NewsLeader year iN photos: 2012Below: Lately, it seems May Day festivities at Queen’s Park Stadium

are as much about the weather as the traditional dances and ceremonies. These clouds looked menacing, but the event stayed

mostly dry. Right: Kids doing craft activities are pretty standard fodder at the myriad of festivals we cover every year. Often I end

up just walking on by in search of something more compelling. But every once in a while there’s a new way to shoot it.

Cellphones able to take photos with more resolution than the first generation of expensive digital SLR cameras have helped make everyone a photographer.

Gone are the days of lugging around a canvas bag filled with lenses and filters. Extinct is the mysterious world of the darkroom, where chemicals and creativity could be mixed to create magic.

No sooner is the image saved into the camera’s memory when it can be shared through websites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, SmugMug, Picasa.

Photography hasn’t just become an expression of the

way we see the world, it’s become a way to interact with the world.

See an item on a shopping expedition but not sure if it’s the right

colour? Snap a photo with the cellphone, text it back home and wait for the reply. And who hasn’t had the annoying experience of being surrounded by smartphone snappers at a concert or special event, more preoccupied with reliving the occasion back home on their computer than just enjoying the moment in the moment?

But have all these technological advancements that have made photography so ubiquitous actually made it better? Or has it become the 21st century expression of the proverbial infinite monkey theorem, that if a monkey is locked in a room with a typewriter long enough, it will eventually type Shakespeare? Is the monkey now holding a digital camera or cellphone?

A lot of the images that fly past us every day are just noise. They’re a reminder, a fleeting thought, an exclamation. They’re glimpsed, digested then discarded, time to move on to the next one.

Great photos rise above the noise. They make us stop. They make us see the everyday in a new way. They make us think.

Sometimes they’re a call to action. Sometimes they’re just a moment of appreciation.

Think of the significant news events of the past year and it’s likely a still image will flash through your mind: parents hugging their children at the Newtown shootings; Usain Bolt in full stride at the London Olympics; a luxury cruise ship tipped on its side off the Italian coast.

And for all the images posted on all the websites, a photo printed on actual paper still has currency, still conveys a sense of permanence and worth.Nobody boasts to their friends or family they got their picture on a website, but a photo in the newspaper gets on the refrigerator or pasted into the scrapbook.

Of course nobody is under the illusion that the photography within this special issue of the NewsLeader is great.

In fact, some of it is pretty routine. Or at least seemed that way when I first submitted them to accompany stories or stand on their own as coverage of the day-to-day happenings of Burnaby and New Westminster.

But on scrolling through the thousands of files stored on the hard drive they all jumped out as solid achievements of what every photojournalist sets out to do every day when they load their gear into the trunk of the car and hit the road; they tell stories. And collected together, they tell a pretty good story of the year that was.

Enjoy.

NewsLeader’s eye on New WestNewsLeader photographer and journalist Mario Bartel has an excellent eye for intriguing visual shots that go above and beyond the ordinary. In this edition he shares some of his favourite pictures and stories from 2012

It was a windy day and the soccer game I was about to

shoot at Mercer Stadium hadn’t yet started. So I wandered over to where this fellow was flying

a large kite. It made a nice one-off feature, until the wind caught hold of his kite ... and

dragged him through the muddy field. He was a good sport about it though, and we laughed when

I went to get his name.

Communicating in a Marriage impacted by Hearing Loss.

It is frustrating when you live with someone that has a hearing loss! When you have to repeat something over and over before you are understood, can fray the nerves. Countless a r g u m e n t s h a p p e n b e c a u s e o f misunderstandings or out of sheer frustration when trying to be understood.

A normal conversation is spontaneous. When a spouse says, “Look at that” and has to repeat it several times, they will finally get to, “Never mind”. Conversations can become limited over time, with very short answers losing the richness, the flow and even the humor. A loss of intimacy begins to happen and there can be a sense of loneliness for the husband and wife.

The spouse and family members often substitute as the interpreter and this short-term solution can have side effects. Friction and resentment is often a result for the person who is doing the “listening and repeating”. For the person with a hearing loss, they can see the look on their spouse or child's face when they have to ask that something be repeated. It is hard for people to shout for the third time without looking angry.

The result to the hearing impaired person? Withdrawal. They simply begin to stop putting themselves in situations where it is difficult to

hear and understand. In other words, they can stop participating in their life. Perhaps they no longer want to spend time with the grandchildren (children's voices can be difficult to understand). People with a hearing loss can feel as if they are a burden to their spouse and sadly, they can feel stupid in social and listening situations-which they come to dread.

There are a few simple things to help ease the situation and help people to communicate.

Tell people you have a hearing loss, too simple to believe but very difficult for people to do. The statement can get an immediate understanding from people in the conversation.

Ask people to speak directly to you, keep your eyes on the person speaking! We communicate with body language and non-verbal cues.

Remind your spouse not to talk to you from another room, again it's simple, but we need (even those with normal hearing) the non-verbal cues.

If you need hearing instruments, just like your glasses, wear them!

Keep in mind, the more severe the hearing loss, the more important it is to use these listening tools. Be patient with your loved one, hearing loss occurs slowly over time and is a health condition that is all too often ignored. Encourage your spouse to have their hearing tested once a year. Just like your vision, your hearing continues to change over time and having it tested is the first step to understanding and if necessary, getting help for the loss.

The longer people go without getting help for

their hearing loss, the harder it is for them to relearn how to hear. The brain, where sound is processed has forgotten many sounds, and must relearn how to hear. An example is background noise, like the whirring of a fan is normally tuned out. For a person that has gotten help for their hearing, they will need to familiarize themselves with the sound, and then “tell” their brain to send it to the background.

For many people with an untreated hearing loss, background noise is as loud as the conversation and it makes speech understanding very difficult.

We live in a very noisy world and if you live long enough, you will loose some of your hearing. Rock concerts and loud music are one of the reasons people need help for their hearing at a much younger age.

Hearing loss is truly a condition that effects the spouse. They can become the human hearing aid, interpreting conversations and repeating themselves over and over. It's no wonder that relationships are strained. Be patient with each other and understand this disability. Make your lives easier by getting help for a hearing loss. In the last five year's technology has advanced to the computer age. Hearing devices are fit with a microchip and are more sophisticated then the one granddad wore. They are smaller and smarter using advanced digital technology.

Aliens and oil tankers: a 2012 news quiz

BlACk pRess FilesNo, this is not a landing pad for flying saucers. It’s a a tanker filling up with crude oil at Burnaby’s Westridge Terminal.

ANSWERS: 1-D; 2-A; 3-B; 4-B; 5-A; 6-C; 7-B; 8-C; 9-D; 10-A&C; 11-C; 12-C; 13-D; 14-A; 15-D; 16-C; 17-D; 18-B; 19-B; 20-A



For years, 10 or so dedicated train buffs from the BC Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society have been lovingly restoring and rehabilitating carriages from the 1940s to the 1960s, the peak of rail travel in Canada, in the Braid industrial area. Amongst the 23 cars parked in the warehouse and on a siding at the New Westminster/Coquitlam border are coach, observation, lounge, dining and mail cars. But whenever they were booked out for events, special excursions or even movie shoots, the group had to rely on the graces of railway companies to get the carriages where they needed to go.So when they recently got their hands on an engine—and one with the heft of history at that—there was cause for excitement. On Feb. 8, 1096, the VIA 6300 FP9 had been at the head of the Skeena, VIA’s regular run from Prince Rupert to Jasper, Alberta, where it was latched onto the Super Continental that would then travel on to Toronto. Somewhere east of Hinton, a switching error put a westbound freight train on the same track. The ensuing collision killed 23 passengers and crewmen. The old engine had not been run for six years when the local train buffs found it in Alberta.

Clockwise from top left: As house fires go, the one in a small Sapperton bungalow was unspectacular. But a man died and after all the other media had left, I worked the scene a little longer to try to get a sense of the deceased owner. That patience paid off when I was able to talk to the neighbour who tried to save him; Sometimes you feel good about a photo just because you managed to tell the whole story in one frame, such as these preparations the City of New West was taking in case the rising Fraser River freshet threatened condos along the Quay; New Westminster’s historic Downtown is enjoying renewed life and vitality, and a key component of that is the city’s new Anvil Centre. What better way to show that transformation than to contrast the new building against the old Arundel Mansion; The muted colours of a snowstorm always create opportunities to look for simple, graphic images.

From top left: Another ongoing challenge for photographers is when we’re assigned to shoot a feature on someone who works in a setting in which we can’t identify others. Somehow I had to show Jeremie Tucker giving her musical therapy class in a care home to adults with physical challenges, so some careful framing was called for; Parades are really just people walking by. So the challenge is to get a photos that are something more than that; A performer from the Vancouver Circus School does an aerial routine at the Uptown Live festival in May; It’s spring, and the Fraser River is running high. The challenge is to show that even though it hasn’t spilled its banks; It’s too bad the official opening of New Westminster’s new Pier Park was scheduled for the rainiest, most miserable day of the spring. But while the weather may have kept some people away, it also created some neat photo possibilities amidst the unique structures and features of the park.



From top right: Lacrosse is a great game to

photograph; it’s fast and it’s rough. But bad lighting

and poorly-maintained glass in the arenas often

limit the kind of shots we get. Every once in a while

though, something cool transcends the routine; The change of seasons

is one of the best things about shooting sports.

After a soggy cold winter of covering soccer and

rugby, it’s nice to be able to park myself on a stool along the first

base line and photogaph baseball. What says

spring more than a close play at second base with

blossoming trees in the background; The key

to shooting rugby in a rainstorm is hoping the

rain starts close enough to game time that it’s too

late for the city to close the fields to protect the

grass; Sometimes football is like roughhouse ballet.

Especially in the rain; They may no longer be

the youngest, or fastest, but that didn’t stop

seniors competing at the BC Seniors Games from giving it their all, and

capturing their spirit and determination

was a treat.

From top: ‘The person will let us take their photo, but they don’t want to be identified,’ is like a death sentence for a photographer. In those situations, it’s hard not to fall back on the clichéd profile silhouette. But for this story about a woman whose business is combatting lice infestations, I knew exactly how I’d overcome her reluctance to reveal her identity. After all, her job is all about her comb; As an avid cyclist myself, I’m always on the lookout for fun cycling stories, and what could be more fun and quirky than a nascent effort to establish a regular bike polo game in New West.


My name is Ashton and I am 10 years old. I began my paper route a few months ago.The thing I like most about my paper route is that my house is on my route! I also reallyenjoy making my own money. I invest 60% of my paycheque and spend 40%. I amcurrently saving for a trip to Disneyworld and Harry Potter Resort during Spring Break.

I have many interests some of which are: playing video games, watching tv, archery and I love playing baseball. I also attend Burnaby Japanese Language School.
