the city to expand a planned ravine park to include the property with the tree on it.

Opinionnow Burnaby First wants to end ‘government greed’ Dear Editor: It’s property tax time. For many of us, the massive increase in assessed property values means hundreds of dollars in city tax increases – about 25 per cent – over 2016. Over the last 10 years, many will have paid increases over $2,000, or 90 per cent. There’s no ‘us versus them’ – homeowners versus renters – in this, as Mayor Derek Corrigan would have it. We all pay property taxes; renters just pay them indirectly.

Is it fair for Corrigan’s one-party rule, NDP-only, corporate and union donor-funded Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) city council to take advantage of the massive increase in property assessments to grab millions of dollars from us?

The Burnaby First Coalition (BFC) unites the growing diverse opposition seeking fairness at city hall: we say this tax grab is not fair.

Especially considering the BCA billion – that’s with a B: the massive wealth that the BCA hoards. Burnaby’s ever-swelling fiscal reserves stand at nearly $1.5 billion, according to the city’s 2016 financial statement. This includes far more than any reserves required for infrastructure by provincial laws. The city’s budgeted surplus for 2016 was exceeded by $68 million.

But this is not a full transparent accounting. It does not recognize the current value of over 400 properties the city bought and holds “for resale.”

On the books this is $107.7 million.

But that is a gross misrepresentation. It is the

Shopping Made Easy At

total of the amounts paid for these properties as long ago as 1918, a century before today’s punishing property prices. There’s at least one property the city paid a mere $125 for (you read that right).

Fiscal transparency? BFC seeks it; we do not have that under the BCA. The real value of these properties held for resale is a secret, as are the addresses. The city refuses to disclose the information, though some favoured developers manage to locate and purchase these properties.

“The city is unable to disclose the specific addresses of all properties held for resale, their purchase price and date of purchase as it would be harmful to the economic interests of the city to do so,” emailed Bob Klimek, deputy director of finance.

Of course the BCA is not “unable to disclose”; it is unwilling to be transparent. And transparency would not be “harmful” except to favoured developer-donors and their buddies at city hall.

This annual excessive surplus and the massive hoard demonstrate financial mismanagement: over taxation and government greed.

What have we got to show for the expense?

Greater livability? No – especially not for the thousands of city taxpaying renters facing demoviction in Metrotown whom the BCA apparently does not want to live here at all.

BFC seeks fair taxation, transparent finances, a halt to demovictions and an end to one-party rule.

Chen noted when Horgan asked what portfolios she’d be interested in, she told him she was happy to take anything that would “use the best of her skills.”

“He wants to show British Columbians that we’re here for the people. If you look at our cabinet and our MLAs, it’s a very diverse group.There’s people from all walks of life. ...We want to make sure everyone feels included,” Chen explained.

Part of the local MLA’s job will include following through on the B.C. NDP’s promise to bring in $10-aday child care.

“I know we’re very committed to creating more child-care spaces, so the three priorities for our government is to provide relief for families ... making sure the services are better and also create good jobs, that when we’re creating childcare spaces that more employment opportunities will happen, too,” said Chen.

“I’m very proud she ran for (the) first time and got elected with a good margin, and got into cabinet,” he said. “After 15 years, finally we got a government that will stand for the peo-

Meanwhile, Anne Kang, NDP MLA for BurnabyDeer Lake and former city councillor with the Burnaby Citizens Association, was given the position of parliamentary secretary for seniors. She could not be reached for comment by press deadlines.

Newsnow Tower dwellers evacuated About 200 people were evacuated from a Burnaby apartment tower in the early hours of Wednesday morning and 50 spent the rest of the night at a local recreation centre after a burst water pipe knocked out power to the building.

Burnaby firefighters were called to Erickson Tower at 9541 Cameron St. for an alarm activation just after 1 a.m.Tuesday. “(They) found that it was actually a mass flood caused by a burst pipe,” said Chief Joe Robertson. “The flooding appeared to originate on the 11th floor and it extended all the way to the ground floor.”

Water flooded the electri-

cal vault, knocking out power, the building’s fire protection system and the elevator.

Emergency services personnel helped evacuate the 20-storey building.

Paramedics had to use chair cots to help some residents down the stairs, Robertson said.

Emergency social services personnel were on hand to open up the Cameron Recreation Centre as a reception area.

Kris Power, who lives on the 17th floor, stayed with his parents in Surrey.

He had ignored the first alarm, he said, but got out after a second one 15 minutes later.

“The fire crew actually

came to each door and told everyone that we had to get evacuated,” he said.

Chris, who lives on the 16th floor and didn’t want his last name used, headed to the rec centre with his cat because he had left his car keys in his apartment.

“Then they figured out a way to take us up floor by floor,” he said. “The emergency services people, they did a really decent job.”

He wasn’t keen on staying at the rec centre with his cat, so he headed to Tsawwassen to stay with his sister after retrieving his keys.

Residents were allowed to return to the building by 4 p.m.Wednesday.

A closer look/The oil spill: Ten years later

‘Your sense of safety, that was shattered’

Continued from page 3 “Some people in the neighbourhood, I know they had their insurance company walk away from them, and Kinder Morgan paid for them,” she says. “(The adjusters) really didn’t know what they were doing, I could tell by their conversations. It’s not their fault, they’re usually dealing with fire or flood.They’re not usually dealing with oil.”

Hatch became her own bureaucratic watchdog. For one, the teacher got an education in remediation hierarchy. She found out who looks over the companies doing the work.Then she discovered there was even another bureaucratic layer above that.

“All of this I ended up having to do myself. I was the one that had to deal with all the workers that came.You never knew when they’d come; they’d arrive just out of the blue,” she says. “I always had to be vigilant, I couldn’t just say A-OK, everything’s going to be fine. I had to do my own work in order to protect my property, my children, my dog.”

I always had to be vigilant, I couldn’t just say A-OK

She estimates it took about 30 months to get the physical property back to its original state. “But your sense of safety, that was shattered.”

Published reports say Kinder Morgan spent $15 million in remediation costs and millions more for personal property damage.

Kinder Morgan says eight residential properties were classified as being heavily oiled, 15 as moderately oiled and 21 as lightly oiled.

‘Costs were significant’

Hadden managed the cleanup for about a year before becoming the company’s manager for damage prevention and public awareness.

“Certainly, the costs were sig-

nificant, and we aren’t going to not do anything because the costs are significant,” says Hadden. “We certainly don’t expect anybody else to be out of pocket, or not end up being whole after an incident like this.We were there doing everything it took getting the neighbourhood to the way it was, or even better.We committed to that very early, and I think we followed through with that.

“Certainly, initially, we weren’t worried about blame. Incident investigations can happen later on. … Figuring out who paid, we worried about later.”

Hadden says the spill was relatively small compared to other North American incidents. But, as real estate agents say, it was all about location, location, location.

“Because of its location, it certainly had huge impacts,” he says.

“Because the oil itself got into the storm drain system and then into the inlet, it then became a marine spill.”

Blame game begins

The blame game began almost immediately and continued for years.The Transportation Safety Board’s report basically concluded it was a combination of miscommunication, false assumptions, and out-of-date maps and drawings that led to the disaster.

“TSB did a very thorough investigation, and their findings are very accurate,” says Chu. The report noted the excavator bucket struck the pipe five times with enough force to leave gouge marks. “Any of the five impacts, with two of these impacts leaking oil, could have alerted the onsite supervisors that there was a problem and that an underground structure had been struck.”

Chu, however, doesn’t fault the guy at the controls.

“I sympathize with the machine operator because it was a very large-sized excavator. It was a deep excavation, and when you’re sitting in that excavator there’s very little opportunity to see what’s underground,” says Chu. “You dig by feel, and you go by the drawings because if the drawings are showing you have a clear

PHOTOS FILES path to excavate, your job is to put your bucket down to take out the soil.You may run into boulders, you might run into big rocks, but that’s the nature of excavation.”

Chu says that, in those circumstances, the excavator operator needs to have someone standing over the trench to look where the equipment is digging to make sure it isn’t encountering something unusual.

Kinder Morgan, Surrey-based B. Cusano Contracting Inc. and R.F. Binnie Associates of Burnaby pled guilty in October 2011 to introducing waste into the environment causing pollution under the Environment Management Act. The three were ordered to pay a fine of $1,000 each and to contribute $149,000 into a B.C. environmental trust fund. Kinder Morgan was ordered to contribute $100,000 to the B.C. Common Ground Alliance to identify anyone digging near a pipeline and to fund DigSafe B.C. workshops.

“The positive thing that flowed, if there’s anything positive of this incident, is that corrective measures were put into place to remedy any deficiencies such as the record management system for the pipeline, and also the emergency procedures, inspections and future works requirements within the oil pipeline corridor,” says Chu. “They went through a mountain of information to come to their conclusions, and I think they were right on.

“It really emphasized the importance to have accurate (information) to reflect the location of the facility.”

Fundamental changes

Tough job: Crews work at cleaning up the oil in the Westridge neighbourhood after the pipeline rupture in 2017. PHOTO FILES

Kinder Morgan made some fundamental changes to its organizational structure by forming the

Pipeline Protection Group, which is focused on protection of the pipeline. It brought several company departments together to create a department that works solely on damage prevention and public awareness.

“Third-party damage to pipelines is certainly one of the biggest risks to pipeline safety and the public’s safety,” says Hadden. “It’s

Our systems are much better today than they were 10 years ago

also one of the most preventable type of incidents to pipelines. Our biggest takeaway was realizing we could do a better job in managing third parties working around our pipeline systems.

“The ask from the highest levels of our company was, ‘How

can you assure us that this type of thing will never happen again?’

So that was our challenge and we came up with this new model.

“Since then we’ve had no significant third-party incidents. Of course, it’s always continuous improvement.We certainly aren’t going to rest on our laurels. Our systems are much better today than they were 10 years ago.”

Residents moving on

Although it’s a decade later, Hatch says many residents just want to put the rupture behind them.

“A lot of people don’t want to (talk about it),” she says. “There are a few people who actually just want to forget it, they don’t want to think about it anymore, they just want it to go away.Then there’s others, like me, who are still learning more and still try to help, if we can, to raise awareness and educate. For me, I never realized the bigger picture of global Continued on page 11

A special report/By Grant Granger

ALONG THE SHORE: Wildlife coated in oil became a common sight in Burrard Inlet following the oil pipeline rupture in 2007. Wildlife cleanup involved a massive volunteer effort. PHOTO FILES

Pipeline issue revives the ghosts of 2007 Continued from page 10 warming, and that’s all been part of what I’ve learned for myself.”

Just down the back lane from her place, Hatch has a neighbour who is moving to theWest Kootenays and is representative of a different attitude. A lot of oil went down the lane’s storm drain before it got to the house he owned, so it only suffered a “salt and pepper” look to it.

“You can’t stress over those things.They’ll clean it up, they’ll fix it,” he shrugs, declining to give his full name.

Two other families contacted by the NOW who had their homes sprayed by the oil politely declined interviews. Some don’t live there anymore, but that’s not necessarily due to the spill.

On the rupture’s sixth anniversary, Hatch organized a gathering atWestridge Park. She called it a rally, which caused some uneasiness. “They were nervous to come,” says Hatch.

For the 10th anniversary, there will be a picnic this Sunday, 1 to 3 p.m., at the park.

Love for neighbourhood

Maurer, 83, loves the neighbourhood and wasn’t about to move out.

“My kids grew up here. It was the neighbourhood I knew, and we had good neighbours. At my age, you just can’t take off and leave,” says Maurer. “I didn’t think anybody would buy it either at that time.”

But the fear of property values plummeting didn’t materialize in reality.

A graph from the Real Estate Board of GreaterVancouver (REBGV) shows the area’s prices mirrored the ups and downs of the Lower Mainland housing market.

“It had a very slight impact, but it primarily followed the same market as elsewhere,” says Jill Oudil, REBGV president and a longtime Burnaby Realtor. “It recuperated from whatever slight dip there was.

“Sales will always continue.Values can slightly change in different markets in different pockets, but, overall, the entire of MetroVancouver has always somewhat followed the same path. And Burnaby is always desirable as well.”

The spectacular vistas homes in Westridge possess will always create desirability, adds Oudil.

“Views are primary. It doesn’t really matter what area you’re in, fromVancouver to Maple Ridge, I mean everywhere, views are of utmost importance to purchasers.”

Health questions

Since the rupture, Hatch has survived a breast cancer scare.

During her treatment she was told there is a higher proportion of residents in the area with cancer. But, she admits, it’s difficult to determine how much of a role, if any, the rupture played in those findings. After all,Westridge has had a cluster of refineries nearby in the past and the neighbourhood is close to a heavily used commuter route.

After the rupture, Fraser Health worked with the National Energy Board, the City of Burnaby, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and Kinder Morgan and their consultants to establish the criteria for oil removal and remediation to help protect residents.

You can never take human error entirely out of it Fraser Health concluded there was no post-remediation health hazard from the spilled oil, based on information provided by Kinder Morgan and its consultants, and does not expect any significant ongoing exposure risk, according to spokesperson Tasleem Juma.

As for the environment, a study

by Stantec commissioned by Kinder Morgan in 2012 says a long-term monitoring program that began in 2008 shows “recovery endpoints” for water, intertidal sediment, crabs, subtitle sediment and fucus (brown algae) have been met. But “there are residual levels of contamination in mussels that have not yet met the agreed upon endpoint levels.”

Debate continues

There’s no denying the rupture has had a big impact on de-

bate over Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion. Spokesperson Ali Hounsell noticed it when she first started working on the pipeline expansion project in 2012.

“It was a question and topic that was brought up quite frequently when we first started to propose the expansion, particularly when we were in Burnaby. It was still relatively fresh in people’s minds,” says Hounsell.

The concern is why, she says, Kinder Morgan is proposing to go through Burnaby Mountain instead of doubling the current route through heavily populated neighbourhoods.

“Yes, it is more of a challenge when you’ve got infrastructure going through busy residential and municipal areas, but some of the steps we have put in place, you can never take human error entirely out of it, but you can certainly put processes and protocols in place to minimize the risk as much as possible,” says Hounsell.

Keeping watch

One reason Hatch has stuck around is to help protect her community.

When Kinder Morgan announced its expansion plans a few years ago, she didn’t hesitate in learning more and joined Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion.

In her mind, the issue has

Vistas: Above, a boom was set up to contain oil in Burrard Inlet in 2007. At left, oil-covered trees, signs and light poles. The picture-perfect area is known for its sweeping views – and a local real estate expert says that makes it a desirable area to this day.

brought up the ghosts of 2007.

“It does, because that was human error. I know they are trying to make this as safe a facility as possible, but human error often plays into mistakes being made,” says Hatch. “Whether you agree with it or not, it isn’t a good thing to have in a densely populated neighbourhood.”

Chu and the City of Burnaby are strongly opposed to the proposal. He acknowledges the company has sophisticated systems that can detect the rate of oil flow anywhere along the pipeline that help to avert disaster.

“But despite state-of-the-art technology, human errors do occur. And human errors in record drawings and emergency procedures are something that you see.

Not because of the failure of the system technology per se, but it was one error, that led to another, which resulted in significant damage to the environment and to the neighbourhood,” he says.

“It was a wake-up call. Not that we weren’t worried about pipeline safety before, but it even heightened the awareness of the pipeline in the urban environment.

“We already have one pipeline that we have to accommodate.

By doubling the pipeline capacity, we also create additional risk.

Even though they claim the pipeline safety record is good, nevertheless there are risks. Even though the probability is low, the possibility is there.”

Employ mindfulness to control how you think, feel and act DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

In recent columns, I’ve explained how neuroplasticity is the natural process by which your brain learns – mastering new concepts and establishing patterns of behaviour. Repeated patterns of thought and action become entrenched in our central nervous system because neurons that fire together wire together.

This is why bad habits are difficult to break.You have to commit considerable concentration, commitment and continued practice to establish new habits.This is called self-directed neuroplasticity. It is at the heart of all positive change and personal growth.

Today, we’ll explore how mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy can harness your capacity to change how you think, feel and act.

Mindfulness is more than simply meditation upon the present moment. It is an expansion of awareness that allows you to experience life from a radically different perspective.You will recognize that everything that comes into your awareness – sensations, thoughts and feelings – are transient and ever changing.You will learn to observe them just as they are – without judgment, clinging or aversion, and you’ll appreciate that most of our suffering comes not from the events of our lives and the actions of others, but rather our reactions to them.

Mindfulness will give you the balance and perspective to step back from angry, anxious, possessive or depressive thoughts. Rather than getting caught up in the thoughts and feelings of the moment, you’ll become more reflective and less reactive.

With this mindful perspective, you can apply the

insights of cognitive behavioural therapy, recognizing that your thoughts can be helpful or unhelpful. Adaptive or helpful thoughts help

you see the positive in your situation.They reduce anxiety, depression and anger.

Maladaptive or unhelpful thoughts are the opposite; they trigger or worsen a negative emotional state. Often when we act on negative thoughts or emotions, we make our situation worse.When anxiety escalates, we avoid what we

need to do.When depression arises, we withdraw, and when anger percolates, we attack.

An example of unhelpful thinking after missing the bus is “I’m going to be late for work, my boss will be angry and my day will be a disaster.” A more helpful thought is “I will call my boss to let her know what happened, and forever more, I’ll take steps to prevent this from happening again.”

Mindfulness allows us to recognize unhelpful thoughts before they take hold.We can then challenge them with more adaptive thoughts that improve our sense of wellbeing.With mindful and deliberate practice, we can replace old patterns of thinking, feeling and acting.

The St.Thomas More athlete corralled two more coveted personal bests as well as a prized berth to next month’s Legion National Youth Track and Field championships in Winnipeg with her performance last week at the B.C. Jamboree in Coquitlam.

Of course, there were three gold medals attached, too.

“I love it, just the feeling of throwing (the hammer),” said the soon-to-be-15 year old. “I was under a lot of stress because I just started throwing (the hammer) last year, and I really wanted to hit (the Legion qualifying standard).”

Although she came up short of that mark, reaching a distance of 45.24 metres, with 47.46 required, she blew away her previous best with a toss of 42.05m.

A three-event athlete, Dadson also topped the girls 14-15 year old discus, with a toss of 34.49 – another PB by 1.76m – and the shotput.

It was in the shotput where she had already reached the Legion standard at the high school provincials last month with a distance of 13.56, while collecting another gold at the jamboree, with a throw of 13.16m.

“Shotput is my best event and my favourite,” she said. “I’ve been doing it since I was nine years old, and what pleased me the most was when it came to championships, I used to not do as well as (regular meets) due to the pressure.

“I’m doing much better with the pressure now.”

The big leap forward in the hammerthrow likely didn’t surprise her supporters, who include her mom Claudia, older brother Emmanuel – himself a gold medal winner in the boys 16-17 triple jump – and coach Donald Allemeersch of the Vancouver Thunderbirds.

“I remember last year coming into practice and the coach said ‘Why don’t we just practice the hammerthrow?’ and I was like, ‘Okay,’” recalled Dadson. “It took a long time, and I told my mom and coach I didn’t want to do any competitions, but they made me do two.

“In practice, I was hitting a lot of 15 (metre) distances and really not feeling it, and then I suddenly hit a 36m (distance) and felt, ‘That’s Continued on page 25

Smiles all around: The Canadian women’s national team’s Christine Sinclair takes time prior to a game last month in Toronto to meet and sign autographs for fans.

Sinclair steps up to lead new fight Burnaby superstar talks of speaking up and national team’s upcoming challenges Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Christine Sinclair’s comfort zone is typically measured in turf and metres. She’s expanding her domain, however, as she embraces the leadership role that comes with being one of the best women soccer players on the planet.

The longtime striker for the Canadian women’s national team, Sinclair is taking on a similar role off the field that she so easily attracts on the pitch, continuing her tradition as a difference maker.

“I don’t know if my role has necessarily changed that much,” Sinclair told the NOW in an interview Wednesday. “I think the biggest thing is in terms of being a leader on the team. I’m a quiet person and just stepping into more of a vocal leadership role I think that’s been the biggest challenge that (Canadian head coach John Herdman) has given me, to continue to develop as a leader with the team.”

It’s not that she hasn’t led – as the second all-time scoring leader in international women’s soccer, the South Burnaby Metro soccer product, has been the face of Canadian soccer for more than a decade. She has been the consumate teammate, described by former teammate Karina Leblanc as “humble, but willing to do anything” for the team.

Taking a front-line role when

it comes to speaking up – both in the clubhouse and in public – is where Sinclair admits to being on a steep learning curve.

Circumstances and important causes have spurred her to cross that threshhold, well beyond her normal comfort zone.

One of those initiatives is to help the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada raise awareness and funds to combat a disease that has impacted the 33-year-old.

“With my mom living with MS, it’s been something I’ve dealt with my entire life,” said Sinclair. “I’ve just finally, where I am as a person

now, I know I’ve inspired kids and hopefully inspired them to chase their dreams.

“That’s made a difference, but I feel this is an opportunity to make a real difference, hopefully in the lives of thousands of Canadians living with MS.” She’ll be making appearances next month at a few A & W Restaurants to promote their Burgers to Beat MS campaign.

On the pitch, Sinclair has been the constant centre of attention since debuting at the age of 16 with the national team.That role hasn’t changed much, despite a

recent rash of teammate retirements and the infusion of young talent.

Canada, which manhandled Costa Rica 6-0 last month in Toronto, is gearing up for the 2019 FIFA World Cup in France.

“We wanted it to be a statement game in the sense that Costa Rica is one of our biggest competition for World Cup qualifying, and that will be in a year or so,” she said of last month’s win. “We wanted to perform well, put on a show for our fans, score some goals for our fans but at the same time send a message to (their CONCACAF rivals) that we mean business.”

She’s in the midst of the pro season with the Portland Thorns, where she is currently tied for third in league scoring. And she has a game against the U.S. at B.C. Place in November circled on her calendar.

Although still eager to surround herself and to share the spotlight with her teammates, the Burnaby native is still finding the spotlight off the turf as “new territory.”

The prospect of receiving an impending Order of Canada award is a case in point.

“I spend my time kicking a soccer ball around the field, and to be recognised in this way by your country is just something you never expect.

“It’s just the hugest, like, individual honour I’ve ever received.

I’m just speechless.”

good.’”

While she has qualified for the Legion championships in shotput, the golds in both discus and hammer means she could receive invitations to compete in both of those events during the Aug. 11 to 13 competition, too.

“That was a big goal for me, because its a competition for 15-to-17 year olds. I wasn’t really expecting it but I was aiming for it.”

With all the breakthroughs this season, Dadson did it despite changing clubs – following Allemeersch from Ocean Athletics – and being forced to train part of the year on her own after the family car broke down.

Her coach prepared a training regimen for her to follow, and the teen stuck to it, with the results now on the board.

As for her brother’s gold, which saw him clear a distance of 13.29m, Dadson said it was probably her favourite result of the week.

“He did great. I’m so proud of him,” she said. “We both started (track and field) at the same time so we have that competitiveness. ... He always jokes that he jumps farther than I throw.”
