2019 iN Review

Making photos and telling the Tri-Cities’ stories Photos are windows into the many stories we tell each year mARio BARTel mbartel@tricitynews.com

Journalists spend a lot of time with words.

Choosing them. Changing them. Pounding them out on keyboards.

We select them to tell a story in a way that is accurate and fair to subjects, sources and readers.

We massage them to convey emotion or nuance.

We cut them altogether — ugh — for space.

Words are the meat and potatoes of our profession.

But photos are the soul, our windows into the communities we cover and the stories we tell.

What might take a writer several sentences or paragraphs to tell, a photo has to capture in a mere glance.

And getting to that storytelling moment isn’t just a matter of holding up the camera and saying, “OK, now it’s time to take a photo.”

A good photo isn’t “taken.”

It’s made.

It’s made by careful listening so the photo can reflect an understanding of the story.

It’s made by providing context: A photo of people playing tennis in June may not have much value but that same photo shot in January, while the rest of the country is enduring a wintry cold snap, tells a story.

For even more photos, as well as the stories behind them, check out the presentation at tricitynews.com It’s made by waiting for some sort of emotion that’s true to the story, or shooting it in a way that conveys emotion in a moment.

Good photography can seem effortless.

But into each photo goes a multitude of decisions, all of which must inform how the push of the shutter button will serve the story, whether it’s on our website or in our weekly print edition.

In the blink of your eye, it has to capture your attention while doling out nuggets of information that will hopefully incite you to stop on the page, or click on the headline, so you can learn more.

At a time when pretty much everyone can take a photo by reaching into their pocket and pulling out their smart phone, news photos have to be something more than just a record that somebody showed up and did just that.

Here, then, is our retrospective of some of the photos we made in 2019, along with a bit of information about the thought processes and technical considerations that went into them.

Top, there’s no denying luck is often an element of making a good photo, such as this seredipidous passage of a bear to tell the story of increased bear activity in Minnekhada park. STEFAN LABBÉ/THE TRI-CITY NEWS Clockwise from above left: Sometimes the best storytelling photos of a fire happen afterward, when the people affected are trying to come to grips with what has happened, such as Carola Alder helping remove paintings from her mother’s gallery the morning after a massive fire destroyed half a block of buildings in downtown Port Moody. A snow squall in January likely isn’t very newsworthy, but when thoughts are turning to spring in March, it’s time to pull on the gloves and get out there. Pro tip: snow always photographs best against a dark, distant background. Moving day can be tough, but imagine moving thousands of books without a truck.

AmANDA ToDD

Alleged Todd blackmailer sought by B.C. government made a court application for an order that would allow for Coban to be detained in a B.C. jail when he arrives in Canada, according to the Department of Justice.

Coban is accused of being Amanda Todd’s blackmailer.

Amanda took her own life on Oct. 10, 2012, after posting a video on YouTube saying she had been blackmailed by an online predator.

Process to bring Aydin Coban to Canada underway DiANe STRANDBeRG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The mother of Amanda Todd is hoping 2020 brings her daughter’s alleged internet abuser to Canada to face charges.

Carol Todd said in an email that a process that would see Dutch citizen Aydin Coban extradited is taking a long time but news that further steps have been taken to advance the process is heartening.

“We have been waiting so long for this to happen as he was initially charged back in April of 2014 and we are now heading into 2020,” Todd said in an email to The Tri-City News this week.

“Amanda’s story will continue to move forward but this is a part that needs to happen for peace of mind.”

In 2017, Coban was convicted of online abuse and for blackmailing 34 young

girls and men and sentenced to 11 years in Dutch prison.

He appealed, but the appeal was later dropped, meaning Canada could begin the extradition process to face charges of extortion, importing or distributing child pornography, possessing child pornography and child luring against Coban.

Canada is seeking Coban’s temporary surrender so that he can be tried in British Columbia while he continues to serve a Dutch prison sentence, and on Dec. 17 the BC Prosecution Services (BCPS),

KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE

Happy New Year!

Sign up for Viewpoint

Help Keep Bears Safe

A new year is a great time to reflect on our accomplishments as we move forward under the City’s new 2020 – 2023 Strategic Plan, which is built on the success achieved through the former plan since 2016.

Accomplishments include:

Have your say on what’s happening in your community! Coquitlam residents (age 16 and up) are invited to join the City’s Viewpoint online survey community where you can anonymously provide opinion on City issues, plans and services. Participants are invited to participate in an average of two surveys per month and you can choose to respond to all topics or just those that interest you – all answers are confidential. Any web-enabled computer or device can use the survey software by going to coquitlam.ca/viewpoint. Join us!

Bears are still active in Coquitlam, which is unusual this late in the season. During the winter, natural food sources are scarce and active bears will be seeking unnatural food sources. Encourage these active bears to den up for the winter by securing all attractants including your waste collection carts denying them an easy meal. Allowing wildlife to access garbage presents a risk to your home and your neighbours’ and could result in a $500 fine. Visit coquitlam.ca/bearsmart for more details on living with urban wildlife in our community.

2019 iN Review

Clockwise from above: When I get to cover people doing things in high places, I’m always fascinated by that moment they release themselves to gravity, such as this student descending from the tower at Coquitlam’s main fire hall during a junior firefighter camp. A photo to promote the annual Kids Sport sale gets extra pop from backlight. The challenge of using mirrors is staying out of your own photo, and thinking backwards. Answering the age-old question, how many people does it take to stuff a giant canoe into a gymnasium?

Clockwise from top right: A tender moment between a Port Moody hockey player, whose professional career has been derailed by cancer, and his wife. A tense moment during a bear hunt in a busy neighbourhood.

A reflective moment at the new Legion hall. And a fun moment to tell the story of new owners for a beloved local shop. Sometimes it takes a crazy idea and cooperative subjects to make that idea work. But when one of those subjects is wearing leopard print tights, odds are pretty good they’ll be happy to play along.

Protecting personal data is job 1 for companies & gov’t.

Last Week t

LifeLabs hacking and ransom are wakeup calls for all of us THe TRi-CiTY NewS newsroom@tricitynews.com

Y

ou would have to be in denial not to be worried about the recent LifeLabs hack of the personal health information of 15 million Canadians.

Both the experts commenting on the ransomware attack and the company’s CEO have done nothing to allay our concerns.

It’s bad enough that the information was not locked down to prevent an attack and it appears the information, such as names, addresses and personal health numbers,

likely ended up in the wrong hands.

We’re supposed to be comforted by statements that the information hasn’t shown up — so far — on the dark web and that identity-theft protection and insurance is available for LifeLabs customers for up to one year.

Without more details, it’s hard to know exactly what happened and how, but experts surmise the information was encrypted to deny access and, once the ransom was paid, access was again provided.

It’s worrying that ransom had to be paid because payment may only encourage more such criminal activity.

Apparently, the hack took place several weeks ago but we only learned about it recently once a plan had been

put in place and the system locked down.

No one is coming out of this breach with a clean record.

LifeLabs, of course, looks bad and has been roundly criticized by both the Ontario and B.C. information and privacy commissioners.

The commissioners are investigating the scope of the breach, circumstances leading up to it and what, if any, measures LifeLabs could have taken to prevent and contain the breach.

But while necessary, this investigation is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

What we are learning now is that the information held

by LifeLabs should have been encrypted so that even if it was hacked, it couldn’t be used.

What’s more, it appears that

with each breach of banking and other information, hackers figure out new ways to attack public bodies for private gain.

Even B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix looked relatively chagrined when he revealed how and when the cyber attack occurred and explained why the details were withheld from the public for so long.

But as many have suggested, governments need to do more to pass tougher laws to ensure the protection of private data, with costly fines to go along with them. They must also ensure their own information is protected to the highest level.

As for the company, LifeLabs must provide a strong guarantee that information is safe. It will not easily regain the public’s confidence.

‘Shocked’ at all the litter in PoCo ravines

Fix terrible intersections

The Editor, Last summer, I took a walk on the south side of Lougheed Highway, east of Westwood Street and before the Hastings cross street, and was shocked to see all the litter that had accumulated in the ravine beside the highway.

Every year, we have the same problem: garbage left to breakdown with the sludge flowing into Maple Creek.

The city is happy to fine people for polluting creeks, yet seems to let itself off the hook

for cleaning up this mess.

I put in a request to the city of Port Coquitlam for clean-up on the mayor’s new request for service. A month later, a crew came and trimmed the bushes but left the garbage — not quite the clean-up I was hoping for.

A few years ago, I did two clean-ups and turned up about 20 kg of garbage each time.

Port Coquitlam is not living up to “Beautiful B.C.” Michael Wong, Port Coquitlam

An example of a litter clean-up in Port Coquitlam. Littering is getting out of hand and the city is shirking its duties, says the letter writer. SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Editor, Re. “Highrise proposed for Coquitlam’s Maillardville” (tricitynews.com, Dec. 1).

Welcome to Coquitlam — and another highrise.

How soon will a start be made to change the traffic design and flow of the current traffic disaster at this intersection of Lougheed Highway, Brunette Avenue and Blue Mountain Street? Will the start to this new undertaking be before or after all this density?

While I am ranting, when will Coquitlam and Burnaby deal with a similar problem at the intersection of North Road and Lougheed? This traffic nightmare is already waiting for more skyscrapers.

Recovering heat from tap water next step in energy savings PoCo biz develops a wastewater energy recovery system

THE NUMBERS How much energy is wasted?

• An average person uses 60 gallons of water per day, 50% of which is heated and goes down the drain.

• Every year in residences in Canada and the U.S., $40 billion worth of recoverable thermal energy goes down the drain.

• Every year worldwide, $1 trillion worth of recoverable thermal energy goes down the drain.

DiANe STRANDBeRG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Declaring a climate emergency may be a scintillating story and a great slogan for rallies.

But the cold hard facts of dealing with climate change means people have to do things differently and that, in part, means reducing waste and handling sewage in new ways. According to Port Coquitlam’s SHARC Energy Systems, an average person uses in excess of 220 litres of water per day — although some sources put the figure at a third higher than that — 50% of which is heated and goes down the drain.

What if instead of letting that expensive heat dissipate in the sewer system, you collected it and used it to heat more hot water and to cool buildings?

One new development in Vancouver will do just that, using a wastewater heat recovery system built in Port Coquitlam.

The Piranha HC wastewater heat recovery system built

by PoCo’s SHARC Energy Systems will be used in the new Ella condo building that will be built in East Vancouver.

It will use warm water draining from kitchen sinks and bathrooms to heat more water, completely eliminating carbon, and the energy produced can also be used to cool the building.

CEO Lynn Mueller and Trevor Funk, director of operations, said a greener world of low carbon energy production can’t come soon enough.

They point to the need for builders, corporations and cities to look at cutting carbon and energy costs, and believe their Piranha heat recovery

system and larger SHARC wastewater heat exchange system will help those looking for innovations to reduce costs and greenhouse gases.

According to Mueller, the Piranha HC can reduce carbon emissions due to natural gas by approximately 500 kg of Co2 per person a year.

“We’re seeing thousands of people out at climate change rallies, the vast majority are between the ages of 25 to 40 years, they’re demanding what we do and that’s very encouraging.”

Motivating the two is a commitment to a sustainable future for their children and grandchildren, something Mueller said most people can relate to, while the need for energy efficient low carbon solutions is crucial.

He’s travelled all over the world, including the Arctic, and has seen the effects of climate change.

“Those places I used to go to are under water today.”

A recent prospectus for a public stock offering shows SHARC Energy Systems are being installed all over the world, including Scotland, the U.S. and Australia and China, as well as several buildings

and a district energy system in Vancouver.

But SHARC isn’t just focused on condos or large office buildings. The company is developing a hot water system for single family homes that uses solar power instead of natural gas to heat water, with a unique storage system that stores the solar heat for when it’s needed.

The system is being tested in Funk’s Coquitlam home

and the two hope to introduce it to an upcoming HVAC conference, along with the data that proves it saves money and reduces carbon.

As B.C. building code requirements move toward netzero construction, the two say such systems will be crucial, because buildings can be netzero for heating and cooling but “they still have that one literal hole where all the energy goes.”

There is no cure. However, a new medical device is being tested that might help restore sight or improve vision for sufferers of the Dry version of AMD. That device is now undergoing a clinical patient trial in the Coquitlam area. Treatments with the device are non-invasive, and do not include any drugs.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and evaluate the efficacy of externally applied microcurrent electrical stimulation in subjects with vision loss caused by Dry AMD, and to evaluate the ability of the medical device to improve the eyesight of trial participants.

The trial’s protocol has been approved

by Health Canada and is being monitored by a local ophthalmologist.

Participation is limited, but we ask inquiries to be limited to those with vision between 20/50 and 20/200.

Enjoy the gift of birds for annual Christmas count DiANe STRANDBeRG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

While many look forward to New Year’s Eve, a group of local birders is planning for a great time Jan. 4.

That’s when they’ll join the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count — North America’s longest-running citizen science project.

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the Tri-City birding enthusiasts will hike into forests and marshes, and along the shorelines in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam, to count birds and bird species.

Those numbers will add to a massive data project that gives us an understanding of how birds are doing, their population trends and distribution over the decades.

Started by Audubon Society more than 100 years ago, the Christmas Bird Count has become a popular event for local nature enthusiasts.

A varied thrush. PAUL STEEVES PHOTO

For Rob Butler, an ornithologist, researcher, writer and popular speaker, the count is also an opportunity to have some fun with other birders.

“Jan. 4 is the count day, when I join John Reynolds and George Clulow in the Minnekhada and Widgeon Slough area in what is becoming a tradition to try to see as many species as possible,” Butler said.

Participating in the bird count can also have its highs and lows. One year, the trio

didn’t see any black-capped chickadees.

“So each year, we celebrate when we do see a chickadee,” Butler said.

The local group Burke Mountain Naturalists has been participating in the TriCities portion of the Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the past 25 years and will be out again this year, with volunteers assigned to a team that is sent to one of 14 areas, including Colony Farm, Como Lake, Inlet Park, Lafarge Lake and along the Coquitlam River.

Participants can also join in by watching their feeders that day if their yard is located within the count circle.

The event begins at 8 a.m. and groups may be out for two to eight hours depending on the assigned area, according to the BMN website.

• For more information about the local bird count and the Burke Mountain Naturalists, visit www.burkemountainnaturalists.ca.

■ The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson ■ Reviewed by Alicia Butschler, Terry Fox Library The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is an unnerving story about four strangers who arrive at a house ready to seek the terrors inside. As they delve deeper into the mysterious circumstances that surround the house, they begin to question one another and slowly grow apart while the house itself grows stronger, ready to claim its next victim.

This has to be one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read. The narrative Jackson weaves is so encompassing that it manipulates the reader into rooting for one outcome and in the next sentence wondering how they could have ever been so foolish. This book haunts the reader just like its characters, slowly seeping into their mind like a rot and, before you know it, you belong to the house just as much as everyone else.

Select quotation: “Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

Find this title and other books by Jackson at your local library.

Read to cats & rabbits at Coquitlam shelter DiANe STRANDBeRG dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam Animal Shelter workers are hoping to start a Sunday reading tradition in the New Year to give cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals a dose of socialization.

Children who love animals can now read to them if they join the Rescue Readers Program, which starts Jan. 5 at the shelter located off Mariner Way in Coquitlam. As of last count, there were more than 30 small animals awaiting forever homes at the shelter.

The Rescue Readers Program running Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. will give youngsters an opportunity to practise their reading skills while also providing a socialization opportunity for the small creatures.

Alison Jackson, animal care supervisor with the city of Coquitlam. DIANE STRANDBERG PHOTO

“Both outgoing and shy animals can benefit from socialization,” explained Alison Jackson, animal care supervisor with the city of Coquitlam.

The cats are allowed to wander while the children read to them, but the other small animals will be in their

cages.

The program is running in other shelters and was adopted in Coquitlam as a way to provide a volunteer opportunity for the community.

“With people asking to volunteer, we wanted to come up with a way to make it as accessible as possible,” Jackson said.

The shelter is a cozy place for kids to come. It’s a bit of a rabbit warren with small cages of animals, food and toys in every nook and cranny as well as rooms where cats roam freely.

Children will be able to choose a book or bring their own to read to the animals for about half an hour.

Those under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult, Jackson said, and children can register by calling 604-927-7386 or email animalshelter@coquitlam.ca.

Registration now open for boys & girls born in 2002 to 2015 for the Spring 2020 season, which runs from April to June.

With Rock the Fox 2020 around the corner, Rock School students at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary have honed their chords and harmonies this holiday break to ready for their “final exam.”

Their stage performances, which count toward their semester-end mark, will happen this month over two days at Terry Fox Theatre, with students showing their newly learned talents with original and cover hits.

A total of 24 acts will play for this edition that starts Jan. 15, with tunes made famous by: Adele, Carrie Underwood, Ruth B., Serena Ryder, Oasis, Rex Orange County, The Pretty Reckless, Pet Shop Boys, Elton John, First-Aid Kit, Kings of Leon, Dick Dale, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Jimi Hendrix and Alice in Chains.

Jan. 16, the students will play another diverse sound mix: Kings of Leon, Blur, Green Day, Cavetown, Ed Sheeran, Khalid, Shawn Mendes, Radiohead, The Beatles, Eurythmics, Rhianna, Avenged Sevenfold, Lewis Capaldi, Ramones, Dick Dale, Billy Joel, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Motley Crue.

Taught by Juno awardwinning teacher Steve Sainas,

JACKSON WINDBLAD

Fox’s contemporary music instructor who founded Rock School, the full-credit program now sees about 200 Rock School and recording arts students each year, in grades 9 to 12, with the aim to teach music skills and genres as well as to create leadership through mentoring.

And ticket sales to their professionally produced semester-end shows are the program’s main source of funds to maintain and buy instruments and equipment, Sainas told The Tri-City News.

Several years back, Rock School’s success caught the attention of CARAS/ MusiCounts and received a $10,000 BandAid grant for new instruments.

DETAILS Tickets to Rock the Fox 2020 are $5 and available at the door on show nights.

Doors to the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam) open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. concerts.

In the lead up to the Academy Awards ceremony on Feb. 9, the Coquitlam Public Library will screen this month four past Oscar winners at its Poirier branch.

The films will roll on Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Nancy Bennett Room of the library (575 Poirier St.), starting on Jan. 9 with An American in Paris (1951) featuring Gene Kelly as an American ex-GI who stays in the French capital to become a painter.

Next up on Jan. 16 is the tear-jerker Terms of Endearment (1983), adapted from Larry McMurtry’s 1975 novel, with an all-star cast that includes Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger and Jack Nicholson.

Driving Miss Daisy airs on Jan. 23, a 1989 flick about an old Southern Jewish woman and her African-American chauffeur.

And 2017’s Best Picture winner La La Land, with Canadian actor Ryan Gosling, wraps up the library film series on Jan. 30.

There are no costs for drop-in viewing. Visit coqlibrary.ca.

Meanwhile, the leading contenders for the 2020 Best Picture award are: Bombsell, The Farewell, The Irishman, Joker, Knives Out, Little Women, Marriage Story, 1917, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Parasite.

THOMPSON, Mike 1934 - 2019 It is with profound sadness we find we must live the rest of our lives without our incredibly sweet, kind and caring husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. Wife of 38 years, Joann, his sons Art, Bill (Tara) and Mike Jr. (Laura), his sister Joan Fraser and niece Bev Irvine (Den McGinnis), his step-children Laura (Mike Jr.), Randy Miron (Trish) and Adele Garofano (Mark). 10 grandchildren; Kris Henry, Ken Thompson (Erin) Kyla Shelefontiuk (Jason), Kris Heckert (Tash), Jena Rostas (Jason), Jesse Kirbyson (Jeremy), Katrina Dobson (Andrew), Mike Thompson III (Rhea), Jessica and Brent Thompson. 16 great grandchildren; Rhiannon Henry (Dylan), Tyra Henry, Bradley and Kolton Thompson, Nathan Heckert, Lira Llarena, Holly Ross, Kinslee and Presley Heckert, Ruby and Evie Rostas, Jeff and Jordan Kirbyson, Aydian and Ashton Dobson and Karsyn Samson. Great-greatgrandson Carter Speidel. Mike spent his life loving and protecting his family and serving his community. He spent 12 years working at the CPR and then put on a suit and tie and joined the insurance business. Mike and Joann founded Coastal Insurance Services in 1983 and retired to Gabriola Island in 2001. Mike was born in New Westminster and raised in Pitt Meadows. He moved to Port Coquitlam where he spent most of his life, raised his sons and served on City Council for 14 years. Mike was an avid coach of sports, including fastball and competitive bowling. He travelled to all Canadian Provinces, most of the United States and many foreign countries but he spent his last days in his most loved place by the sea on Gabriola Island.

He will be SO, SO missed.

Arrangements for a Celebration, will be in Port Coquitlam on a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Hospital Foundation in your community. Mike would have loved that.
