A young Burnaby man has pleaded guilty to three charges in connection with a horrific crash that killed a 16-year-old girl in Belcarra more than four years ago. On the evening of Sept. 2, 2010, Christopher Baires was driving with Melissa Tomac and two other friends after a day at White Pine Beach in Belcarra Regional Park. Baires tried to overtake another car on a blind corner of Bedwell Bay Road when he lost control, crashing into a tree. All four occupants were taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, where Tomac, a Burnaby teen, died four hours later of her injuries. On Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Baires pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. He was originally charged with nine offences, including impaired and dangerous driving. Baires’ next court appearance will be March 31, 2015 for a sentencing hearing.

Students prepare 80 hampers for students’ families in need Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
At Byrne Creek secondary, students are not just putting together Christmas hampers for needy families in the community, they’re helping their own. This is the 10th year the South Burnaby school will be donating to local families and at 80 hampers, it’s the most they’ve ever done. The students’ families include many refugees, new immigrants and single parents who could all use some help over the holidays, said Laida Falsetto, teacher advisor for the school’s student government, which is organizing the hamper campaign. The closure of Byrne Creek for two weeks over the Christmas break makes it that much more difficult for families since students must go without breakfast and lunch programs they’d normally get at school, Falsetto added. The identities of the families being helped is kept strictly confidential, with students only knowing their needs, including Halal foods for people of Muslim faith, which they try to meet. The hampers were to be delivered this week by teachers, community partners and volunteers. “It’s good to see students being helped at Byrne Creek because it could be the person sitting next to you in class,” said Sonya Sran, 16, vice-president of the school’s student government. “It really shows how united we stand as a school,” said Sran, a Grade 11 student. Falsetto said the school of about 1,000 students is pretty

Byrne Creek secondary student council vice-president Sonya Sran and president Alyana Angeles were among several students packing Christmas hampers Tuesday. The South Burnaby school raised more than $4,000 through community donations and student fundraising to produce 80 hampers for Byrne Creek families in need.
tight-knit. “Everyone struggles in all different ways and the struggles kind of unite us.” Matteo Ferraresso, 16, the student government’s treasurer, said the students raised over $4,000 for the hampers from community donors, including the Tzu Chi Foundation and Vancity, and fundraising. Teachers provided some incentives for the fundraising, noted Sran. After raising $1,000 three teachers will put on pants without any hands. At the $1,500 mark vice-principal Anita Sortome will dye her hair in a Christmas color, either red
or green. And at the $2,000 mark, vice-principal Fonda Papathanasiou agreed to wax both his legs. Sran added that all three fundraising thresholds were met, and there will be additional opportunities to raise money as students will pay an as-yetundetermined amount for the rare chance to rip off a waxing strip on Papathanasiou’s big day, sometime in January. Principal David Starr said Byrne Creek is unique as the only secondary-level community school in Burnaby school district, which has had to pick up the slack when social service agencies
have cut back on their services. “As we evolve along our path as a secondary community school we’re rapidly discovering that our greatest source of strength are our students themselves who take on a tremendous number of causes and events to give back to their community,” Starr said. “This is not an us giving to them sort of thing. It’s a community supporting and empowering itself.” And while teenagers often “get a lot of bad press,” he said, “I can tell you with no ifs, ands or buts the students we are privileged to work with here are leaders who can put adults to shame.”
Burnaby board elects new chair The Burnaby school board has a new chair following its inaugural meeting held at Burnaby Central secondary recently. Longtime trustee Ron Burton was nominated and acclaimed as chair, as was second-term trustee Harman Pandher as vice-chair. Burton is entering his 10th term as trustee having first been elected in 1987 when the district included 45 schools enrolling 17,000 students. Today, it’s home to 49 schools and 24,000 students and more than 70 different languages spoken at home, according to a district press release. “Every learner is unique. We are proud of the work we have done to support programs that best meet the needs of each learner, while being fiscally responsible,” Burton said in his inaugural speech. “We look forward to continuing to work with our staff, partners and community so that each learner has the opportunity to reach their full potential.” The board elected pastchair Baljinder Narang as the district’s representative to the provincial council of the BC School Trustees’ Association, while trustee Meiling Chia was elected as the alternate rep. All the incumbents were re-elected in last month’s civic election, including Larry Hayes and Gary Wong, which saw the Burnaby Citizens Association sweep all seats on city council and school board for the third-straight election. The lone exception was James Wang, who was elected to Burnaby council. His vacant spot on school board was filled by former Burnaby parks commissioner Katrina Chen.

City ‘not playing Don Quixote and tilting at windmills’ ⫸
continued from front page
Corrigan believes the courts are trying to avoid dealing with a controversial situation. At the provincial appeal court, Burnaby had wanted to appeal a BC Supreme Court judge’s decision not to grant an interim injunction, to prevent Kinder Morgan from working on the mountain. The company has applied to almost triple capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby to allow for increased exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets. Its study work was to determine the feasibility of routing the new pipeline through Burnaby Mountain to its Westridge marine terminal. Despite highly publicized protests through late November, the company completed its work. Corrigan said he expects the courts to argue that the city’s request is now a moot point since the work is finished. But this is a long-term play for Burnaby. “We’re looking for a declaration of what our relevant rights are … If there’s future activities, whether or not we can come back to the court and get an injunction.”

Corrigan, a lawyer himself, said the case is not, as some would suggest, a “slam dunk that the federal government can do whatever it wants.” He noted that an omnibus financial bill introduced in Parliament, if passed, will give federal agencies such as the NEB even more power and control. And while the NEB, a board appointed by the federal government, believes its statute gives it the powers of the federal government to override municipal bylaws, Burnaby argues that’s not so. “Shouldn’t the federal government have to come in and actively do something if they’re going to exert authority, and that causes a debate not just in the NEB but in the House of Commons?” Corrigan said. But contrary to what some critics might say, Burnaby is not playing Don Quixote and tilting at windmills, he said. Burnaby’s case has wideranging implications affecting all municipalities, he stressed. They include whether or not Port Metro Vancouver can ignore Metro Vancouver’s air quality bylaws, and whether CP Rail can park its rail cars in the Arbutus corridor against the wishes of Vancouver city hall.

“We’ve got a 19th century constitution trying to deal with 21st century problems. You’ve got a constitution designed to enable the federal government to bind the continent together now being used to trample on the rights of local governments.” He said he expects the city’s case will end up in the Supreme Court of Canada and even then likely won’t completely settle the issue. “It doesn’t matter where you are these issues are coming up much more frequently just because the [federal] agencies are feeling empowered by the federal government to throw their weight around,” Corrigan said. “They believe they’ve got Ottawa in the palm of their hands—the oil companies, the rail companies, the port corporation—they all figure they’ve got things going their way in Ottawa. And now’s the time for them to assert whatever they want in order to try and push the envelope. Where formerly they might have worked much more cooperatively, they’re now meeting up with cities who aren’t prepared to accept their edict and accommodate them.” twitter.com/WandaChow
Police seek witnesses to crashes Burnaby RCMP are seeking witnesses to two motor vehicle crashes last month. On Nov. 3, at about 5:30 p.m. a cyclist and a vehicle collided on Patterson Avenue and Castlewood Crescent (File No. 51071). The cyclist was injured and taken to hospital. Another cyclist helped at the scene before paramedics arrived and may have witnessed the incident, say Burnaby RCMP. Investigators want to speak to that cyclist or anyone else who may have seen the crash. Then on Nov. 16, at about 2:45 p.m., two vehicles collided at Imperial Street and Sperling Avenue (File No. 53110). One of the vehicles involved fled the scene. A number of witnesses also left the scene before police arrived. Burnaby RCMP want to speak to those people or anyone else who has information about the incident. Anyone who witnessed the accidents is asked to call Const. Riley Dorais at 604-294-7922 and note the file numbers.
Toy run honours ‘Const. Blundell’ Charitable work of a pint-sized honourary RCMP constable is carrying on in his memory. Keian Blundell was five years old when he made his first donation of toys to B.C. Children’s Hospital in 2012. He had spent much time at the hospital during his illness but that year he got to go home for Christmas. Feeling badly for the sick kids left behind at the hospital, he organized a toy run, delivering 16 toys to the hospital’s oncology ward that year. In 2013, Blundell was made an honourary member of the RCMP’s Troop 15 and presented with a custom-made red serge. “He was a brilliant soul, full of compassion and sadly Honorary Constable Keian Blundell lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 1, 2014,” said a Burnaby RCMP press release. “In honour of his memory and generosity, this year Burnaby RCMP Const. Sam Bowen with help from Burnaby City employee Terri Wilson, collected toys to honour Keian’s legacy.” Staff at the Burnaby RCMP detachment collected and donated more than 340 toys for Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive as well as raised $700 which will be used to buy toys for sick kids.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Terry Smith caught this shot of New Westminster’s three bridges — the 1904 rail bridge, the 1937 Pattullo Bridge and the 1990 SkyBridge.
Cell phone searching The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled, in a split vote, that police don’t need a search warrant to look at the contents of an arrest suspect’s cell phone. Officers have to meet several conditions first, including taking detailed notes on how they searched and what they found. This is a major issue of privacy. Historically, police have had the right, during an arrest, to search a person’s purse or carry bag for evidence related to a suspected crime, or for weapons. A cell phone could be a weapon, as seen with the Boston Marathon bombings. And one could contain information compromising public safety, or be used to evade law enforcement. But should cell phones, or any mobile digital device be an exception to those historical rules? According to the Supreme Court decision, prompt access to a cell phone could help locate an accomplice to a crime or preserve evidence that would be otherwise lost. Only recent e-mails, texts, photos and the call log will be available, according to the majority judges. The minority, however, felt that cell phones are different than carry bags and should be treated differently. They are computers, and search warrants are required to check those in homes. Cell phones contain vast amounts of personal information, which is why they have password access. Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides everyone in Canada with protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is correct in this case, that because the capacity to discover private information on a cell phone is so much greater than if being frisked, a warrantless search is unreasonable. —Maple Ridge News/Black Press

Thankless tasks in age of entitlement I’d like to think my mother raised me right (and I’m sure she’d like to think so, too). I use my manners, hold the door open for others, chew with my mouth closed… and so on. But a recent, brief conversation between a few Vancouver radio personalities got me thinking. One told her co-hosts about her experience picking up something that a stranger in line in front of her had dropped. The stranger, she said, simply took the rescued item back and carried on with her business – no nod, no smile and not a word to indicate the effort was even remotely appreciated. Bothered by the indifference, when the host got to the front of the line she mentioned the incident to the store clerk – who asked if she had done the deed to be thanked. It’s an interesting question: Do people do good deeds just to be thanked? A better question, I think, is: Why would anyone not say thank you for a good deed done? It’s not a difficult thing to
Tracy Holmes do, and it can just as instantly brighten the giver’s day as much as the deed did the recipient’s. Or have we simply come to take the goodwill of others for granted? Perhaps the recipient cited by the DJ was simply having a tough day; at the end of her rope, even. Let’s face it, few, if any, of the people we see every day – be they strangers, acquaintances, colleagues or close friends and family – are sailing through life carefree. Some are carrying seemingly insurmountable burdens, and at this expectationfilled time of year, the weight of those only increases. Perhaps the response can be traced back to the notion that people learn what they live, and

live what they learn. A child raised in an unchecked atmosphere of entitlement, for example, will most likely grow into an entitled adult; someone who believes they simply deserve things – things I’d like to think the majority of people realize come at a cost, not on a platter. Oft-quoted statistics also point to a pattern that abusive adults are commonly found to have themselves been abused as children. Is it reasonable, then, to presume that those who don’t say thank you were never thanked themselves? I can relate to the DJ’s discomfort with her good deed going unacknowledged, and I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m not saying I’m a chronic do-gooder – far from it, in fact (sorry, Mom). But I do believe that most people who do good deeds of any nature do so simply because it feels right. Letting a door close in someone’s face simply does not

feel good. And who can simply stand back and watch, or keep walking, as someone nearby scrambles to recover a stack of papers they inadvertently dropped? For many, it’s just secondnature to lend a hand, not to mention good karma. No doubt, there will always be people who, for whatever reason, neglect, forget or outright refuse to say thank you. But I’m hopeful that doesn’t deter those who do the deeds that warrant the appreciation from continuing their good-neighbour behaviour. Just because a good deed may appear to go unnoticed, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t made someone’s day a little better, whether they realize it right away or somewhere down the road. And maybe, just maybe, it will change their course the next time an opportunity to help out arises. Tracy Holmes is a reporter for the Peace Arch News

The packaging of the 2015 Murano is very good, Zack Spencer says, but offers value and comfort too. product, not just affluent baby boomers. The design is simple but looks upmarket; the Murano might be an alternative to buying a Lexus RX350, for less money, or a young family wanting something more upscale than a compact SUV, for not much more money. The dash and surrounding materials all looks first rate. The trim that looks like wood isn’t, rather a plastic that mimics wood but some might think it feels cheap but it certainly looks good. The base $29,998 (FWD) S-Trim isn’t base at all thanks to heated front seats, Bluetooth,
navigation, backup camera and satellite radio. The next model up is the $32,998 (FWD) SV and it adds a power driver’s seat, huge moon roof, a power lift gate and heated steering wheel. There is also the $38,398 (AWD) SL that includes leather seats, Bose stereo and more or the top $43,498 (AWD) platinum that amps up the goodies to include heated rear seats, cooled front seats, 20-inch wheels and a host of safety features.

carry over from the last model but the body of the new Murano is 66kg lighter. This and a modified continuously variable transmission (CVT) helps to improve fuel economy to 11.2L/100km in the city and 8.3L/100km on the highway, using the new, stricter fuel ratings for 2015. The tuning of the Murano is very relaxed, almost luxury-like. The steering is very easy to operate; some might find it too light. The pace at which the CVT works is very subdued, meaning the car wants to be in the low RPM range to help extract the best economy
Overall the packaging of the 2015 Murano is very good. The interior has plenty of room for the front and rear passengers and the seats are comfortable. The cargo area is very big and the square shape of the hatch makes loading easier. This product should be attractive to buyers of compact SUVs that want more room and V6 power for just slightly more. Shoppers of premium brands who want a refined ride and interior for less money should consider the higher trim levels. This new Murano will certainly get attention for its exterior styling, but dig deeper there is more to this product than just an attractive look, there is value and comfort that is available to a wide range of potential buyers.

easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the highway (where it should be removed). Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a broken-down vehicle. It also features a powerful lithiumion rechargeable battery. Good vision when driving is very important in cold weather. If you have to park you’re vehicle outside overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99). They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more downroad illumination than standard halogen lights. New wiper blades can also make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99.
This premium dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades. If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peace-ofmind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-year-round. The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithiumion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multifunctional. Offering 400 peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a seven-mode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock for other electronic devices. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca
