26 ‘Terrace Reviews —. Wednesday, December 18,.1991

| Looking back... =

Compiled by Diana English

ONE YEAR AGO
THIS WEEK...

Terrace city council was in the
process of reviewing their 1991
B.C. Transit agreement. As part of
the review, council was expecting
to consider a fare hike because the
Terrace system had the lowest
fares of any compatable system in
the province. Special rates for
college students were being con-
sidered.

A police investigation was under
way following the cancellation of
a Christmas Variety Show that had
been sponsored by the Terrace
Chapter of the White Cane Club.
Tickets for the show had been sold
by telephone solicitation and were
hand-delivered to the buyer's door.
However, no show ever took place,
and it was believed that no show
was ever in fact booked. it was
also believed by the Terrace
RCMP that the White Cane Club
was an unwitting victim in a scam
perpetrated by a man who pulled
the same scam successfully in
Kitimat and unsuccessfully in
Prince Rupert. An investigation
was in progress, with the police in
the three communities pooling
their evidence.

Local officials were on hand for
the official opening of the Shames
Mountain Ski Resort access road.
The government-funded road,
which cost $4.9 million, was called
an example of "persistence and co-
operation". That same day the
Shames Mountain Ski Corporation
held their fifth annual general
meeting and reported on progress
to date. The chairlift and T-bar
were operational, the last two
quarter sections of the day lodge
from Kitsumkalum Mountain were
expected to be in place within
days, and snow grooming
machines were taking care of the
snow that was falling almost every
night. Modular buildings were set
up to house the rental shop, ski
school office, ticket wicket, con-
cession stand and change area.
Chemical toilets were in place to
be used until water and sewer
systems were operational. Skiing
was expected to start for the gen-
eral public on the coming week-
end.

The Skeena Senior Citizens’
Housing Society was waging battle
with the Canada Post Corporation.
At issue was Canada Post’s offer
of "Superboxes" at the Twin River
Estates seniors’ housing complex
in place of door to door delivery.
Canada Post was saying that the
decision was a matter of policy,
that they had not offered door-to-
door delivery to new developments
of any kind for over two years. At
the same time, a spokesperson for
the Twin River Estates said he had
walked the almost-completed, 30-
init complex and found that door-
to-door delivery there would take

eight minutes; he calculated that
when the complex was completed
with all 70 units, delivery would
fake 20 minutes..He also said they
liad met with the Skeena MP and
were in the process of setting up

meetings with the federal minister

The Community Futures Business
Development Centre officially
opened its doors after being in
operation for over a month and
having already received 54 busi-
ness applications. The Business
Development Centre was one of
four options in the Canada Job
Strategy, geared at helping individ-
uals and businesses and was ident-
ified by the Community Futures
committee as the first priority in
economic development for this
area. The manager of the Business
Development Centre said almost
all new business are lacking in
knowledge and many are short of
money. The centre would provide
consultation services at no cost to
new and established businesses.
They would also help in develop-
ing organizational structures, cash
flow, budgets, projected income
statements and business plans.

THREE YEARS AGO
THIS WEEK...

Both the city’s Finance Commit-
tee and Public Works Committec
had met with the local RCMP to
determine if there was a pedestrian
safety problem in Terrace, and, if
so, what could be done about it.
Recommendations arising from the
committees were to implement a
pedestrian/driver awareness pro-
gram and have the RCMP -
monitor certain crosswalks and

warn or ticket violators. The two’

on the 4600 block of Lakelse
Ave, and the crosswalk between
McDonalds and the Skeena Mall.
Pedestrian-controlled traffic lights
were not seen as a viable solution
to the problems but the RCMP
Staff Sergeant believed that both
drivers and pedestrians needed to

become educated on how to pre-

vent accidents and be aware of the
other’s presence.

After a marathon negotiating
session, neither the Terrace and
District Teachers’ Association nor
School District 88 were saying if
schools would reopen after the
Christmas break. Although many
issues had been either resolved or
put into a “less difficult" position,
many major issues had yet to be
addressed.

FOUR YEARS AGO
THIS WEEK...

Terrace city council sent dis-
cussion on a proposed Tertace and
District Victim’s Assistance Pro-
gram to a Committee of the Whole
for further investigation.-In a pres-
entation to the Community and
Recreation Services Committee,
RCMP Cst. Ewen Harvie explained
that. the purpose of the program
was to help victims and their fam-
ilies cope with the effects of crime
and victimization by referring them
to available resources. He also
noted the program was not
intended to duplicate any existing
service.

Keep a stiff upper lip. Your guidance is needed
at this time. Your ideas will make a difference.

Finances have taken a nose dive. Useful infor-
mation may help with a reversal but don’t de-
pend too heavily on it.

The past rears its ugly head and could cause a
problem with a present relationship. Beware of
mixing business with pleasure.

Do not spread yourself too thin. Learn to say
‘'no” at work. Be strict at home and try not to
overload your schedule.

Cutting expenses is mandatory at this time of
year. Learn to do certain tasks yourself. Ask for
help only when necessary.

A love triangle may cause difficuitles. Happily,

you are not involved. You may be blamed for
problems that are not your fault.

A good time to set goals, not just for 1992 but
tong term as well, Be creative and adventurous.
The funds will be there.

Social events are out of the question, now; stay
away from those who are too influential. The
tide turns financially.

Make plans for extended trip; good time to
evaluate possible career move; go ihe extra mile
for your own benefit.

Romantic partner will not see eye-to-eye with you
on important issues. Don’t be discouraged. Love
will prevail.

A crisis may develop within your domain that
will force you to confront one whom you have
not seen in years. Be wary.

Force yourself to become more active in com-
munity endeavors. Listen to member of opposite
sex’ he/she holds the key to your dilemma.
