MLA urges affordable transitANY PLAN to increase transit services connecting northwestern communities must ensure it is affordable for users, says Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin.
“That’s really No. 1,” said Austin in commenting on the provincial govern-ment’s commitment made last year to spend $3 million over the next three years to better connect communities
along Hwy16.Of that amount, up to
$1.6 million is to be spent over two years to either in-crease service on existing routes or on new ones.
That could mean, for ex-ample, more service along an existing BC Transit route connecting Kitamaat Vil-lage/Kitimat with Terrace or on new routes connecting Terrace with points east.
The key to success, how-ever, is ensuring there’s a level of subsidy that makes expanded or new services af-fordable, said Austin.
And that would follow along what already exists on the Lower Mainland and in other more populated areas, he said.
“Just because there’s a low population here doesn’t mean people are entitled
to the same rights as else-where,” said Austin.
That $1.6 million for more transit represents two-thirds of the operating costs of the increased service and 100 per cent of the capital costs of buses.
Overall, Austin was relatively satisfied with the broad provincial plan which includes establishing com-munity transportation ser-
vices and driver education programs in smaller First Nations communities, more webcams on highways and transit shelters and broaden-ing the use of existing ser-vices such as the Northern Health Authority’s medical bus service to other passen-ger classifications.
“This is going in the right direction but it’s something communities have been
asking for since 2006,” he noted.
The call for better trans-portation connections along Hwy16 began growing in response to the number of missing and murdered wom-en along the route and the need to provide alternatives to high risk activities such as hitchhiking.

THE CITY is aiming to leverage tax money from new construction to put forward a zero per cent tax hike for the second year in a row despite overall as-sessment values in the city dropping.
After their first budget meeting held a week be-fore Christmas, mayor Carol Leclerc says that the city’s finances looked like they could allow for an-other zero increase year.
“At that time, it didn’t look like we needed to raise taxes and we are hoping that we don’t have to. But it’s only our first meeting,” she said.
The zero tax increase is contained within city de-liberations after approving a provisional budget as it works toward a final document this spring.
Leclerc points to aspects of the city budget where costs are rising laid against the challenge of keeping taxes down.
One new spending item would see an additional RCMP officer assigned to the detachment as part of the city-financed complement.
“We want to bump up the RCMP a little bit be-cause we should be at 25 but we have been at 24 [members] just to bring us up to where we need to be. We have always shaved that off when we’ve been tight on dollars,” said Leclerc.
This additional RCMP officer would join the force halfway through this year.
Like last year, those whose properties experi-enced an average rise in assessed value will not see any increase in tax, but those whose houses came in over the assessed average or under will see a rise or fall in the amount of property tax they must pay.
The city’s provisional budget has money for new projects including a redesigned city website, a new sanitization system in the whirlpool at the aquatic centre and conducting a feasibility study leading to an anti-train whistling bylaw at the Frank St. rail crossing.

CITY COUNCIL wants to do more to stop the dangerous practice of people either crossing or otherwise congregating on CN’s tracks within the city.
Trespasssers, loiterersa hazard at the CN yardTHE CITY wants to work with CN Rail to keep people off the train tracks before someone gets killed.
The effort was prompted by a late November 2015 incident in which a container train was delayed for 45 minutes when several people wouldn’t get off the tracks. It happened east of George Little House after the recent unveiling of the hydraulic lift to help those with mobility issues get on the VIA Rail train.
City councillors Brian Down-ie and Lynne Christiansen were at the unveiling and provided de-tail at a subsequent council meet-ing.
East of George Little House by J&F Distributing was a group of people, probably intoxicated judging by their behaviour, im-peding the train by being on the tracks and not moving until po-lice arrived, said Downie during discussion at the council meeting.
He said police have confirmed they get regular calls to go down and get people off the tracks, said Downie.
“It’s totally ridiculous,” said Downie. “It’s unacceptable, par-ticularly if someone is on the tracks taunting the train.”
He said CN Police do enforce no trespassing regulations but aren’t in the Terrace area all of the time.
Downie said that council should get in touch with CN to talk about getting the railway company to put up a fence.
“It seems like we’re going to have an accident and somebody is going to get hit,” he said.
Fencing should be put down all the way to J&F, he added.
Downie made a motion to write CN and ask it to meet with the city to find solutions on the issue of people trespassing on the railway tracks. Councillor Lynne Christiansen seconded the mo-tion.
Councillor Stacey Tyers said she supported the motion as long as the city was not a financing partner in putting up any fences, it, saying it was CN’s job and fi-nancial responsibility to protect the tracks and keep the trains
running, and not the city’s. When contacted, CN official
Jim Feeny said he couldn’t com-ment on specifics of when CN officers are here for security rea-sons.
“British Columbia-based CN Police operate in the Terrace area as part of their coverage terri-tory,” he said.
“CN looks forward to work-ing with the City of Terrace on how to resolve trespassing is-sues,” he added, saying CN also appreciates its close working re-lationship with RCMP.
Terrace RCMP officer Const. Angela Rabut confirmed that po-lice have been called down to the train tracks to remove trespassers.
“The Terrace RCMP does get called occasionally when people are on the tracks,” she said. “Of-ten times we find them intoxi-cated. When people are under the influence of alcohol, their ability to make good decisions is usu-ally adversely affected. Not only are they trespassing, they are a danger to themselves and oth-ers.”
Police investigations conclude in 3 death casesTERRACE RCMP have forwarded charge informa-tion to government prosecutors in three investiga-tions involving deaths, two of which go back more than four years.
Crown counsel lawyers will now review the in-formation and make the final determination as to whether charges will be laid and against whom.
In the most recent, the death from a gunshot wound of a 15-year-old boy last February, the charges were criminal negligence causing death, careless storage of a firearm, and unauthorized possession of a firearm against a 47-year-old local man.
On February 10, 2015, police reported that af-ter being called to a residence on Molitor Street, they found a 15-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound and sent him to hospital by ambulance. He later succumbed to his injury.
A 16-year-old Terrace youth who was also at the residence was taken into police custody at that time.
In the death of Troy Mason, 25, on Dec. 31, 2011
at a Gitaus residence, police forwarded charges of manslaughter and obstructing justice on a 22-year-old man and manslaughter on a 26-year-old man to Crown Counsel for review.
On January 10, 2012, police reported that Ma-son’s death was being treated as suspicious.
And police have sent information on charges of second degree murder and manslaughter on a 36-year-old man after concluding their investiga-tion into the March 5, 2011 stabbing death of Aaron Wagner, then 28. He was found injured by police following an altercation at a party at a duplex on the 4600 Block of Loen. Wagner was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A person was taken into custody at the time but was released shortly thereafter.
Terrace RCMP Inspector Dana Hart commend-ed the investigators for their work. “Often in more serious investigations, there are processes that take time,” he said. “We also have a very dedicated team of investigators.”

In terms of specif-ics, Austin did wonder about the $500,000 to be spent on more high-way webcams and tran-sit shelters.
“If you’re going to have a shelter, then you better have a bus com-ing by,” he said.
As for webcams, transportation minis-try officials say using new technology will increase the frequency of each webcam to take still photos of vehicles and that police forces will be able to use the images as part of any ongoing investigation.
Currently, webcams take photos every 15 minutes.
Webcams will also be installed at common places where hitchhik-ers congregate.
Austin was emphatic that the Nisga’a of the Nass Valley must be in-cluded in any expansion of community transpor-tation services.
They were excluded from a key Novem-ber 2015 provincially-sponsored session held in Smithers to go over
transportation options.That’s because only
communities within 75km either north or south of the Hwy16 cor-ridor were invited to the session, something set out by the First Nations Health Authority which was a co-sponsor of the session.
But “that does not mean we will exclude certain communities from participating in the community vehicle funding program,” said a ministry follow up clarification.
Austin pointed out
that the Nisga’a villages in the Nass already have community buses which do provided limited ser-vice to Terrace.
“They already have the physical buses so what they would need is extra money for operat-ing expenses to main-tain the buses and for the cost of driving,” he said.
But just as is the case with transit expan-sion, community-based service will have to be cost-shared as well.
It means the province will pay for 70 per cent
of any new vehicle to a maximum of $70,000 and 70 per cent of the operating costs of any service to a maximum of $20,000 per year for the next three years.
A 10-person adviso-ry group meant to guide the province along in deciding who should get money and what servic-es should be established meets for the first time this month in Prince George. It is mostly made up of northern residents but its chair is a senior transportation ministry official.

Affordable transit urged
Poetto readA FORMER poet laure-ate of Victoria and writ-er-in-residence for the University of Northern British Columbia is in town this week to give readings and to conduct a writing workshop.
Janet Rogers says the role of any artist in so-ciety is to “witness and report in creative ways” on the world, and to not be limited by ideas of the right and wrong way to approach art.
“That was a fun three-year gig, to be an ambassador for a whole city for poetry,” Rogers says of being Victoria’s poet laureate.
One interesting theme she explores is First Nations sensual-ity, an aspect of life she says has been chal-lenged by the oppres-sion and social issues of the past.
Rogers reads at 1 p.m. today at UNBC and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the Terrace Pub-lic Library.
A workshop is planned for before the Jan. 14 reading, and those interested can sign up in advance at the library.

This and many more budget items, such as put-ting in a new carpet at the public gallery, are listed, however being provisional, some items can get axed or others added before the fi-nal budget comes out in the spring.
The city won’t know what the final tax rate is until that time either, when the fi-nal assessment numbers are released by BC Assessment pending all adjustments.
The actual predicted revenue shows a modest in-crease from last year with $21,110,206 for 2016 com-pared to $20,770,372 last year, though some of that comes from reserves.
The amount of money the city will take in from prop-erty tax is dropping slightly with $12,060,000 in 2016, down from $12,120,730 last year, however it is still up from previous years.
Leclerc says the tax rate freeze is possible because
again last year the city saw more houses built, the sec-ond big building year in a row.
“You get more money because you’ve got more houses,” said Leclerc of how the city gains from new con-struction.
Meanwhile, the amount the city plans on spend-ing, its total expenditures, is dropping slightly, going down by $1 million com-pared to last year—from $22,408,995 last year to $21,446,732 this year. The projected surplus has also dropped.
Budget information pro-vided by the city indicates it pays 70 per cent of the actu-al cost of an average RCMP officer’s salary and related expenses which works out to $118,000.
Money has also been in-cluded to study whether it would be advisable to ask CN to stop blasting its horn when passing the Frank St.
crossing.Now that there is a new
crossing installed in 2014, the need for signaling an approach, which is loud, might not be needed. A by-law could be put in place to ban such tooting of the horn, and thus lower the noise lev-el for nearby residents and pedestrians.
“The issue of the sound of the train horns sounding at level crossings has been raised by residents and pre-vious councils,” said city official Alisa Thompson. “Now that there are lights at the level crossing at Frank St. we want to investigate the feasibility of having an anti-whistling bylaw. This is regulated by Transport Canada and CN has to be in-volved in the process.”
To this end, the city has put aside $15,000 for such a study. Following this, an engineering study will also have to be done, if the bylaw is deemed feasible.
Other budget items in-clude the resurfacing of the tennis courts on Halliwell Ave. and building a new trail behind the Kitsumgal-lum Pioneer Cemetery lo-cated at the top of Kalum Lake Drive/Hwy113.
“Money has been set aside to cut out a trail in this area. An old trail exists but it has eroded away and ends at the bottom of the hill,” said city recreation services official Carmen Didier.
“The new plan follows the old trail and then loops back up to Kalum Lake Road. Plans have not been determined on this project.
A new filtration system is also being installed in the whirlpool at the aquatic centre to reduce the amount of chlorine needed for disin-fectant.
It will use ultraviolet rays and such systems are common in other pools and bathers notice water quality improvements, said Didier.
AVERAGE HOUSE values here have dropped by two per cent, indicates information released by the BC As-sessment Authority as it sent out thousands of assess-ment notices this month.
The drop – in dollar terms the average house assess-ment is now $309,000 compared to $316,000 last year – is in contrast to last year when assessments rose by averages in excess of 30 per cent, driven by the winds of an anticipated liquefied natural gas (LNG) bonanza in the region that has yet to emerge.
That increase in 2015 was based on a July 1, 2014 value snapshot taken by the assessment authority at the height of LNG expectations while this year’s value snapshot of July 1, 2015 was at a time when expecta-tions were starting to dampen.
“Everybody was talking about LNG, everybody was just excited. And everything went crazy. Prices went up to where they shouldn’t have been,” says Ter-race Real Estate agency broker and owner Shannon McAllister of the housing price rise. She said it peaked between mid-2013 and summer 2014.
Still, McAllister said the new assessments reflect the fact that 2015 continued to be a decent year for real estate sales.
Totals released by the BC Northern Real Estate Board show that 153 single family homes sold last year compared to 177 in 2014 through the Multiple Listing Service.
The BC Assessment Office looked at 2,762 single family dwellings just in Terrace and 2,750 the year be-fore, showing 12 new homes were assessed.
McAllister did caution that assessments are used by local governments to determine tax rates rather than the real estate value of a home.
“Assessments are not market value, there are sort of producing the values based on values of sales around July 2015, so with now the market hitting spring, what is going to happen in the next few months really has no reflection on what happened in the spring of last year,” she said.
When buying or selling it is best to go on the ap-praised value, she added. And if you think that BC As-sessment valued your home too low, this might be a good thing because it means less taxation than what would otherwise have been the case.
Last year, Kitimat and Terrace were ranked one and two overall in assessed value increase in the prov-ince, but this year Kitimat’s average home value also dropped—12 per cent on average from $331,000 to $291,000.
Two north coast municipalities on the other hand, Prince Rupert and Stewart, both saw rises in their aver-age home value.
Prince Rupert experienced a jump, possibly owing to ongoing port expansion with an 11 per cent jump from $223,000 to $251,000 average assessed value for single family dwellings.
That followed an increase of 18 per cent the year before.
Stewart, where a large commercial dock facil-ity opened this summer, saw a jump from $86,000 to $97,000 – a 13 per cent increase.
BC Assessment also released a list of the most valu-able residential properties in the province.
Five residences in the area made it into the top 100 and all are located out at Lakelse Lake with the top one worth $1,354,000 for 33rd on the list.
Broken down by neighbourhood, in the Bench area of Terrace the average value of a home was determined to be $387,000; in the Horseshoe the average value was $283,000; in the Southside $262,000. In the core of Thornhill the average assessed value was $240,000 and on the Bench of Thornhill it was $302,000.
Major industrial property saw a rise of 26.9 per cent with the total value for this assessment coming in at $8,737,000 compared to $6,886,900 for 2014.
Light industrial saw an increase in 43.9 per cent, up to $13,087,400 compared to $9,097,700 the year before.
The total value for businesses increased 8.4 per cent, from $386,161,501 in 2015 to $418,678,900 this year, a change in value of over $32 million.

THE NUMBER of homes sold in the area dropped last year compared to 2014 but average prices increased, says a report from the BC Northern Real Estate Board.
According to the report, the average selling price of a total of 153 homes sold in Terrace in 2015 was
$308,436.This is slightly up from
2014, when 177 homes sold at an average price of $302,046.
In 2013, 219 homes sold at an average price of $251,477.
Taken at a median value, of the 153 single family
homes sold in 2015 in Ter-race, half sold for less than $307,000.
The overall value of Terrace property sales de-creased compared to last year, however: in terms of all the land, manufactured and other homes that sold in 2015 which totaled 271
properties changing hands, they were collectively worth $70 million, compared with 2014’s 351 total properties worth $87.3 million.
Meanwhile, Kitimat saw a drop in average sell-ing price, from $318,046 (78 homes sold) in 2014 to $298,624 (82 sold) in 2015.
Average selling price rose

A6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, January 13, 2016 Terrace Standard
Each month I pay for a Telus plan that al-lows me two hours of long distance
calls anywhere in Canada.Yet some months I may
use less than 15 minutes of my allotted time. Not that I’m antisocial or rarely speak to anyone by phone. Far from it. Family with more in-clusive bundles call me.
Those with bundles fre-quently call and we can chat for an hour or more, catching up on our families’ doings, everyone’s health, books we’re reading, movies we’ve seen or plan to, TV shows worth recommending.
We all enjoy different in-terests from restoring furni-ture to jamming musically with friends, gardening or quilting depending upon the season, travelling, and com-munity volunteering.
Often our conversations fall into reminiscing about our childhoods, compar-ing our differing memories of routine pastimes such as boardgames we played dur-ing stormy months when we were school age.
Once we graduated we dispersed in all directions, married, raised families, and so have years to ll in when
we scarcely knew what each was doing beyond a Christ-mas letter.
Since emailing became available, we frequently ex-change short notes, or trade snippets of newspaper arti-cles with a cogent comment.
Some siblings pick up on the article and expound on their thoughts. That works well for staying up-to-date, except for one brother noted in our family for his brief an-swers.
The composer of pillow warning labels could have learned a thing or two about brevity from him.
If I ask him a question I must make it open-ended
such as an investigative re-porter would use, preceding the question with how or why or when, not a question he can answer with a yes or a no or he will do just that.
Following the October election, I emailed him to ask, “Who is your MP now?” He replied, “Same”. He left me to google his area to learn his MP’s name.
My modest Telus plan serves my needs. The plan feature I prize highest is Caller I.D.
With that I can avoid calls from telemarketers, research pollsters, and scammers or any other number I don’t rec-ognize until I can rst google its originator.
Yet Telus never tires of trying to upgrade me to a plan that would offer me many more hours each month, hours that I would never use based on my cur-rent usage.
My plan also tallies the minutes I’m on a call, a fea-ture both valuable and frus-trating.
It’s valuable for clocking the length of welcome calls; frustrating when it shows me minutes I’m wasting holding for some company clerk to return from vacation, check
company records and get back to me if I’ve disputed some transaction with them.
One of my 2016 resolu-tions is to use up more of my prepaid minutes.
I intend to do this by phon-ing for more details about news articles that leave me with questions. For instance, an article yesterday quoted a goat farmer who says we shouldn’t chip Christmas trees into mulch.
Instead once the trees have been stripped of all tin-sel and other decorations we should feed them to goats or offer them to elk.
Wild animal refuges also welcome Christmas trees. He says his goats look upon pine trees as a treat, will strip a tree bare of needles and bark in a day. I take it the goats will leave the larger branch-es and the main tree trunk. So how does he dispose of those? Saw it up for next winter’s rewood? Or dump the whole tree on crown land when he thinks no one is looking?
An insigni cant detail, perhaps, but I have the pre-paid minutes to seek the an-swer.

LOCAL residents would do well to contemplate the provincial govern-ment’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel on the Lower Mainland.
At an estimated cost of $3.5 bil-lion, the plan to span the Fraser Riv-er with a 10-lane bridge stands to be the most ambitious single public sec-tor project in the province’s history.
More startling is that this works out to $1,400 for each of the 2.5 million people living on the Lower Mainland.
And this is where locals should take notice because it raises the is-sue of equality of public spending for the overall public good.
This is not to argue that a Massey Tunnel replacement isn’t needed. But there is an argument to be made that if the provincial government wants to spend $1,400 for each Lower Mainland resident, it should rightly do the same up here for trans-portation infrastructure.
Consider that there are approxi-mately 15,000 people living in Terrace and area. Multiply that by $1,400 and the total is $21 million.
What could that do to pay for a proper walking and cycling trail to connect Thornhill with Terrace across the old bridge or even the new ones? How many metres of sidewalk within both communities might be built? Or, dare we suggest, could this be spent on a second overpass?
All this might sound naive to some, but it shouldn’t stop local elected of cials from making a rm point about equal treatment.
EDITORIAL
The Mail Bag
Closed meeting reasoning falls short
Terrace Standard Wednesday, January 13, 2016 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
G U E S T C O M M E N T
ANDRE CARREL
The Terrace Standard editorial of December 16, 2015) was critical of city council’s decision
to discuss its decision to strike a friendship agreement with the Qinhuangdao, China local gov-ernment, behind closed doors.
I agreed with the editorial and was particularly disturbed by the explanations given by a council member to readers commenting on the editorial on the newspa-per’s web page.
In response to one reader’s question asking “What are they hiding!!” the councillor ex-plained “that council does not de-cide what is or isn’t public, those decisions are made by staff based on the [Community] charter.”
This explanation is as disturb-ing as the closed meeting itself.
The guiding principle for council meetings is that they “must be open to the public, ex-cept as provided in this Division” [sec. 89(1)]. The Charter lists five subjects where “a council meet-ing must be closed to the public” [sec. 90(2)]. A friendly exchange
agreement with a foreign mu-nicipality does not fall within the range of these five subjects.
The Charter specifies fifteen subjects for which council may, at its discretion, close a meeting to the public [sec. 90(1)]. The de-cision to make use of that power and close a council meeting to the public is not made by staff; it can only be made by council. The procedure is standard for mu-nicipal councils throughout the province. An example is found in Terrace Council Minutes of Nov. 9/15, resolution #428:
“MOVED/SECONDED to move In-Camera and close the meeting to the public pursuant to Division 3, Sections 90(1) (a) & (k) of the Community Charter (to discuss matters relating to per-sonnel and negotiations for Mu-nicipal services). Carried Unani-mously.”
This resolution identifies the Community Charter sections which allow council to exclude the public from the meeting, and it describes the nature of the sub-jects to be considered. The In-
Camera resolution is worded in that manner because the Commu-nity Charter’s guiding principle declares that council is “demo-cratically elected, autonomous, responsible, and accountable” [sec. 1(1)(a)]. Two councillors (mover and seconder) proposed, in an open meeting and for the re-cord, that council exercise its op-tion to meet behind closed doors as authorized by the Charter “to
discuss matters relating to per-sonnel and negotiations for Mu-nicipal services.” Council adopt-ed the motion by unanimous vote and proceeded accordingly. Staff recorded the proceedings.
After council has dealt with a matter In-Camera, the decision is reported to an open meeting. An example of that step is found in Terrace Council Minutes of Dec. 14/15, resolution #485:
“MOVED/SECONDED that the December 9, 2015, In-Cam-era Finance, Personnel and Ad-ministration Component of the Committee of the Whole Report be adopted with the following recommendation....” Then they present the recommendation in detail.
There is nothing apparent in the Qinhuangdao friendship agreement requiring an in camera meeting.
The minutes of council’s No-vember 30, 2015 meeting did include this sentence: “Mayor Leclerc reported on the signing of the Friendly Exchange Agree-ment with Qinhuangdao, China.”
A review of Terrace Coun-cil meeting minutes makes it abundantly clear that everyone at City Hall, council and staff, knows how to conduct and record closed meetings and the deci-sions arising from such meetings. The councillor’s initial response to a Terrace Standard reader’s comment (that council does not decide what is or isn’t public) is nonsense. As if that was not enough yet, this councillor pro-ceeded to further muddy the wa-ters with a response to a second reader’s comment, expanding on his initial flummery with a refer-ence to Charter “section 90(n)” (sic) which bears no relevance to the issue raised in the editorial or the two readers’ comments.
The Qinhuangdao meeting where the friendly exchange agreement was signed was a so-cial gathering, amounting to little more than a public relations puff. Why pretend otherwise? Why mislead citizens?

Dear Sir:Just recently I lis-
tened to a retired veteri-narian speak about the situation here last year when a little dog was abandoned in Terrace.
The veterinarian ex-plained that the dog’s owner more than likely could not afford the fee to euthanize his pet, meaning the owner had to resort to an unfortu-nate act.
I also have been in a similar situation where a pet of mine needed to be put down.
My old lab was hav-ing difficulty walking, was beginning to have seizures and was losing her ability to hold flu-ids. I’ve had this dog for going on 15 years. She was part of the family and my best friend.
I approached all three of the local vet-erinarians about having my dog euthanized and was extremely disap-pointed with their reac-tions as to how it would be done.
None of the respons-es were satisfactory.
And when the time fi-nally came for my dog to be euthanized, one told me that they were backed up and I would have to wait a week.
In the meantime my dog was having mul-tiple seizures, three in one day.
So one morning I
lifted up my dog and put her into the van, drove out into the bush and shot her. I’ve hunted over 40 years and this was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
Now I am not say-ing all veterinarians are evil, but I do think the veterinary profession
needs to set in place procedures and policies so that when a pet needs to be euthanized it can be done quickly, com-passionately and with-out needless fees and prolonged waiting.
David Miller,Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir:When you look at
Environment Canada’s weather forecast it will give you the atmospher-ic pressure in units of kPa (kilo Pascal).
What does this have to do with the ques-tion of God’s exis-tence? This physical unit of pressure was named in honor of the Physicist/Mathemati-cian/Inventor Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).
He obviously was a very intelligent individ-ual and part of his work dealt with the Math-ematics of probability.
Pascal was also a Christian Apologet-ic. By the way to apolo-gize originally does not mean “I am sorry,” but rather to defend.
Pascal formed a very thoughtful and practical argument for faith: The Pascal’s Wager.
In simple words it goes as follows: Either God exists or he does
not. It is black or white or like a coin toss, heads or tails.
So what if the atheist is right? Both the athe-ist and the theist die and the game is over, no dif-ference between them.
What if the theist is right? The atheist with all likelihood will not go to heaven and hope-fully the theist who lived out his faith will go to eternal life.
What is the disad-vantage for the athe-ist? It is obvious, he might go to hell.
We don’t really know what hell is but it does not seem to be a pleasant destination.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God ex-ists and seek to believe in God.
If God does not actu-ally exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc. in his short earthly life), whereas
they stand to receive infinite gains (eternity in heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in hell).
Of course in our time and place there are far more agnostics (people who don’t care about the issue) than solid, self-convinced atheists.
Where do the ag-nostics fit into the wa-ger? As far as I know, Pascal did not say much about them.
But common sense tells me that as a think-ing member of our spe-cies aptly named Homo sapiens (wise human) one should not ignore such a question.
It is like the igno-rance of the infamous ostrich who sticks his head in the sand when facing danger. One thing is sure, some might get away with not paying taxes but no one has escaped death.
Is it a coin tossas to certaintythat God exists?

Unless self-inflicted or accidental most of us will die quite unhealthily. That may sound like a weird statement but again it is true that healthy people don’t just die.
So believing in a pleasant eternal afterlife is a comforting principle when dealing with declining health and facing death – if it is true.
And there we have another reason to investigate the 50/50 issue of make-believe or truth.
That does not sound very uplifting for the new year, but it is the truth and something to think about. I bet (pun intended) that many people would agree.
That fact alone might prompt an interest to in-vestigate the issue a little bit more. Happy New Year and health to all.
John Krisinger, Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir:Dr. John Krisinger’s Dec. 23, 2015 letter to the
editor asserts the existence of a God through au-thorities capable enough, but they all work from an unsustainable paradigm.
Without physical evidence, all phenomena re-main hypothetical. For example, love is hypotheti-cal and more emotional than another, justice. Infer-ences, they lack innate description and have only our definition.
God is such: our conception, even if our most profound. Such metaphysical conceptions comple-ment the physical to create reality. In either case, we invent, by our mind and by our senses.
To help conceive of how we made God, see the recent paradigm-shifting book by French Bibli-cal scholar Dr. Thomas Romer, “The Invention of God” (2014; English trans. 2015). How we justify the invention determines our ethics.
To insist that we did not make God, and that we continue that making, evokes the mission to the pa-gans.
By the way, the headline on my letter to which Dr. Krisinger refers in his response was invented by the editor.
Dr. David Heinimann, Terrace, B.C.
THE COAST Mountains School District is moving toward a policy shift to allow alcohol sales at public events held at the REM Lee Theatre in Terrace and at the Mount Eliza-beth Theatre which is located in Kitimat.
The move was initiated by the theatre coordinators at both facilities to accommo-date various user group requests, and went through the first reading by school trustees at their December 2015 meeting.
If approved, the change “enables us to rent our theatres to organizations who wish to serve alcoholic beverages during intermis-sions,” said secretary treasurer Alanna Cam-eron. The policy would be in place for all adult-sanctioned events, not school district events, and would result in additional outside revenues for the school district, she said.
The amended policy proposal is being cir-culated to the groups that the school district works with for their responses. Those re-sponses will then be reviewed and returned to the trustees for discussion, final reading and then a vote to adopt or not.
Cameron said a policy permitting alco-hol sales could take hold as early as March of this year. The board has given approval to some events to serve alcohol in the past on a case-by-case basis, Cameron says, but if the amendment goes ahead, they will no longer need to give that approval each time.
Board approval is needed now because prior to Dec. 2013, theatres were included in board’s policy on community use of facilities and grounds, which said no alcohol could be used on any school site.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
to everyone from all of us at the
TERRACE REAL ESTATE
COMPANY LTD.
WITH $9,400 provid-ed to five community groups in its first round of distributions earlier this year, the Terrace Community Foundation is taking applications for a second round.
Formed by the City of Terrace in 2011 as a way to support local projects, the founda-tion uses interest earned from its capital base for that purpose.
It has taken several years for the foundation to earn enough money from its capital base to begin regular distribu-tions and drew on the support of the Minerals North conference here in 2013 for the initial distribution, says foun-dation chair Joyce Gib-
son.“Minerals North
2013 offered us Trevor Linden when he came for the conference and he agreed to stay an extra day so we had an event [at the REM Lee Theatre] and sold tick-ets and did really well,” Gibson explained.
“And the speakers at Minerals North all agreed to donate their honorariums to the foundation as well.”
To date the founda-tion has a capital base of nearly $377,000 with $50,000 of that coming as seed money from the City of Terrace which was matched by the Northern Development Initiative Trust.
Other donors include
BC Hydro, Chances Terrace, the city-owned Terrace Community Forest, and LNG Can-ada, which is one of two liquefied natural gas projects planned for Kitimat and Trans-Canada Pipeline, which would build the pipeline to feed LNG Canada.
The foundation’s capital base was sig-nificantly boosted in the spring when it received $10,000 from Shell, a major partner in LNG Canada, and an ad-ditional $60,000 from LNG Canada itself.
“That was quite a surprise. We had invited them to attend our first distribution. They not only came but they then made the announce-
ments,” said Gibson.For now the commu-
nity foundation’s assets are handled and invested through an agreement with the Prince George Foundation which also handles the assets of six
other smaller northern B.C. community foun-dations.
Distribution deci-sions remain with the local foundation but having its assets man-aged by a larger founda-tion maximizes interest earned and reduces ex-penses, explained Gib-son.
“They have a paid person which we could not afford on our own,” said Gibson.
With its call for sec-ond round applications, the foundation is also encouraging people and companies to consider donations to its own en-dowment fund, she said.
“But we also take do-nations which we will hold in trust and ones
from businesses or peo-ple who have a specific purpose in mind which we will distribute right away,” said Gibson.
As an example of the former, Gibson gave monies raised by a group some years ago who wanted to purchase a rubberized track at Skeena Middle School.
The money will gain interest over the years until it reaches the goal, Gibson added.
The foundation will help finance the pur-chase of assets but does not provide grants for salaries, travel, training and the like.
The five groups re-ceiving money in the first distribution round were:
* The Terrace Salm-onoid Enhancement So-ciety, $2,000 for plexi-glass replacement and printing of promotional materials.
* Kimmunity An-gels Society, $1,500 for computer purchase to support the work of the society.
* Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club, $2,400 for floor mats.
* Helping Hands, $2,500 to go toward purchase of a large stor-age container for recy-cling operation.
* Terrace Downtown Improvement Area, $1,000 to support cost of Festival of Lights.
Information is avail-able at TerraceCommu nityFoundation.com.

CITY COUNCIL has agreed to the River Kings request for finan-cial support to offset the cost of ice rental for the provincial senior men’s AA Coy Cup cham-pionships which the hockey team is hosting at the end of March.
Club representative Ross Smith told coun-cil the last time the city hosted the Coy Cup was 2009 when Terrace was Hockeyville.
The River Kings fin-ished in second place last spring in Fort Nel-
son and are hoping to win this year, he said.
As the host team, the River Kings have an automatic entry into the bid for this year’s championship which will feature four teams in all.
The benefit to the city would be rented hotel rooms, about 60 for five nights and that is only counting the teams, plus the expo-sure for the city, said Smith.
Mayor Carol Leclerc asked Smith if the fee
was waived in 2009 to which Smith replied no.
Admission fees for the tournament which is to be held March 22-26 would be charged at $10 for adults and $5 for kids for each game.
The River Kings are looking for rental of the main arena and the Sportsplex meeting room, said Smith.
Leclerc asked if the team did fundraising to pay for its trip to Fort Nelson for the tour-nament last year and Smith said it did a little
bit but mostly had com-munity sponsors who paid the team’s way.
The team is lining up sponsors for the tourna-ment, he said.
With four teams of 25 players each plus coaches, six to eight referees, and a couple of BC Hockey officials plus families, there will be many people coming here, Smith added.
When it came time to vote, councillor Brian Downie said he would put forward a motion to support the River Kings
in their request to waive ice fees for the Coy Cup tournament and James Cordeiro seconded it.
Downie said he was in favour because he took the position it was good to support the teams.
“I don’t think tax-payers should [have the] burden of costs when the team is charging for admission,” councillor Stacey Tyers comment-ed during debate on the request.
Cordeiro said it would be different if the
team was charging $40 a seat but $5 and $10 was a nominal rate.
Councillor Michael Prevost said he would be in favour of the waiv-er if a block of tickets were put aside for peo-ple who can’t afford the tickets but want to go to the games. Tyers said she would support that.
Council voted unani-mously in favour of a motion to waive the ice fees as long as the River Kings provided 25 free tickets to those who wanted to attend
the games but couldn’t afford it.
City paves way for Coy Cup hosting

Local lawyer receives top designationA TERRACE legal aid lawyer has been ap-pointed the honourary title of Queen’s Counsel (QC).
Judith Irene Frances Kenacan is one of 39 lawyers to receive the designation announced by BC minister of jus-tice and BC attorney general Suzanne Anton in late December.
The honour of a QC designation is conferred each year on members of the legal profession to recognize exception-al merit and contribu-tion.
Kenacan joined the Legal Services Society in 1987 and has pro-vided publicly-financed legal services in Burns Lake, Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Kelowna and Terrace, where she has been managing law-yer at the regional of-fice since 2002, said the government in a release.
Kenacan takes on cases that are compli-cated and involve vo-luminous disclosure, experts and reports, continued the release.
She is committed to mentoring lawyers in
the communities where she practices, it contin-ued.
The call for QC nominations was made in October 2015. An
advisory committee reviewed applications and recommended can-didates to the attorney general.
The appointments
were made by cabinet through order-in-council.
Successful candi-dates have been mem-bers of the B.C. bar for at least five years and
have been nominated by their peers.
Appointees are from throughout British Co-lumbia and run the gamut of legal practice.
Included are lawyers who specialize in First Nations law, criminal law, commercial litiga-tion, family law and mediation.
The appointees are advocates for continuing legal education, commu-nity volunteerism and mentorship of new legal professionals.
A MAN who pleaded guilty to lesser charges than he was initially charged with will spend four months in jail.
Edward Joseph Flett was sentenced to 210 days in jail after plead-ing guilty to one count of possession for the purpose of traffick-ing in 2015 but he was left with a 129 day jail sentence after he was granted credit for time served of 81 days.
He also pleaded guilty to another count of possession for the purpose of trafficking from 2014 and was sen-tenced to 90 days to run concurrently.
The initial charges for both had been traf-ficking.
On the Terrace RCMP daily press re-lease for July 23, 2014, it was reported that a 39-year-old man was arrested for possession for the purpose of traf-ficking cocaine.
Flett was ordered to pay $200 in victim fine surcharges, not to possess firearms for 10 years, and must give a DNA sample to police.

A THORNHILL school class held a pre-Christ-mas bake sale and raf-fle, raising $607.40 for the local Terrace Spon-sors Syrian Refugee Families group.
The effort on the part of Donna Rivet’s Thornhill Elementary School’s Grade 6 class is the first of any class in the area to aid the group, says one of its members, Greer Kaiser.
“According to Donna [Rivet], it was a perfect fit to give the money to the fund as part of the Grade 6 curriculum em-phasizes compassion, kindness and civic duty, on a local, provincial or global level,” said Kaiser.
The Terrace Spon-sors Syrian Refugee Families group is rais-ing $27,000, some of which is for the imme-diate expenses of a fam-ily and the remainder to support it for a year.
A smaller group, called the Group of 5 in the terminology used by the federal government, is the official sponsor of a family and is now go-ing through the needed paperwork to accept a family.
As well, more than $4,500 was raised by the larger group at a Dec. 12 spaghetti sup-per held at Knox United Church and attended by at least 200 people.
“Many tickets were purchased to be donated to people who other-wise could not afford
the dinner. I would say we had about 20 people come and enjoy the din-ner from that angle,” said Kaiser.
“Two of our commit-tee took about 15 meals out after the dinner was over and handed out warm meals to people in need.”
Two shelters were the beneficiary of ad-ditional food that had been frozen, Kaiser added.
“It was very much a community event – not just a fundraiser for the Syrian refugee account, but also a community
of people coming to-gether to make the eve-ning brighter for a few of our people in need,” she said.

THE FORCE will certainly be with Terrace’s New Year’s baby thanks to an inventive name.
Jedi Phillip Angelo was born at 8:26 p.m. Jan. 2, weighing 8 lbs 14 oz to par-ents Phyllis Wells and Justin Squires.
He has two older brothers, whose names also begin with the letter “J”.
“I was originally going to go with Luke but his dad really liked the J names,” said Phyllis.
“His (dad’s) brothers all have J names and our two boys have J names. We wanted something unique that no one else had.”
She added that her dad is also a huge Star Wars fan.
Jedi’s middle names are after other relatives: Phillip is after his great-grandmother Phyllis, same as his mom, and Angelo is after Jedi’s older sister Angelina, who passed away.
Jedi was expected to be born Jan. 16.
In the province, the rst baby of the new year was a boy in Surrey Jan. 1 at 12:15 a.m.
The rst baby born in the north was a girl in Prince George at Jan. 1 at 1:25 a.m.
For those who aren’t familiar with the Star Wars movies, “jedi” is a term used for the men ghting against the evil empire who wants to take over and rule. Luke is the main protagonist.
New Year’s baby gets Star Wars moniker
A GOOD-SIZED group of diehards braved the freezing temperatures to take their turn at a plunge in Lakelse Lake at the 25th Kinsmen Kermodei Bear Swim.
“I think we had about a dozen brave souls,” said kinsman Bryan Crampton.
“The weather was amazing; cold but clear and no wind. Could not have asked for more.”
That included Craig Dun eld, who was raising money for the Terrace Northmen Rugby team, and who took a stuffed RBC mascot named Arbie into the water with him.
Dun eld, who works at RBC, wore his rugby uniform.
The event also raised money for other local groups: Caledonia Basket-ball and Scouting and Ventures.
The fundraiser was open to any-one who wanted to raise $50 in pledges.
The jump took place at the Kin Kamp and included Terrace Search and Rescue members who were in the lake themselves making sure ev-eryone who jumped in could get out safely and be on hand in case of any medical issues.
The kinsmen also drew their Third Annual Travelers Choice Raf e for a chance to win $10,000 in credit at ei-ther of the two travel agents: Elan or Uniglobe. C. Bohn of Terrace won.

VOLUNTEER TERRACE is looking for tax preparers to help people on modest incomes or xed incomes do their taxes.
The number of tax preparers has dwindled down to one person, who can’t do it alone, says Volunteer Terrace inter-im executive director Tracey Davidson.
And the number of people who go to the Happy Gang to get their taxes done for free has grown.
“We hate to see the program go away completely,” said Davidson.
“If we even had two more tax prepar-ers, that would be ideal.”
The program is Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) Community Volun-teer Income Tax Program which helps people with modest-incomes or on xed incomes whose nancial situation is un-changed year to year.
Individuals who choose to be a tax preparer must work with their local com-munity organization and have a basic un-derstanding of income tax.
Tax preparation is done in March and April but volunteers have to register on the CRA website rst and then come for free training, which starts this week.
Anyone who is interested can call Volunteer Terrace and ask to talk to someone about being a tax preparer at 250-638-1330.

Half the year dark, half the year light with the solstices of winter and summer. Half my life in the centre of Can-
ada (well, 96 degrees 68 minutes, when the real east-west centre is just up the TransCanada Highway, at 96 degrees, 38 minutes and 45 seconds) and half my life near the sea, northcoast Terrace or east coast Halifax.
The rain that falls to the west of the Rockies rushes into the Pacific, the rain to the east meanders its way to the At-lantic.
My first 28 years, living in Manitoba, time ticked by so slowly. In kindergar-ten, I couldn’t wait the 10 minutes of “quiet time” and blurted to Carol that the bug she was asking about was called a mosquito. And winters were long, but so were summers, and Christmas almost never came, or my birthday.
In Grade 2, it took forever for the school day to be done, especially if there was a birthday party scheduled for after four, or even better, a Tom Thumb wed-ding. Darlene and Curtis, both of whom had one blue eye and one brown eye, were mock-married and there was cake with coins in foil in it. I got a nickel.
Grade 5 was the longest year. My best friend since Grade 3, Celia, started hanging out with Kathy and Bev, and they all wanted to have boyfriends, which was so e-yew. So I hung out with Sharon instead, and we read comic books.
In junior high, I was embarrassed. I would turn beet-red at the smallest in-cident and feel the burn climb up my neck and into my face, to stay there for hours. I was embarrassed by any com-
ment about my appearance, positive or negative. I was embarrassed if a teacher called on me in the classroom or spoke to me in the hallway. I was embarrassed about my parents’ very existence.
I couldn’t wait to get to high school then I couldn’t wait to get to university then I couldn’t wait to get out. It all took a very long time. It took ages to find an apartment, then a new roommate, then a job, then a better job, but still the work-ing days dragged until closing time.
After 28 years not married to Dave, it is now 28 years married to Dave. We lived in a rented condo in Gimli, Mani-toba for a few months, or maybe a few minutes. Things sped up considerably.
I worked at the Terrace Review very quickly until it closed. An instant before that, I worked briskly at the
Atlantic magazine in Halifax until it closed. (Want to close down a vener-able publication in a hurry? Hire Char now!)
We bought a little house in deepest darkest Horseshoe, and when we had to get the washing machine repaired, we were appalled. “Why, that’s brand new!” we exclaimed, not taking the time to note its 15 years of constant, reassur-ing chug-a-chug, chug-a chug.
The long drive east then west on the Yellowhead to visit family with the kidling many years ago many times is a small blip in time, except for playing “I Spy” between anywhere and Prince George in the winter. “Something the colour grey.” A rock? No. A tree? No. The sky? Yes! Your turn mom! That 100-km stretch takes one week.
When the kid was three months old, he had colic for 10 years, then five min-utes later I looked up to him to say, “Put on a jacket, it’s cold out,” and he looked down to me to say, in a deep voice, “No.” And he somehow turned 21 this month when it was the same clear cold sunny day he was born.
Then a short gig at the Women’s Centre and the college and a few other places and I’m astonished I have accu-mulated over 20 years local work expe-rience even though I am new here.
Now, I’m 56 Up, like the British documentary series following the same group of children every seven years. Re-views of this latest instalment conclude the kids are “surprisingly” upbeat, hav-ing grown wiser, and they are pleased with the way things are turning out. Here’s looking forward to another sol-stice.

Searchers buy underwater deviceTERRACE SEARCH and Rescue (SAR) welcomed its new un-derwater device that can help members look around bodies of water down to depths of 300m (1,000 ft).
Four SAR team members recently par-ticipated in a two-day training session at Seamor Marine Ltd. in Nanaimo, B.C. before taking possession of the Remotely Operated Ve-hicle (ROV).
Seamor Marine has a well-earned reputation as the progressive de-signer and manufactur-er of the subsea Seamor family of Observation/Inspection-class Re-motely Operated Ve-hicles, and related mod-ular accessories and devices.
The four Seamor trained members now train other SAR mem-bers how to operate the ROV.
Pool training ses-sions allow team mem-bers to become familiar with the controls, setup and take down of the system.
During a pool ses-
sion in Terrace, team members navigated the ROV through an obsta-cle course and manipu-lated the gripper to pick up items off the pool bottom.
It is equipped with a high resolution colour zoom camera, lights that tilt with the camera, a rear looking camera, gripper and/or cutter.
The complete sys-tem is transported in four pelican watertight boxes.
The complete cost of the unit plus the on-board SONAR was $82,352.
The Terrace Rotary Club donated $10,000 towards the SONAR.
Trans Canada do-nated $15,000 towards the ROV; the remaining $57,352 was contribut-ed by Terrace SAR.
Seamor Marine also gave the team a 10 per cent discount, which was greatly appreciated.
The Terrace SAR funds represented years of savings for the non-profit team.
The team has one final goal to complete their underwater search
and rescue program: it needs to purchase a tow fish type SONAR which is required to search large areas underwater.
The tow fish will also be able to search depths further than the team’s current ability of 150 feet.
The towfish can search depths greater than 300 feet.
The members hope to raise the funds be-fore summer so they can continue search ef-forts in B.C. A tow fish
type SONAR cost be-tween $20,000-40,000 depending on which model the team chooses to purchase.

Sunny slopes boost Shames recoveryBy JACKIE LIEUWEN
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, lots of sparkling powder and earlier opening boosted Shames Moun-tain revenue to catch up after a slow pre-season.
“Things on the mountain were fantastic over the holidays,” said Christian Théberge, general man-ager of My Mountain Co-op, the non-pro t which runs Shames.
“With the inversion we had, it was warmer up on the moun-tain than in town 5-10 degrees at times. It was sunny with no wind, [and] full parking lots,” he said.
Despite the activity, the holi-days did not put the ski hill ahead economically, rather it caught them up after a slow pre-season, down $100,000 or 10 per cent of the usual revenue. The ski hill typically generates one third of its annual income in the pre-sea-son through corporate and season passes, ticket books, and gift cer-ti cates.
“I think a lot of people that did not buy passes because of last season’s conditions and this sum-mer’s El Nino and no-snow fore-casts, decided to buy passes when they saw the winter starting, so good,” said Théberge. “We’re just caught up to where we should be.”
Due to earlier snowfall, Shames Mountain was able to open 10 days earlier than last sea-
son, and had ve more operating days.
New Year’s Day, with free passes and admission via food donations, drew up to 600 people and generated two truck loads of non-perishables to re-stock the food bank’s shelves following Christmas.
Shames’ slopes boast about 1.5 metres of snow at mid-moun-tain, and cold temperatures are keeping the snow at that level, despite clear skies and sunshine.
The renovated kitchen is also a huge success, cutting wait times by more than half, increas-ing production and improving conditions for kitchen staff, who now have space to prepare food during the day, cutting down their long work days by two to six hours.
“I would have never thought it would have worked out this well…Huge thanks to everybody involved,” said Théberge.
The new seats on the chair lift also boost comfort for those on the hill, and people are very ap-preciative, he said.
“We’re no longer worrying about major things that have to be xed, we’re now turning our attention to details, which is beautiful,” he said. “I don’t know how this could have happened without the help of all the volun-teers.”
Club gliding towards record membershipBy JACKIE LIEUWEN
PEOPLE FLOCKED to the Onion Lake cross country ski trails over the holidays, and the club is pre-dicting record membership, with more than 60 new regular members and jackrabbits already boasting a new record.
“We’ve probably had the best Christmas we’ve had since anyone can really remember,” said Dan McElheron, president of the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club.
“The amount of traf c we’ve had out there is just incredible.”
McElheron said the club took in $1,900 in just one day, on the stat holiday Dec. 28, with people buy-ing season and day passes, books of 10, renting gear or signing up children for jackrabbits.
“That is phenomenal for us,” he said. “We’ve fallen on some good times economically which is good, because we re-invest everything right back into the club.”
The Onion Lake trails were busy again on Jan. 3 for the free open house, when the glistening trails drew more than 250 skiers, jamming the parking lot with more than 100 vehicles, McElheron said.
Already this year, the club has 320 members, which is 30 per cent more than this time last winter and the same amount they had at the end of the season last year.
“Lots more passes should be sold… 360 [members] is our re-cord for the club and we may actu-ally beat that this year,” McElheron said.
Cathy Vandenberg, member-ship coordinator, said 65 of the new members are brand new, and the club is still expecting more members to sign up in the next few weeks, including some regulars and people taking advantage of the late season rate.
Vandenberg said beautiful weather like we have had recently
causes people to talk about the club and bring friends more.
“The ski conditions have been extremely good this year... and there has been lots of hype about the new grooming machine,” she said.
New member Noah Timmins, 29, just moved to the area and said the trails and facilities here blew him away: the length and variety of trails, night skiing, and quality trails good for classic and skate skiers. “And it’s just a very scenic area. You ski by lakes, you’ve got mountain views, a nice lodge…and everyone is so friendly and welcoming.”
McElheron says he believes the growth is largely due to the buzz around the new groomer and the recent article published in The Ter-race Standard and The Northern Connector.
“I attribute the buzz and the excitement to that article because I was [at the trails Jan. 3] hearing people say ‘I can’t believe I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve never been up here.’ Obviously the article really increased the aware-ness,” McElheron said. “And it’s the weather too. Shames is having
a really good run of it too.” Snow is also a huge factor, be-
cause “when the snow is out, the people that love snow want to play in it,” he said, whether it is cross country or downhill skiing, snow-boarding, ice skating or snowmo-biling.
Jackrabbits set a new record this year with more than 60 children and youths signed up by last Fri-day, topping the 54-skier record set last year. Vandenberg says the pro-gram has grown every year since 2009 when there were 34 in 2009.
The cross country trails have a strong one-foot base, about 2-2.5 feet of snow packed tightly.
“It is great. We were in good shape by about [Dec. 20]… The machine arrived, and two days later enough snow arrived,” said McElheron. “We could use another two or three feet in the next month, that would put us in really good shape…Usually February is the month of snow up there, so hope-fully the best is yet to come, but it’s weather so you never know.”
Coming up is the Snow Valley Open Race Jan. 16 and the Wom-en’s Ski Fest Jan. 31, for women of all ages and abilities.

STUDENTS LEARN flips, cart-wheels, handstands and splits in a rapidly growing acro program at Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club. For some, it is the fun of these skills that draws them, for others, developing these skills is a launch-ing pad to strengthen their compet-itive dancing or skating.
The program did not run last January (2015) but it was revived in June 2015 when program coor-dinator Karl McPherson was hired.
He says that acro is the first program at the club to fill up. They started it last spring once a week and it has expanded into three classes a week – two beginner and one advanced – plus an adult drop-in class every week.
Acro is about learning the foun-dational gymnastics skills, but McPherson also teaches his stu-dents many life skills through the sport.
His classes begin with a physi-cal assessment and then he asks his students why they are taking the class and what they want to get out of it. He uses the goals of the students to frame the timetable, to help students develop physically and work towards their goals and achieve the best results.
A 10 or 15 week program, classes start with warm up, include a fitness component, and then go into the mechanics and technique of differ-ent gymnastics skills.
McPherson says he is up front and realistic with students, listening when they say “I can’t,” but encouraging them not to give up.
“If you’re here for a back handspring, but you’re really not flexible or strong enough to be able to do that, then it’s going to take us about eight to 10 weeks before we can do that,” he tells them.
“The more realistic you are with their expec-tations… the more they appreciate the results they are getting,” he said.
The classes include small, realistic and tan-gible goals to help students recognize their progress and stay motivated to keep pushing
themselves to develop more – which are good life lessons.
McPherson says it is much better to take small steps rather than jump right to the skills students want to do but are usually not ready for, which will get them discouraged.
“I just don’t want them to believe that they are not able to do this,” he said. “It’s ‘no, you can’t do this right now, but physically you’re not there, so this is what we have to do to get you there… It’s not going to happen now, but if you work towards it, it could happen.’”
McPherson said students do not always ac-cept his time frames right away, but as they do the exercises and moves in the class, they grow in self-awareness and come to understand and respect what he says.
Terrace’s Alexis Cooper said she took acro because she wanted to be more flexible and do back walkovers and splits. So far she has already learned to do proper cartwheels and handstands – moves she always saw as scary and hard.
“He breaks it down in steps,” Cooper said of McPherson and his coaching.
Nine-year-old Ava Allen, an-other student in the class, agreed, saying she likes how he leads them step by step and tells them things very clearly.
Payton Prevost said she wants to learn walkovers and the front handspring, and has already mas-tered the cartwheel and handstand.
“I think [McPherson] is pretty good, he’s helpful,” she said. “He is very specific and helps us look at things properly. It’s really fun.”
McPherson said that every stu-dent’s body type is different, and movements and stances have to be modified to fit the student, with taller students placing their hands differently on a handstand than the shorter students.
He tries to demonstrate that to students as well, pairing them up intentionally so they can see how moves differ for different body types. It is just one more life les-son that students learn through the class.
Each class also includes a warm up and fitness component, partly
to get students fit to do acro, but also to show students that they can stay healthy through a variety of activities, not just the typical gym workouts.
“We want them to be active for life,” said McPherson.
Another page is flipped on the relentless calendar. It is 2016. This means that I’ve lived in the Skeena Valley for 38 years, and
despite advice from many people includ-ing my daughter Cait last winter, I’ve never ridden the rails.
This is odd because the railway has been an important presence throughout my life. My Opa actually worked for the Dutch Railway (Spoorwegen as the Dutch call them), for a long time before and during the Second World War. As a consequence, the Garretsen family rode all over their tiny country for free and often.
When we moved into our new home in the wilds of North Burnaby in the spring of 1959 the tracks that carried the then-lengthy passenger liners and the freight trains that were far shorter than those of today, was less than a mile distant. The tracks wound through the swamps, cross-ing the creeks that fed Still Creek, skirted Burnaby Lake, crossed the Brunette River, then led east past New Westminster along the shores of the Fraser.
The Trans Canada Highway was a fu-ture project then, and the traffic on the Lougheed Highway was a trickle com-pared to what it is today. The blast of the trains’ horns as they approached the cross-ings at Douglas Road and Sperling Avenue were the dominant sounds at night.
For scrubby urchins like us, the horn of the diesels was a siren call. Though we were wisely warned of the danger of lolly-gagging on the railway, we spent many days of those seemingly endless summer holi-days using the tracks as trails to access to wilderness adventures like frog hunts, raft trips, and futile forays with bows and arrows or sling shots after ring-necked pheasants or mallards.
It wasn’t long before we discovered that there were even more alluring tracks a couple of miles in the opposite di-rection.
The tracks at the foot of that trail began in the train yards near the Vancouver long shore and carried trains that came from the North Shore and other destinations even farther north across the lift bridge span-ning the turbulent waters of the Second Narrows.
These steel rails belonged to the Cana-dian Pacific. They were long, slow freight-ers that took all kinds of materials, yellow
sulphur, coal, oil, and chemicals to the refiner-ies and other industrial enterprises that lined the Burrard Inlet from Vancouver to the port at Coquitlam.
When we made our first exploratory trips to the inlet on bike and then on foot after stashing our bikes in the woods, the foreshore was lined with the shacks of squat-ters perched on barna-cle-encrusted rocks to keep them above the highest tides. The inhab-itants, families in some cases but mostly mis-anthropes, crossed the
tracks and took the same trail we used to reach the stores at the foot of Capitol Hill or the small settlement at Lochdale to pur-chase groceries and other supplies. They fascinated us. We speculated on how they acquired enough money for those essen-tials, and we wondered if they subsisted on fish and crabs and shellfish, and if fish was a mainstay in their diets, what they used for bait.
We might have asked them, of course, but we didn’t, having been persistently
warned by our parents to avoid strangers. Eventually the Canadian Pacific posted signs declaring the tracks off limits. We ignored them, but the cops of the CN en-forced the newly created law with zeal when it came to the squatters who were evicted. Eventually their shacks were burned or torn down. All that remained of their evanescent tenure were the pilings upon which their homes once stood.
There were still a couple of sturdy docks and less dependable log booms. The former were wonderful structures for fish recruitment and for swallows to nest. From them we caught flounder, bullheads, sea bass, shiners, rock and tommy cod, and crabs in abundance. If our parents had known the perils we subjected ourselves to as we clambered over piers and scampered across log booms and rail way tracks, they would have been shocked and angry.
The unique smells and sounds of trains, the melancholy blasts of the horns, the rhythmic rattle of wheels of steel, kindle fond remembrances of those boyhood ad-ventures for me to this day.
We should take the train to Smithers for New Years, I suggested to Karen. We could ask Bob and Gail if they’ll put us up.
The next day, Karen said Gail was ex-cited at the prospect, and that she’d booked two tickets on-line.
Next week, a trip by train…
