Christian upset over billboard

Critic says advertisement ‘attacks Christians and believers in the Bible’ BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A controversial advertisement promoting atheism has one man in New Westminster calling for its removal, claiming the ad attacks Christians. Mark Jaskela, a member of a volunteer ministry based in New Westminster, wrote a letter to the Centre of Inquiry Canada regarding one of their advertisements recently posted on a billboard in the city. In the letter, Jaskela questions the motives behind the ad and its message, calling on the Centre for Inquiry Canada, an educational charity aimed at promoting evidence-based thinking, to admit the ad has taken freedom of speech too far. “Of course, lying in advertising is nothing new. However, lying for the sake of lying, lying to coerce others into basing their lives on lies and, most unfortunately, for the sake of publicly attacking people who believe in the Bible, that’s hate speech,” Jaskela wrote to the centre. Earlier this month, Pattison Outdoor advertising rejected the ads on the grounds

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Bible thumping? Controversial ads paid for by the Centre for Inquiry Canada have found a home on billboards owned by CBS Outdoor, including the one seen here on McBride between Eighth and Sixth avenues. that the Centre for Inquiry Canada did not meet the company’s guidelines with its design. Pattison told Global News the Centre for Inquiry was asked to change some of the copy in the ads and resubmit an application, but the centre refused. The advertisement, which was recently posted on a billboard on McBride Boulevard between Eighth and Sixth avenues, feature a young man holding a camera with the words “Dave 27:1 … Lead with your heart. Not with your Bible. Without God. We’re all good.” Less than a month later, the Centre for Inquiry managed to secure advertising

space with CBS Outdoor at a number of different locations across the Lower Mainland – the most recent in New Westminster. “In a pluralistic, democratic society we’re all free to believe as we choose to believe within reason, but these ads are specifically slanted in a ways as to attack Christians and believers in the Bible on the grounds that somehow belief in the Bible is some kind of assault to freedom of thought or self-determination, which is essentially bigotry,” he told The Record. While Jaskela acknowledges everyone has their own beliefs, he believes

this advertisement, and those like it, are attempting to do more than promote atheism. “I recognize the way of the world,” he said. “There is a growing anti-God kind of movement that is coalescing in Western society today for various reasons, but at the same time, this kind of thing is essentially hate speech and I’m not interested in acquiescing to what could amount to some kind of more pronounced persecution of people of faith in my country.” Neither the Centre of Inquiry nor CBS Outdoor could be reached for comment at press time.

‘Modest changes’ in 2014 property assessments BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Most single-family homeowners in New Westminster who receive their 2014 assessment notices in the coming days will likely notice little change or a slightly lower value in their

property over the previous year, but condo and townhouse owners could see their values rise, according to B.C. Assessment. The city is part of the North Fraser assessment region of Metro Vancouver, which includes Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore

and Belcarra. “Most homes in the North Fraser region are relatively stable or slightly less in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” deputy assessor Zina Weston said in a media release. The majority of single-family and strata residential property

owners throughout the region will see “modest” changes in the minus 10 per cent to plus five per cent range, Weston said. Approximately 67,000 singlefamily residential properties in the cities of Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam were reassessed for the 2014 assess-

ment roll using B.C. Assessment’s review program, which allows appraisers to view various data sources including street-front photos, footprint sketches and existing inventory at a glance. “All of these information ◗Property Page 8

ENTREPRENEURS GREW PLANS IN ROYAL CITY, BUT HARVEST IN MAPLE RIDGE

Medical pot biz expanding BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Despite some major steps towards the legalization of marijuana, the all-natural drug continues to be misunderstood, according to a group of New Westminster entrepreneurs. When the group was looking for a location to build a state-ofthe-art medical marijuana production facility, they were faced with a number of obstacles. Enter the municipality of Maple Ridge. Councillors in the relatively small Fraser Valley city were apprehensive when first approached by Agrima Botanicals chief operations officer James Poelzer. Soon, however, Poelzer and the city came to an agreement, which led to the construction of Agrima Botanicals’ medical marijuana production facility on agricultural land in rural Maple Ridge. Agrima Botanicals got its start under Health Canada’s soon to expire Marijuana Medical Access Regulations about a year and a half ago. Since then, the group of New Westminster natives has been churning out high quality herb for patients across the country. The company prides itself on offering a variety of strains that address different ailments, not only pain, according to Poelzer. On April 1, 2014, changes to Health Canada’s regulations will take effect, moving the production of marijuana out of backyards and into larger, commercial operations. While this change comes with its share of pros and cons, Poelzer is excited about what it means for Agrima Botanicals. “The research is definitely a very exciting opportunity for us,” he said. “We have some guys who do our growing and science side of it and they’re very excited about operating under these new regulations.” Agrima Botanicals will be working with faculty and students from Simon Fraser University to study marijuana – there are so many things that remain unknown because of its stigma in society, Poelzer said. “The ability for doctors, researchers to get grants is so much easier because it’s now regulated,” he said. “Now it’s legitimized, … and the opportunities

to do more research and find out just how much it can actually help is amazing.” Marijuana is used for medical purposes like pain and nausea relief. These benefits are thanks to the chemical compounds found within Cannabis. These compounds are called cannabinoids – most known being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). “But there have been shown to be about a hundred different ones in cannabis. So you can imagine, we’re only really looking at two and there’s over a hundred so there are definitely some

interesting potential therapeutic benefits,” Poelzer said. “We’ve really only scratched the surface on the medicinal benefits of marijuana.” With new regulations on the horizon, Agrima was required to apply for the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations licence in order to continue production. Under these new regulations, Health Canada has declared all personal growers’ licences void come April 1, giving companies like Agrima an opportunity to make a place for themselves in the fledgling industry – but it won’t come cheap.

Health Canada’s new regulations require production facilities to have sophisticated security systems as well as an inventory system to catalogue and track the plants produced and sold. Because this is a brand new industry, there were very few companies providing these types of services. “That inventory management system is a huge opportunity for companies to start coming out with new software.

Two crashes on one day along McBride

First accident may have involved alcohol BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

One person is recovering in hospital after losing control of his car while traveling southbound on McBride Boulevard. At about 11:40 a.m. on Dec. 29, a 22-year-old Surrey resident was driving his Nissan Maxima along McBride towards the Pattullo Bridge when he lost control of his car and collided with a flatbed truck traveling northbound. The collision with the truck caused the Nissan to strike another vehicle traveling northbound, according to a media release from New Westminster police. Both southbound lanes of McBride Boulevard from Sixth Avenue were closed for nearly five hours as investigators with the department’s collision analysis reconstruction team processed the scene. According to police, speed and alcohol are being considered as possible causes for the accident. follow us on

The driver of the Nissan was taken to hospital with significant injuries to his lower body . At this time, he remains in hospital in serious but stable condition, according to the release. Neither drivers of the other vehicles involved sustained significant injuries. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Const. Tomas Graham at 604-5255411. Nearly seven hours later, police were called to a second crash on McBride Boulevard, this time at Sixth Avenue. At about 6:20 p.m. New Westminster police responded to a collision between two vehicles at Sixth Avenue and McBride. An initial investigation has determined that a northbound vehicle was attempting to make an illegal left turn onto Sixth Avenue when it was struck by an oncoming southbound vehicle, according to a media release from New Westminster police. A 73-year-old passenger of the northbound vehicle suffered serious but nonlife threatening injuries

We’re part of the crowd that hopes that all that was good in 2013 remains, and that 2014 sees humanity move toward a kinder, gentler planet.

It is, as the cliché says, the only planet we have.

B.C. election was big story of 2013 IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

here’s not much point at looking back at the big political stories of the past year. The stunning result of the May provincial election pretty well dwarfs everything else. The election result almost redefined B.C. politics, or at least many of its conventions The future of the NDP (long the alternative to the free enterprise coalition party) is now very uncertain, political polling (the mainstay of political strategy and media coverage) may no longer be reliable, older voters appear to hold a disproportionately high level of political power because they actually cast ballots, and a lot of issues and controversies the media and political opposition make hay over don’t seem to count with many voters. So instead of dwelling on the past, let’s look ahead at what are expected to be some key issues and decisions in the coming year: 1. To build or not to build: mega projects are everywhere! The federal government will announce sometime this spring whether the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline will get the

green light to proceed. Although the project has been met with overwhelming opposition from First Nations and much of the general public, it is commonly thought the Harper government strongly backs the idea of building a pipeline through remote northern wilderness to hook up with oil tankers along a pristine coastline that has never seen a tanker. In the coming year, focus will also shift towards the other big pipeline proposal: Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its existing pipeline. The bigger issue here is the five-fold increase in tanker traffic that will result from the new pipeline, but Kinder Morgan has done a better job of “selling” its project than Enbridge did when it comes to garnering public support for it. Nevertheless, look for a lot of public protests and demonstrations targeted at Kinder Morgan over the next year. Another proposed mega project will also get a lot of attention this year: the Site C dam on the Peace River. Public hearings will last until January, and eventually the provincial government will formally announce what everyone already knows: it supports the project, and so construction will begin. Again, there will be anti-Site C dam protests in the coming year, but I suspect they will have little impact on the decision to green light the project.

It is time to ensure safety for all, instead of making money on repeat offenders.

Dear Editor:

I recently watched a TV news piece about another snow skier going out of bounds. The Emergency Search and Rescue did their best and were successful. I realize they do not fine skiers who break the rules/law on the mountain. I too do not want someone to die instead of paying a fine. How about the ski resorts charge a fine for this? The skier would not be allowed to snow ski on the mountain until the fine was paid. If every customer signed a waiver that includes not to go out of bounds and obey all signs, then a fine would be permitted. It is time for these ski resorts to throw snowballs at this issue and stop doing nothing about a danger◗Projects Page 7 ous practice that happens on their property.

would go along with the increase in wafting coal dust clouds and loss of much needed farmland to make room for new

construction. In such a scenario, a healthy environment is once again supposed to take a back seat to extremely large mineral extractions and shipping, creating transport corridor nightmares via gridlock. Frank Sterle Jr., via email

Projects: Mines, port expansions ◗ continued from page 6

Other big projects to take significant strides forward this coming year include a number of mines, and expansion of port facilities in Metro Vancouver. The B.C. Liberals will support all of them, while the NDP will tie itself in knots as it tries to accommodate both the environmental movement and the private sector unions. Speaking of the NDP: 2. Doesn’t anyone want this job? NDP leader Adrian Dix announced back in September he would step down to make way for a new leader, and so far the only thing notable about a contest to replace him is the fact that no one seems to want the job. The number of potential candidates has dwindled to just a handful, with long-time MLA Mike Farnworth heading the

list. Others may include rookie MLAs David Eby, Judy Darcy and George Heyman. But none of these candidates appear to scare the B.C. Liberals whatsoever. Farnworth, if he wins, will be painted by them as a nice guy who is controlled by the special interest groups (unions, enviros, etc.) who control the NDP. Heyman and Darcy are former leaders of public sector unions, which are hardly viewed as representative of most peoples’ interests. And Eby has a laundry list of unpopular positions he took when he ran the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (I suspect the B.C. Liberals will be rooting for him, more than anyone else, to emerge as the victor). 3. Everyone wants more transit but doesn’t want to pay for it. That, in a nutshell, is the conundrum that

TransLink finds itself forever mired in. But next fall’s pivotal referendum on how to fund transit operations may finally provide some clarity on the issue. We haven’t seen the question yet, and Premier Christy Clark and Transportation Minister Todd Stone seem to be on different pages on the issue (Clark favours a multiple choice ballot, while Stone wants a single, clear question). Nevertheless, the transit referendum has the potential to have more impact on Metro Vancouver than any single municipal election. 4. Enough of the talk, let’s see some results. As in, just one contract signed, sealed and delivered to build a liquefied natural gas plant in B.C. would be nice. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

sources are used to ensure that B.C. Assessment’s data is as current as possible,” Weston said. Overall, the North Fraser’s assessment roll increased from $130 billion last year to over $132.5 billion this year. A total of $2.9 billion of this growth includes subdivisions, rezoning and new construction. In New Westminster, the total overall assessment bumped up slightly from $13.761 billion to $13.878 billion this year.

Market trends for residential properties in New Westminster: ◆ Single-family home, Glenbrooke, 1950s: $707,000 (2013); $691,000 (2014) ◆ Single-family home, Queen’s Park, 1910s: $1,071,000 (2013); $1,008,000 (2014)

◆ Single-family home, Sapperton, 1930s: $548,000 (2013); $537,000 (2014) ◆ Single-family home, Queensborough, 1990s: $651,000 (2013); $664,000 (2014) ◆ Strata, highrise, three bedroom, 1992: $392,000 (2013); $396,000 (2014) ◆ Strata, lowrise, two bedroom, 1993: $298,000 (2013); $298,000 (2014) ◆ Strata, townhouse, three bedroom, 1990: $441,000 (2013); $458,000 (2014) In addition, most owners of commercial and industrial properties in the North Fraser region will see changes ranging from minus five per cent to plus 10 per cent. Some examples of changes outside of this range are properties such as multi-family zoned land and properties with potential for high-den-

sity development, which continues to experience strong demand, particularly in the Metrotown area of Burnaby. Some properties that have recently been rezoned to a higher density are experiencing increases in total value in excess of 60 per cent. Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2013 can contest the finding with B.C. Assessment. Visit www.bcassessment.ca for more information about the 2014 assessment roll including lists of 2014’s top 100 most valuable residential properties across the province. The home with the highest value in New Westminster is located at 221 Queens Ave. and is assessed at $1,655,000. Next is 127 Queens Ave., assessed at $1,587,000; and 417 Fifth St., assessed at $1,580,000.

WHAT WAS SELLING IN 1867 NEW WESTMINSTER

From Harper’s mag to tea OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

elcome to 2014. We start the new year with column number 1,664, and to do this we have reached into our files for a couple of intriguing items from the local media of the mid1800s. In 1867, New Westminster was not very big and was a roughly laid out community on the banks of the Fraser. The plans of the Royal Engineers had been followed, and there were houses, buildings, docks and a street pattern all mixed into a difficult, rugged, muddy landscape. The society of the early

town was also an interesting mixture of peoples from around the world. In December of 1867, G.C. Clarkson and Co.’s Bookstore offered an item for sale that seems quite removed from a pioneer community and more closely tied to cosmopolitan locales. The item was a subscription to the newly created and published, Harper’s Bazaar. This publication, still around today, is regarded as America’s first fashion magazine. A new publication prepared in a weekly newspaper format, it featured fashion from the centres of Germany and France. A local advertisement noted: “It is the best thing in the fashion line yet issued. Each number contains six pages of plates, beside a sheet of patterns and 10 pages of reading matter.” The cost to receive or give a subscription in 1867

was $7.50 a year for folks in town, or $8.50 for “up country” subscribers. The bookstore also had copies of the first four issues for readers to peruse prior to subscribing. It seems the early city was a bit more culturally advanced than some would think. We know that many newspapers, periodicals and magazines from around the world were available locally in the earliest decades, now we can add Harper’s Bazaar. Also for sale in town, this time in 1883, the store of Ebenezer Brown and Co. attracts our attention, not so much for what he was selling but for the quantity he had to offer. Some people are often surprised to learn of the vast array of products that were available in our early shops. As with the previously mentioned magazine, there was much more than we

might guess. Eb Brown, a man of many interests, who operated several business enterprises, was especially known for his liquor sales, and in the same 1883 newspaper he was promoting the availability of “Viceroy and Provost Whiskey – the purest and best Irish and Scotch whiskeys imported.” But that’s not the product he had recently received via the ship Martaban from London, England. Ebenezer Brown had, ready to sell in fivepound, 10-pound and 27pound boxes, “about 6,000 pounds of fine teas”… that, folks, is a lot of tea! Prices for the tea started at 35 cents. Perhaps a comfortable, quiet, relaxing few hours could be enjoyed with a nice cup of tea, a wee dram of whiskey and a magazine – perhaps Harper’s Bazaar.

Library can help you turn a new page for 2014 BY NAOMI EISENSTAT CONTRIBUTOR From the New Westminster Library

’Tis the season to be resolute. Many residents of New Westminster have made New Year’s resolutions for 2014. If you’re one of those brave optimists, the New Westminster Public Library has materials designed to help you achieve your objectives through the year. Change is difficult – a common belief is that it takes six weeks to make a new habit (or break a bad one) and motivation can sometimes be difficult to muster. Changeology: Five Steps to Realizing Your Goals and Resolutions by John C. Norcross or This Year I Will by M.J. Ryan can help you form a framework from which

you can maintain your resolutions into the spring. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Craft Rubin is a popular pick by book clubs. It chronicles a woman’s year-long project to become happier, in which each month she focused on a particular theme. The beginning of this year might inspire the reader to try their own happiness project. The most common New Year’s resolutions are to eat healthier or to exercise more frequently. Safe places to start may be the Beginning Runner’s Handbook, which outlines an easy-to-follow 13-week exercise regimen. For the gullet, check out Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More Than 75 Recipes by food

guru Mark Bittman. The new year is also an excellent time to pick up new skills. Bittman also wrote How to Cook Everything. Cook your way through a few of his chapters and you’ll soon find yourself more comfortable in the kitchen. Carla Snyder’s One Pan, Two Plates is a fun culinary resource for couples who love to cook together but find a sink full of dishes a drag. The library has a wealth of information to fill New Westminster with self-taught specialists, with books explaining everything from Excel to wine. And of course, the New Westminster Public Library is pleased to help you with the most important resolution of all: read more.

80 years: Adapting to change is essential ◗ continued from page 9

Sixth Street jewelry store became available in 2012, Cartwright-Coates seized the opportunity to expand as the increased space provided room to offer more jewelry lines and create a lounge area where customers can sit and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed java from the coffee bar. She said the expansion reaffirms the business’s commitment to its customers and to the community. “We have been in this location for 18 years now,” she said. “After 80 years, we are very pleased to have such a deep customer base. Referrals are the backbone of our business.” Three generations of the Cartwright

family have operated the jewelry store – sometimes tending to third-generation customers of the shop. “I enjoyed the people most as far as the business is concerned,” Cartwright said. “It is an emotional business.” Cartwright-Coates and her staff have been privy to more than a few wedding proposals, when grooms-tobe pop the question while browsing with their sweethearts. “The surprise can be part of the journey,” she said. “That is when the Kleenex boxes come out for all of us.” While jewelry is often part of celebrations such as births, engagements and weddings, it’s also something that creates an emotional connection

to clients – even in death. The shop is able to remake family heirlooms into legacy pieces that hold the memories of the original owner, but meets today’s needs. “That is where that memory starts again,” said Cartwright-Coates. This year’s anniversary has been memory making and a time of reflection – and looking ahead – for members of the Cartwright Jewelers’ family as well. “I think the future is good for us, for Cartwright Jewelers. We have that legacy of customer referral, the ability to treat all our customers with respect,” she said. “I see us continuing to grow and prosper.”

◗ IN THE GAME

Youth male track athlete of the year named ◗P17 The Record’s athlete of the half decade ◗P17

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

All-Canadian The Record’s 2013 athlete of the year BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster’s Jon Cornish came full circle – going from B.C. high school player of the year to Canada’s best. The Calgary Stampeders non-import running back was named the winner of the Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s athlete of the year on Dec. 9. Cornish was the first CFL player in 44 years to win the award. The New Westminster product won the CFL rushing title with 1,813 yards this season, breaking the long-standing record he set a year ago for most rushing yards in a single season by a Canadian. This season’s yardage on the ground was the fourthhighest single-season rushing total in CFL history. Cornish also led the league with 14 touchdowns

and 2,157 total yards from scrimmage. This season, Cornish was named the CFL’s most outstanding player – just the third Canadian ever to be so honoured. He also won the outstanding Canadian award for a second consecutive season. During the regular season, Cornish rushed for a career-high 208 yards on 17 carries in a Western Division win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, earning him a second league offensive player of the week award and fourth top Canadian mention this season. In his CFL career, Cornish has won the weekly top Canadian award no less than 18 times. Last season, Cornish broke Normie Kwong’s 56-year-old single-season rushing mark by a nonimport in his first season as a starting running back with the Stamps.

Record runner: Calgary Stampeder running back Jon Cornish was an easy pick for The Record’s athlete of the year in 2013.

The New Westminster C3 Royals came out on top at the annual Herb House midget hockey tournament. The C3 Royals came back from a slow start to nip New West C1 for a spot in the final four on a tiebreak, and then handed New West C2 its one and only loss of the tournament en route to the gold medal. C3 overcame an earlier 3-2 loss to C2 in pool play, defeating their association counterpart 7-1 in the tournament semifinal. Luka Djuras led the way with two first-period goals. In the championship final, C3 scored four goals in the third period to beat Ridge Meadows 5-2 in the gold-medal final. Djuras sparked the four-goal rally, and six seconds later Liam Bujnowicz scored the eventual gamewinning goal with his second of two goals in the game. Bryce Davies also scored into an empty net. “We’re competing with teams we’re consistent with ◗House Page 17
