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.

This year the NewsLeader celebrated its 25th anniversary.

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

dodge careening football players.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.

It will always be about being there

Let’s face it, Derek Corrigan will never be on the cover of GQ magazine. But this is his second election-night 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.

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

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 off-road 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.

Frank Buchholz is editor of the Langley Times

Some of tax’s concerns dealt with

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.

Not all business groups back new transit taxChamber claims solid support but other groups concernedJeff NagelBlack Press

The president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce insists only a minority of businesses in Metro Vancouver object to a proposed new 0.5 per cent sales tax for transit and transportation.

John Winter says fears of business flowing out of the region because of the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax have been voiced mainly in Langley, where shoppers may be tempted to go east to Abbotsford to avoid the new tax.

“They’re the ones who feel they will bear the brunt,” he said, but insisted there is broad support for the Yes side in the spring referendum among business leaders elsewhere in Metro Vancouver.

“The business community is solidly behind this,” Winter said, adding concerns about extra bureaucracy and costs to separately report a new sales tax are overstated.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a huge problem,” Winter said.

New car dealers in particular fear lost business but Winter said 0.5 per cent works out to just $200 on a $40,000 car.

“I’ve never met a car dealer who wasn’t prepared to wheel and deal,” he said, predicting dealerships in places like Langley and Maple Ridge won’t sit back and let customers take their business east to the Fraser Valley over a relatively small amount.

But Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of B.C. said he wants clarity from the province on whether or not dealers will have to absorb the tax hike before his organization takes a stand on the plebiscite.

“This tax could be a pretty

big chunk per year for these guys if they have to swallow it to stay competitive,” Qualey said.

He said that could force auto dealers to cut costs in areas such as charitable giving within the community.

Even if the province charges the new 0.5 per cent tax on vehicles bought outside the region but ultimately registered within Metro Vancouver,

Qualey said that may still leave questions of how it will be enforced.

If the new tax applies to car dealers, Qualey wants it also added to the sales tax charged on private car transactions.

Richard Truscott, B.C. director for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, predicts a significant degree of opposition from his small business members.

“I would expect there to be a fair amount to cynicism and doubt as to whether an extra half point on the PST is the right way to fund transportation improvements,” he said.

Truscott said the CFIB wants greater accountability for the billions of dollars already being spent on transit and infrastructure in the region.

“To turn around and ask taxpayers to fork over even more dough leaves a lot of business owners scratching their heads.”

He said the CFIB is surveying its members on the new tax and expects to take a position in January, provided there’s enough of a majority for or against.

Greg Wilson, government affairs director for B.C. for the Retail Council of Canada, said there is concern among retailers about the extra costs and reporting requirements that will come with a new separate tax.

That means yet more reprogramming of point-of-sale terminals and computer systems

after the creation and then repeal of the HST.

“It also tends, along with everything else, to drive more traffic to the U.S.,” Wilson said. “Our members along the border are acutely aware of that.”

But Wilson said he is also hearing strong support for the new tax from many retailers because of the transit and transportation improvements it would bring.

Yes campaign unites ‘strange bedfellows’

John Winter is a key member of the Yes campaign and it’s not his first time promoting a contentious tax. The president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce fought to keep the harmonized sales tax but saw it go down to referendum defeat in 2011 with 55 per cent of voters opposed, forcing the province to reinstate the provincial sales tax.

This time both Winter and anti-HST strategist Bill Tieleman are on the Yes side urging Metro residents to agree to the new tax for transit road and bridge upgrades.

“It does create strange bedfellows,” Winter acknowledged, but added it underscores the broad coalition of business, labour, environmental and other groups backing the cause. He calls it a “non-partisan” common-sense issue and said he’s “very optimistic” the plebiscite will pass.

Ballots go out March 16 and must be mailed back to Elections BC by May 29.

The 0.5 per cent sales tax charged only in Metro Vancouver is to generate an extra $250 million a year, which combined with federal and provincial government contributions would fund $7.5 billion in transit, road and bridge upgrades.

“There’s no purpose in voting No,” he said. “If people do we’re going to be stuck with the gridlock we have, only worse.”

Heading the No campaign so far is Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Bateman is seeking to tie the new tax to the unpopularity of TransLink, which is not mentioned on the mail-in ballot going to referendum.

Winter insists the vote should not be a referendum on TransLink and says Bateman is circulating “unfortunate misinformation” by focusing on TransLink waste.

“From a voter’s perspective, this is a non-issue, a smokescreen,” Winter said, arguing money from the new tax will be restricted to funding the new projects in the mayors’ vision, with independent audits to ensure that happens.

“They’re going to spend this money with handcuffs on them.”

Bateman calls that “malarky” and says Winter, the mayors and other Yes campaigners are deluding themselves and voters by avoiding mention of TransLink. “The other side knows TransLink is a completely failed brand, “ he said, adding audits are no insurance. “The audits will happen after the money is spent. So congratulations, TransLink wasted more of your money and you found out after an audit.”

Bateman promises to release an alternative plan in January to expand transit without adding the new sales tax by finding savings within TransLink and municipal government spending.

Local cyclist awarded damages in road rage incidentMario [email protected]

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

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 six-foot-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 side-by-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.”

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEJim 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.

End of era as AirCare stations shut downAirCare stations will shut down for

good on New Year’s Eve and come 2015 motorists will no longer line up to pay for mandatory emissions testing.

The province’s environment ministry cited “great progress” in reducing air pollution from light duty vehicles as emissions technology improved and

noted the AirCare failure rate has fallen from 14 per cent in 2007 to less than eight per cent.

Please Have a Safe and Happy New Year’s Eve


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 hand-in-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.
