Clockwise from top left: BCIT was celebrating its 50th anniversary with an open house and displays honouring each decade of the school’s history. What better way to celebrate the ’80s than with a good old fashion arcade video game. Visually, people playing video games ranks right up there with people sitting at computers, but this young man was totally absorbed in the classic PacMan; The handwritten note promised a tale of a championship gunslinger in our very midst—how could I NOT want to do that story? Nobody was harmed in the execution of this photo; We’re unable to staff every event, so sometimes you try to get shots ahead of time to remind readers of the upcoming event. The annual Rhododendron Festival in Deer Lake Park is all about the colourful blossoms that are a harbinger of spring; The irony of emergency drills like this one at BCIT is that media get access we’d never get close to enjoying were it an actual disaster, such as getting into a “collapsed” classroom to get a shot of a “victim” being extricated. If this was a real scenario, we’d probably be coralled at a media briefing area somewhere near Metrotown; Humans aren’t the only athletes who give it their all on the playing field. Agility dogs can be fun to watch and photograph.

Let’s face it, Derek Corrigan will never be on the cover of GQ magazine. But this is his second electionnight appearance in my yearly photo reviews. I spied this young man getting his cellphone ready as I backpedaled in front of the mayor upon his arrival at his victory party. I had a feeling I knew what was about to happen, so reframed to be ready for it. He didn’t let me down.
It will always be about being there

My byline has appeared under photos in this newspaper for all but two of those years. When I came out of journalism school 30 years ago, I was determined to tell stories with a camera. I’d gone into journalism school four years earlier because my high school teachers said I could write and working for a newspaper seemed a pretty good way to get paid regularly to write. But during the course of my education I decided I wanted to make the camera my storytelling tool of choice. Photographers seemed like the cool guys in the newsroom,
with their expensive cameras and lenses, the mysterious darkroom where they disappeared at the end of every shift, then reappeared hours later with stacks of fantastic images as if by magic. Photographers can’t sit in the office and reconstruct events by making phone calls. They have to be there. Photographers don’t get to hang out in the warmth of press boxes or work rooms. They have to be on the sidelines, lens pressed to the glass at the hockey arena, down in front at the political event. Of course that also means photographers have to endure the rain and cold, have to jostle for space with other photographers and TV camera operators, have to

But at the end of those sometimes harrowing days, you feel like you’ve been a part of the news; you’ve lived it in a small way, rather than just observed it. And hopefully the photos you took convey part of that experience to readers. In the NewsLeader’s formative years, when it was called simply the News, its photos were produced out of a darkroom at our sister paper serving
Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. That’s where the photographers for a few papers picked up their assignments at the beginning of the day and went to process film and make prints towards the end of our shift. Needless to say traffic wasn’t as bad back then, getting from Boundary Road to the Mary Hill Bypass wasn’t the half day-long excursion it can be now. When the photographers from the various papers converged at the end of the day, we chewed over the events and people we covered, looked over each other’s negatives, pitched in if someone had a particularly voluminous load of film to process. If a big event was happening, a photographer could get pulled

from their paper to pitch in, provide back up or relief. It was a collegial, collaborative team that produced some pretty good community photojournalism and pushed each other to do even better. Of course we had complaints. We wouldn’t be journalists if we didn’t grumble cynically about stuff. A lot has changed since then. Digital technology has changed the way we work and thinned the numbers who still get to do this work. It’s changed the perception of the work we do. But one thing hasn’t changed. We still can’t take pictures from our desk, over the phone. We have to be there.

LEFT: Unlike individual figure skating competitions where the emphasis is often on jumps and athleticism, synchronized skating offers an opportunity to look for patterns and symmetry in the large groups sweeping around the ice. Shooting from a high angle helps make those patterns apparent. BELOW: Shooting big-time pro sports is seen as glamourous and fun. But those of us who earn a living with our cameras know the photographic rewards can be just as exciting at local fields every weekend. And you’re free to roam the sidelines wherever you wish.

OPINION
PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Harper’s weakness Justin Trudeau has come up with a campaign idea that may help him seal the deal with enough voters to win power in next October’s federal election. He has taken direct aim at the prime minister’s secrecy, the muzzling of cabinet ministers, MPs and bureaucrats and what he calls “message control.” Many people who otherwise have few issues with the Conservative government are not happy with the manufactured flow of information. Other than government ads which feature “the Harper government,” actual information from MPs and civil servants is often sparse. While some MPs like Langley’s Mark Warawa are quite open and accessible with citizens and local media, many more are not. Many cabinet ministers rarely hold press conferences. Harper himself is almost permanently unavailable to the media. He makes a few appearances, such as a recent year-end interview on CBC, but he never answers questions in an impromptu fashion. When he appeared at a fundraiser in Langley in the summer, he did not say one word to any media person, national, regional or local. Supporters who wished to talk to him had to stand in a lengthy lineup. Prime ministers don’t have to be your friends. But they do have to be accountable, and that includes saying something that isn’t scripted, at least once in a while. Like Bard the bowman in The Hobbit, Trudeau has taken aim at this weak spot in the dragon’s scales, and it may score enough votes for him to at least win a minority government. —Langley Times

Some of tax’s concerns dealt with Last week’s column focused on the fairness of the proposed .5 per cent tax to fund TransLink improvements, and the obstacles which Metro Vancouver mayors will have in getting a majority of those who vote to support it. The provincial government has now approved the idea, but with a few minor changes. It wants the tax to be known as the “Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax,” and to be added on to the seven per cent PST — but not necessarily to every single item subject to the PST. The province wants the question worded to include the following phrase: “A new Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax would be applied as a 0.5 per cent sales tax on the majority of goods and services that are subject to the Provincial Sales Tax and are sold or delivered in the region.” That wording will make it all but impossible to evade the half
Frank Buchholz per cent tax by buying a new car in Abbotsford, for example. The tax will be applied depending on the address of the owner, not where the car is bought. That will be the case with any item purchased which is subject to registration with the province, such as boats, motorcycles or offroad vehicles. That will ease the concerns of organizations like Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, which has taken a stance against the congestion tax due to its effect on Langley businesses. The column also drew a response from Bill Tieleman, who is heavily involved in organizing the “yes” side in the referendum. He was, of course,

the organizational genius behind the petition against the HST, which succeeded, despite heavy obstacles. It set a new benchmark for citizen engagement on tax issues in Canada. He said it is a virtual impossibility the .5 per cent tax could later be boosted to a higher level. The province is keeping it separate from the rest of the PST, for starters, and wording of specific legislation, including that setting up TransLink, will make such a move very challenging. It would require approval from the province and likely from mayors as well. He agrees with me the biggest obstacle to a “yes” vote is TransLink’s poor reputation, and I suspect the early stages of the “yes” campaign will focus on the improvements people will see for the additional taxes they pay. He noted the mayors specifically want a yearly audit of how the additional funds are being used, to ease concerns about

mismanagement. These measures will likely bring over some who are on the fence, but it seems TransLink has to demonstrate it is prepared to do things differently right away. There needs to be some significant pay cuts for senior management and the unelected board. There also needs to be a commitment to negotiate a new contract with TranLink Police that is much less generous, in respect of both extra pay on Sundays and double dipping (current TransLink Police officers drawing pensions from previous public service jobs). I agree with him most Metro Vancouver residents would like to see better transit and less congestion. Their trust in TransLink to deliver on its pledges is minimal at this stage.

Local cyclist awarded damages in road rage incident Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
An experienced Burnaby cyclist has been awarded more than $100,000 by B.C. Supreme Court for injuries suffered in a road rage incident three years ago in Richmond. Jim Davies, who was a member of Canada’s national track cycling team at the 1954 British Empire Games in Vancouver, and represented Canada at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, suffered a fractured right hip and pelvis in the 2011 incident with an irate pick-up driver. The injuries left Davies with permanent numbness and tingling in his right foot and thigh, and his right leg is now two centimetres shorter than his left. His recovery also kept Davies off his bike for months. Davies was still riding an average of 10,000 kms a year even in his late 70s. He was on one of his regular Saturday rides in Richmond with his son Gary when they encountered a large pick-up truck parked along the curb on Railway Avenue with its driver-side mirror encroaching into the marked bike lane. Gary Davies warned his father about the mirror as
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILE
Jim Davies, 80, is back on his bike after a road rage incident three years ago in Richmond left him with serious injuries to his hip and pelvis. He recently won a lawsuit against the driver of a pick-up truck that confronted him.
they approached the vehicle and commented out loud about the insensitivity of the vehicle’s owner for leaving the mirrors extended. The owner of the pick-up, Kevin Elston, was in his front yard and heard the comment. He got into his truck and pursued the cyclists. He pulled alongside the Davies’ who were travelling about 25 km/h beside each other in the sixfoot-wide bike lane. Elston rolled down his passenger window to confront the cyclists. He told them they weren’t allowed to
ride two abreast, and if they were riding single file his truck’s mirror would be easily avoidable. Jim Davies, who was travelling on the outside of the bike lane, reached out to hang onto the truck’s door so he could maintain a safe distance between himself and the vehicle. As Elston pulled away after the 10-second confrontation, Jim Davies lost his balance and tumbled into the curb. Although Richmond police were called to investigate the incident,
no charges were laid. Madam Justice Susan Griffin heard testimony from several witnesses that Davies’ manoeuvre to reach out to maintain a safe distance is commonly done by expert track cyclists who often race in very tight quarters. She also rejected the defendant’s contention the cyclists shouldn’t have been riding sideby-side, ruling the marked bike lane is not part of the roadway ordinarily used by vehicular traffic. “In a moment of temper, Mr. Elston decided to get in his truck and confront
Jim Davies who was cycling in a bike lane just an arm’s length away,” said Griffin in her judgment. “Mr. Elston’s conduct caused Jim Davies to crash his bike and suffer significant injuries.” Davies, who endured months of rehabilitation and had to have his right hip replaced in 2012, is back on his bike. He rides about 9,000 km a year now. Although, the court conceded, “this cycling is of a lesser quality and far less enjoyable than before.”

The photo’s subject, Whitey Bernard, then a young boy reaching out to his dad as he marched off to war, was the event’s special guest. It took a bit of hustle to get behind the statue to get his reaction to it as he saw the final product for the first time; Students from Cariboo Hill secondary school and Armstrong elementary have been planting little Canadian flags on the lawn of the George Derby Centre for a couple of Remembrance Days now. Capturing a quiet moment that tells that story is a matter of waiting out the charging clusters of excited kids running all over the place; As our veterans pass away, Remembrance Day becomes about imparting lessons of war on future generations.

Wednesday, December 31, 2014 NewsLeader A11
It’s been a long time since we had a functioning emergency scanner in the newsroom. So it pays to keep an ear on traffic reports on the radio. That’s how I found out about the train derailment that closed Cariboo Road in January, spilling coal into Silver Creek. And given that a derailed train isn’t going anywhere in a hurry, I had time to enjoy my lunch before heading down to the scene.
News is never predictable. That’s what makes it news. To photograph it you have to be adaptable and be able to assess a situation quickly and think on your feet. The anti-pipeline protests on Burnaby Mountain were national news for a couple of weeks. Eventually they became a bit predictable, so the challenge became to find new ways to tell the story, like finding a way to express the dreary weather (bottom right) that was a constant through the protests. News can also be quieter, like trying to tell the story of a funding shortfall that threatens a transitional housing program for seniors (middle right).

A lot of photos in the NewsLeader are self-generated. That means I scour press releases, listings of community events or just find inspiration from the weather to find situations that might make for a good photo. The cranberry bogs in the Big Bend area are right near our office, and I’ve always got my eye peeled for the beginning of their harvest, in late October or early November. This year the morning light on one Saturday was spectacular.
Above left: Over the years I’ve learned where to find the best blossom trees and when they’re blooming in case we need a spring weather shot. The tree at the end of the south duck pond in Central Park never lets me down. Above right: Stunt man demonstrations? Where and when? I love the tension and anticipation in this photo. Left: Follow the giant bouncing ball, and eventually it will end up on somebody’s head.

Protests and cameras always seem to go handin-hand. In fact, some protests are likely held specifically to attract cameras so the protestors’ grievances can reach a wider audience. This year there seemed to be no shortage of causes and concerns vying for our attention, from smart meters to gentrification to the tension on Burnaby Mountain as RCMP bided their time to enforce a court injunction against anti-pipeline protestors.
