The year in photos
Far left, we Àrst met David Thwaites when he was just planning his log home, to replace the house that burned down. Just a hole in the ground then, I asked him to keep us informed when the logs started going up. Sure enough he called and the construction process made for a fascinating story. Left, when in doubt, look for the yawning kid. There’s always one, and if he yawned once, he’ll yawn again.

Looking back The year in photos
Clockwise from top left: The best photos at a parade usually happen before it starts, in the staging area. So I always try to get to parades early, because once it starts, it’s just people walking. This is especially important for a nighttime parade like the Hyack Christmas Parade of Lights when it’s easier to capture real moments while there’s still daylight; New Westminster has been waiting for the revitalization of the River Market for a long time, and the simple, yet striking, presentation of teas at the Great Wall Tea bar is an exciting example of its new energy; It’s always handy when news happens within walking distance of home, no trafÀc jam to Àght and I’m still able to grab breakfast before heading into the ofÀce; The Burnaby Horsemen’s Association has been bringing a pony for a visit to the Finnish Manor seniors home for years, but someone Ànally decided to tell us about it. We couldn’t get there fast enough.

Looking back
The year in photos Far left: A pug in a buggy; what’s not to love? Left: It started with an email from New Westminster resident Kevin Green, letting us know about his business crafting guitars; would we be interested in doing a story. Currently working in a studio in a warren of artists’ studios at a converted warehouse in East Vancouver, we strolled around a bit until we found a hidden alley that was perfect for a portrait of him with one of his Ànished instruments. Apparently the guitar he’s holding sold later that day. Below: While working on a story about Gary Lobel, a cobbler in downtown New West, he told me about his neighbour, Norm, a barber who sings and composes music between customers. I Àled the information away and Ànally got a chance to catch up with Norm six months later.

Looking back The year in photos Right: Another example of arriving early at a parade to work the staging area. This time it’s a colourful and graphic moment before the start of the annual Hyack parade. Below: Comedy generally isn’t pretty. And when the joke tellers are amateurs just learning the ways of stand up, most of them are so mortiÀed they’re just struggling to remember their jokes and pace their delivery.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
The end is nigh?
LAST WEEK:
According to Hollywood screenwriters and authors of doomsday thrillers, Dec. 21, 2012 will mark the end of the world, based on the abrupt ending of the Mayan calendar. According to the experts, Dec. 21, 2012 will mark a transition point in history, based on the Mayan long-count calendar, which, on that day, ends its 13th cycle and begins the 14th. Maybe the world will end; maybe it won’t. And, maybe the Mayans were cognizant those many years ago of politics in B.C. for 2012 and 2013 (if we get that far) will de¿nitely mark a signi¿cant transition in the political landscape in Lotusland. The next provincial election is 17 months away and already there is a seismic shift occurring that may result in a transformation every bit as signi¿cant as 1991, when the mighty Social Credit Party collapsed. The pride of W.A.C. Bennett was left in ruins, with seven MLAs, four of whom soon raced to the Àedging B.C. Reform Party. Today, the B.C. Liberal Party looks a lot like the Socreds of days gone by and, one could argue, one man — Bill Vander Zalm — was largely responsible for the demise of both. Whatever the reasons — poor policy decisions, hubris, a failure to listen to the people — the Liberals are well on their way to ceding the non-NDP vote to the upstart B.C. Conservative Party, just as two decades ago the Social Credit Party ceded that same vote to the upstart B.C. Liberal Party. These transformations are cyclical and cleansing in that the membership of the new party replacing the old party is eventually the same. Of course, like the Mayan calendar and its cycles, the political transformation in B.C. will continue, so sit back and enjoy the show.

to the grocery story. We’re always thankful when someone does lower their guard and allow us into their world. It takes courage and selÀessness to reach out, to realize by letting us tell their story they may be able to help someone in a similar circumstance, or perhaps get access to the help they need themselves. It can be a challenge to resist the temptation to take the easy route and just run a generic photo of a building, or an empty lot, or traf¿c whizzing by to illustrate a story about a contentious zoning issue or traf¿c concerns. Especially these days when newsroom resources are sparse. If you see those photos, it usually means we ran out of ideas, time or imagination. Finding faces for our stories challenges us to be better journalists and, we hope, creates a better, more interesting newspaper. • This year’s photographic retrospective of the past year has been culled from thousands of photos shot over hundreds of assignments.

Clockwise from above: Covering Canada Day is pretty simple. Finding new ways to incorporate the red maple leaf is always the challenge; Spending an hour with a monthly sports and activity camp for kids with visual impairments was an eye-opening experience. Watching them interact so easily with each other and the volunteers was fascinating for someone who makes a living with his eyes. I was especially struck by the incongruity of the storytime, as a volunteer described the images from a picture book; Mirrors usually make me nervous—I don’t want to include myself in a photo. But they’re a storytelling element here for a portrait of a barber, as long as I pay attention to the framing.

IT’S YOUR COMMUNITY – KEEP IT SAFE Introducing Inspector Michael D. Labossiere
DON’T BE “IN THE DARK” ABOUT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY Q: Why does a pedestrian need to be more attentive in late autumn and winter? A: In autumn and winter, changes in the weather and the reduced hours of daylight make being a pedestrian more dangerous. Several factors come into play. Traffic is heavier because more people choose to drive their cars in colder weather. The time change affects our ability to focus. Winter clothing tends to be dark-coloured and not easily seen during darker days. Lower temperatures and less sunlight make road conditions slippery and wet, which forces drivers to adjust their driving after several months of driving on dry roads. Q: As a winter pedestrian, what should I do to protect myself in traffic? A: Wear light-coloured or reflective clothing to make yourself more visible in the dark. You can buy reflective tape to mark your clothing with stripes or an armband, or to mark your walking stick so that they light up when headlights shine on them. Pedestrians are especially hard to see in low-light conditions (e.g., at night, at dawn, at dusk) and on rainy days. If you have no choice but to walk in such conditions, choose well-lit streets, if possible. Carry a flashlight to make you more visible and to help you see your way in the dark. Use paths and sidewalks whenever they are available. If you must walk on the road, walk facing oncoming traffic and stay as close to the side of the road as possible. Q: What else should I think about before walking during the winter months? A: Wait until snow and ice have been cleared from sidewalks and paths before venturing out. If you must walk in snowy or icy conditions, consider using a pair of ice grips, or a cane or a walking stick with a pick. Keep in mind that in icy conditions, drivers need more to stop for you. A: Always cross at a designated cross-walk and use pedestrian-activated signals when they are available. Make eye contact with drivers before you step off the curb. Allow plenty of time to cross the street, and walk – don’t run. This will allow drivers more time to see you and come to a safe stop. Avoid talking on the phone, texting, or searching for a song on your MP3 player while crossing the street. The distraction could result in your not being able to respond in an emergency situation.
Get your head out of your headphones! Distracted pedestrians and drivers are a growing safety concern. Stop texting or talking on your cellphone and tuning out with music – such activities could be hazardous to your health. You need all your senses to navigate the busy streets, so get your head out of your headphones and tune into your surroundings - it could save your life.

Now that he’s a student at the University of British Columbia, he’s still involved. Part of the volunteer work he does is acting as a liaison between the wider community and Burnaby RCMP. He finds people are willing to work with police to prevent crime, through programs such as the CrimeFree Multi-Housing Program, they just need to know how. Liu said the work meshes well with his other activities, including serving as a member of the Burnaby Horizon New Century Lions Club. “If we can bring all the people together and kind of get them to interact with each other and also get the help of resources [we can] improve community life in Burnaby. “That has been very rewarding.”

Inspector Michael D. Labossiere joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in July of 1986. His career spans over 25 years, and has taken him throughout British Columbia. He has extensive policing experience at the Municipal, Provincial and Federal level. He was also a member of the RCMP Tactical Operations Team and was deployed to areas such as Yellowknife and Quebec City to restore peace and maintain order during tense riotous situations. This is Inspector Labossiere’s second tour at Burnaby Detachment. His first was from 1992 to 1995 where he worked General Duty / Patrol and helped roll out the Community Based Policing philosophy approach in Burnaby. He returned to Burnaby in 2008 as the Administrative and Client Services Advisory NCO and was responsible for managing several major organizational and infrastructure renewal projects. Inspector Labossiere believes strongly in the community-based policing philosophy, and looks forward to working with the City of Burnaby employees, volunteers and members of the Burnaby RCMP Detachment team to continue to build on the many successful crime reduction initiatives currently under way. In his role as the Community Programs Operations Officer for Burnaby Detachment he oversees the daily operations of the Detachment’s Prolific Offender Suppression Team, School Liaison Youth Section, The Community Police Offices, and the many community programs being operated at Burnaby RCMP as well as the Victim Services Program. For a full list of the services and programs offered at Burnaby RCMP visit burnaby.rcmp.ca.

After years working in retail, Anna Santorelli knows when women are shopping to look good, they want to do it in a store that looks good and invites their visits. So when she opened her Chickadee Boutique in Burnaby Heights last March, she set out to create an environment as attractive as the stylish clothing she sells. That meant paying attention to details like the window displays, the warm hue of the white paint on the walls and keeping her storefront free of graffiti and walk tidy of litter. It’s not only good business, it’s also part of being in a familyoriented community like the Heights. She’s an active participant in the Burnaby Heights Merchants Association as well as the area’s Business Watch program, and she takes a proactive role in helping to keep her staff and the neighbourhood safe by reporting suspicious activity to the police. “It’s the neighbourhood that we cater to,” says Santorelli. “So it’s crucial to be a good neighbour.”

• Pre-program a taxi phone number into your phone. • If you have a plan before you start to drink you won’t be faced with the temptation to drink and drive. • Before you start drinking think about how you will be getting home later that night.
• Even if you are only planning on having one drink it is still a good idea to have a back up plan just in case. • Getting caught drinking and driving will take time, money and a lot of effort. It isn’t worth the risk.

So when the tower of the Centre Block was Ànally demolished at the behest of those agrieved residents, it was a cathartic moment for everyone involved. Although I still think it would have been more fun had they imploded it; Sometimes being a photographer comes with great responsibility. Bob and Virginia Rutherford were about to move from their Burnaby home where they have lovingly tended their beautiful garden for years and I wanted to capture them in a portrait that would do them and their garden justice because it will likely never be the same again.

Downtown The year in photos Clockwise from top left: Janice Stevens, of Dance With Me Studio, and Greg Magirescu, the cultural manager for the City of New Westminster, try out a few dance steps at Hyack Square, where Stevens conducted free lessons in various dance disciplines every Friday evening through the summer. Charo the chihuahua proudly struts her stuff during opening ceremonies for Pride Day on the steps of New Westminster city hall in August. Bullys music studio and rehersal space booked its 26,000 session in February. The Royal couple, Prince William and his new bride Kate, visit the Royal City. Sort of.

Looking back The year in photos Left: Sports is all about freezing peak action. So much of it is happening in this photo; the receiver’s eyes are locked on the ball just as he’s hit by an SFU defender. From here it could go either way; he makes the catch or he doesn’t. Below: The new running track at New Westminster’s Mercer Stadium may not be to everyone’s taste, but it does make for striking and colourful photographs.
Above: Sometimes this job can be hell. Like when you have avoided eating pie for nine years and you’re assigned to shoot a story about pie. Left: A tiny three-wheeled car would have me scratching my head too. So it was just a matter of time before somebody did just that at the Royal City Show and Shine.
Left, I’d Àrst photographed Gary Lobel in his cobbler shop years ago. With shoe repair shops disappearing, I thought it time to visit him again. Not much has changed in his dark little workshop, but the piles of dust and pieces of shoe leather have gotten higher.
