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. TWO YEARS AGO THIS WEEK... 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 ~ tant A Se, ae yee Ea OG a ~crosswalks causing*the -most-con- _ ‘cern were the mid-block crosswalk meetings with the federal minister responsible for Canada Post. 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. SNOW PHONE 1-800-663-8300% Skier Services 635-3773 o~" This ad was designed by Mota Zylloz, Grade 5, Clarence Michie!
