Desire for a Cable Car playground Cameron Orr A coalition of Cable Car area parents are banding together to ask the District of Kitimat to install a playground in their rural subdivision.

It’s not the first time the issue has come up, as a town report this month refers to previously reviewed areas, which include the north end of Greyling Avenue, Chinook Avenue at the road to the Kitimat River, and a right of way access just off Coho Avenue.

There’s no perfect location for a park though.

The Coho location is in a lot flanked by homes on either side and home owners are not keen to see one built so close to their home.

The other two sites’ most notable challenge is that they are on Crown land, rather than District of Kitimat land.

A delegation of parents to council on December 14, led by Cable Car resident Lani Gibson, says that despite the obstacles outlined by the District of Kitimat in installing a playground in the area, it’s something that should be considered under their next budget preparation.

Gibson said the town should set aside $75,000 to acquire the land and begin work in 2016. She acknowledges installing a playground is pricier for Cable Car simply due to certain factors, but as tax payers they shouldn’t have to go without amenities available to people in other parts of the municipality.

That cost would include how much the town would have to spend potentially to acquire Crown land under the two options.

Townhouses get dev permit The developer planning a 40-unit townhouse complex on Kingfisher Avenue is in support of the conditions placed on a development permit for the complex.

Council approved the permit that will allow the developer to go ahead on construction.

Those conditions include having bear-proof on-site garbage containers, a no-build covenant on the portion of the site not included in the envelope of the planning buildings, and a $2,000 landscaping bond.

Not a condition of the permit specifically but as part of the development McFadden Management will also be improving that section of Kingfisher to-

wards the golf course, bringing it up to municipal standards.

Stuart McFadden told council at the December 14 meeting that the company accepted all of the conditions of the permit and was happy to continue to develop the site.

The Advisory Planning Commission also supported the application and there were no public comments on the application made.

Residents appear in better spirits about the proposal now, after a rocky go last year when an application came in to develop over 50 townhouse units at the site.

Now that the proposal is at 40 units, the amount allowed for under existing

zoning, there have been no public complaints.

Those 40-units will be split among five townhouses buildings.

The no-build portion of the site includes a ravine with a significant slope.

In the past the District of Kitimat say proposals for up to 124 units have been made for that site.

The subdivision in 1976 for Margetts Street also allowed for the potential development on Kingfisher for multi-family dwellings.

Development of that area was envisioned to have begun as soon as Margetts Street was completed.

In 1991 the land was rezoned to allow for the 40 townhouses.

Police say drunk driving is on the dive A road check conducted by Kitimat RCMP recently only caught less than a handful of impaired drivers out of 250 vehicles stopped.

That statistic is encouraging to the detachment who says drinking and driving is on the decline in the community.

“It’s very encouraging seeing the public perception changing. Impaired driving in Kitimat is no longer accepted as normal.

This is a big change from 20 years ago when a road check like the one conducted could have caught a dozen drunk drivers,” said Cpl. Chris Manseau through a detachment news release.

The release continues, “The Kitimat RCMP members have noticed that the residents of Kitimat have taken road safety in our town very seriously with an encouraging amount of persons driving with designated drivers, taking taxis or

supplied shuttles from recent large gatherings.”

Meanwhile between December 6 and December 12 the RCMP say they in-

vestigated 65 files or complaints.

That includes four drivers found to have suspended licences, an assault at an area bar involving three person

who are known to each other, and an assault between two people not believed to be known to each other.

There were also seven traffic complaints,

three motor vehicle collisions and three investigations of impaired driving where suspensions were issued.

There were 14

complaints involving alcohol, drugs or impaired persons in that time as well.

Anyone with information on a crime is encouraged to call the Kitimat RCMP detachmebt at 250-6327111.

Callers can remain anonymous by calling the Crime Stoppers line at 1-800-222-8477,

B.C. BRIEFS

Liberals

B.C. Liberal Party executive director Laura Miller has resigned and returned to Ontario to face criminal charges stemming from deletion of government email records.

Miller was deputy chief of staff to former Ontario Liberal premier Dalton McGuinty in 2013.

She and former chief of staff David Livingstone have been charged with one count each of breach of trust, mischief in relation to data and “misuse of a computer system to commit the offence of mischief,” the Ontario Provincial Police said in a statement Thursday.

The charges relate to email records that were sought by opposition parties after the Ontario government abruptly cancelled two planned gasfired power plants that were facing strong local opposition. Miller and Livingstone were accused of bringing in Miller’s partner, computer technician Peter Faist, to erase hard drives in McGuinty’s office.

Nechako does Christmas Holiday cheer was shared at Nechako Elementary which held its Christmas concert December 17. These kids are running the audience through the 12 days of Christmas. The photo was snapped at the “partridge in a pear tree.”

Random acts of kindness A select few shoppers in Kitimat were given a sudden surprise during their community shopping.

The Kitimat Chamber of Commerce partnered with a selection of their member businesses to give away free merchandise.

That is, when a shopper came to the till last week at one of four businesses — Pyramid Office Supplies, Constant Cravings, Rosario, and What’s In Store — their bill was compensated, and they were given a card explaining the good deed that had taken place with an encouragement to pay it forward somewhere else.

Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Trish Parsons said she got the idea from a news cast one night and thought the plan would work well in Kitimat.

“We randomly grabbed four of our members to see if they would be interested in doing it,” she said. “It just makes people feel good.”

The giveaways were entirely random, says Parsons. That means it wasn’t just for a certain number of customers at certain times of day, but just for customers in the right place at the right time.

Parsons said she has been encouraged by the responses she’s seen on Facebook where people have posted their stories of getting their bill covered.

The initiative may return at some point in the future but just like for the customers last week, its return may come at any random time.

“Any time of the year,” said Parsons. “It doesn’t always have to be at Christmas time.”

Learning how to support refugees Cameron Orr Attendance of 16 people at an information workshop regarding taking in Syrian refugees is a good sign there is local interest in the subject.

Even more, there are some Kitimat applications already in the works to bring in refugees, which will join families already in Terrace and in Smithers.

The information workshop was hosted by Liz Hoffman of the Kitimat Immigration Resource Centre.

Hoffman gave those in attendance information and assurances on how the immigration process works in Canada.

Hoffman says on the security aspect, it’s actually a rigorous process of screening and being a refugee in Canada is a harder process than just coming here as a visitor.

Because of those security checks it’s not an ideal process for would-be terrorists.

She also countered the concern that

it costs the government money to support refugee families.

While she said the federal government has a settlement assistance fund, that is special funding that has always been available and is not a new program in response to the Syrian issue.

Provincially refugees don’t typically receive social services as well, at least for their first year in the country, which is the term of sponsorship for them by Canadians.

Its the sponsors who also have to provide the costs for the family, including housing.

Hoffman said the most common route to sponsor a refugee is to do the Group of Five process, where at least five people commit to financial and emotion support of the family for the first year, at an expected year-long cost of $25,000.

The refugees also are on the hook for the transportation cost in to Canada, and if they can’t pay outright for it a loan, with interest, is offered by the Ca-

nadian government.

The Kitimat Immigration Resource Centre is in the Northwest Community College building and she said information literature and forms are available for interested persons.

She said there are two Kitimat applications submitted to sponsor a refugee family, and two more are being seriously considered.

Terrace has had two recent family arrivals and another two on the way, she said.

Smithers meanwhile has four families who recently settled in their community.

The provincial government earlier this year committed to supporting the federal government’s ambitions to bring in 25,000 refugees.

“We are going to fund their children when they go to school, of course, and support them in finding the counselling services, the housing and general settlement services that they need,” said Premier Christy Clark.

Pumped Gasoline is a great subject to gripe about.

For most of us gasoline plays a very central role in our lives, in how we get to work, and how much goods cost. (Things have to get to Kitimat somehow.)

I was reading some news articles about gasoline last week and found interesting things to share.

So, number one, a financial analyst for BMO went on record to say that gasoline really shouldn’t be as expensive as it is right now.

“With last week’s plunge in oil fresh in my mind as I headed into the weekend, I couldn’t help but notice how gasoline prices had ticked higher from the previous week,” he wrote in a research note which was published on CBC and other news organizations.

The price of crude oil, a major factor in the price of gas, is super depressed at around $35USD a barrel.

In Kitimat we’ve certainly seen the price of gasoline dropping, as of writing levelled off at 104.9 at its lowest price in town.

But being a notable low, we’re back to crude prices which existed when the price of the pump was well below a dollar — around 80 cents, the CBC continues.

To explain the discrepancy the CBC has us covered. And in part it’s our Loonie that’s too blame.

A senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com is quoted saying the lower Canadian dollar means gasoline prices will remain stubbornly in the dollarplus range.

A huge demand for gasoline is also offsetting a drop in the commodity price.

As of last Thursday the falling Canadian loonie saw no relief, closing at below 72 cents.

A lower value Loonie does no favours for Canadians buying oil, which is priced in American dollars.

It’s hard to be too outraged when gas is going down a little though. At 104.9 it’s a better deal than we’ve seen in awhile. But it sure hurts when we know this cost of oil would have meant below-dollar prices in the past. **** Well, it’s two days until Christmas. For the holidays the Northern Sentinel wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We may get many treats and spoils for the holidays but for us our greatest gift is, yes, you the reader.

Oh sorry, I guess you get enough sap from your Christmas tree.

But in seriousness have fun, be safe, and we’ll see you next week ahead of the beginning of 2016.

(Family pro tip: Ask your uncle across the table what he thinks about gas prices. Enjoy uninterrupted turkey time while he lectures everyone on the issue.)

Looking at the year ahead of us Two days until Christmas and another seven to the end of 2015. And what a year it has been in Canada between the September-October election high jinks, the Duffy trial, the plunge of the Canadian dollar following the unexpected collapse of the price of a barrel of crude oil, and of course the ongoing climate change debate and its peculiar weather indicators across Canada.

We’ll be boldly going where no man has been before, into the year 2016, with a new younger Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his again mostly younger and perhaps lessexperienced gender-equality cabinet looking forward to the promised “sunny days,” politically speaking.

Parliament re-opened December 4 and a decidedly jet-lagged but still ferociously determined Prime Minister was there for the festivities and jolly traditional task of dragging another reluctant Speaker-of-the House to his lonely podium to kick off the debates of the upcoming Parliament term.

Most Canadians, I believe, are prepared to give Justin Trudeau some

time to settle in to his certainly onerous new job, but he has seemed to jump ahead of “most Canadians’ expectations” and has grasped the bull of his host of election promises firmly by the horns and begun the long chore of wrestling it to the ground.

He has presented an amazing tide of determined charm, hopeful declarations and a series of quick decisions which l hope will not all be around, as most expect, to bite us very soundly in the wallet in years to come.

I edited this paragraph from Joseph Brean’s immediate post election ponderings in the National Post on October 22 for the purposes of showing some of the past two months of hectic activities that certainly points to interesting times in 2016 and beyond.

(Edits in brackets.)

“Justin Trudeau has a lot to do.

(You can say that again!) With a majority in Parliament, he can do a lot...

Middle class tax cuts were his big campaign promise (introduced into the early Parliament and passed on December 9 to take effect January 1.

Even the NDP voted in favour because of the corresponding tax increase on the wealthy $200,000 plus earners.)

But hanging over every plan or promise is the absence of a Senate Liberal caucus, which could stall his legislative agenda. (Trudeau’s Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef and House leader Dominic LeBlancon announced a five-member independent advisory board will be struck to make recommendations for “merit-based” candidates to sit in the Senate. This announcement was greeted by derision from Conservative Senators.)

“The clock ticks on assisted dying, for example, which threatens to follow abortion into the legal netherworld of unlegislated private medical issues.”

So this is Christmas and why it is done Christ the Savior is born.

Friends, it is with great joy that I am able to share the story of our Savior who was born in a stable in Bethlehem, a Savior who was born to give His life for your salvation.

Now, Bethlehem wasn’t much of place in Jesus’ day. It was just a small village about five miles from the mighty gates of Jerusalem but it was the city of David, and because Mary and Joseph were from the line and lineage of David, they

had to go to Bethlehem to fill out the census decreed by Caesar Augustus. That is how they found themselves in this small town on a night when Mary was on or about her due date with the Savior of the world.

And it is in this little backwater of a

town, that the second greatest watershed moment in the history of the world occurred.

Second greatest? Well, just hold on! A watershed moment is an event that changes the course of your life, or on a grander scale, the course of history.

The watershed mo-

ment that we celebrate at this time of year is when Jesus came into this world. On that night the angels and Heavenly realms celebrated because God was doing something He had never done before and He would never do again. He was becoming one of us to save the souls of sinners.

This event was so important that the angels of Heaven decided that they needed to do something to make sure that it didn’t go unnoticed. They sent an angelic delegation

marijuana), reform elections (still pending I think - very big and contentious job) and meet with premiers to draft a climate policy for the Paris summit, (done, conference attended and the Canadian government signed on to a highflying plan that has fallen on immediate worldwide acclaim) while also getting the ball rolling on his infrastructure spending plan (can’t seem to find much new on this, other than an earnest sit down with the

Canadian Press to discuss some alternatives but I have little doubt cabinet ministers are working on a plan).

In addition Immigration Minister John McCallum finally succumbed to pressure and announce some delay in the government’s promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by year’s end.

As I write I am watching him stubbornly sticking to a promise to land 10,000 refugees by New Year’s.

We’ll have to wait and see on this one but I have little doubt that major progress towards the original promise tally will be accomplished by March.

There has been so much more in the hectic past month.

A commitment to all of the recommendations of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Prime Minister’s statement on this shows his conviction.

“And we will, in

to a group of shepherds that were watching their flocks close by the town. Why shepherds? Why not run a full-page ad in the Bethlehem Sentinel?

Well, the truth is God never forces us to love Him. He doesn't want us to love Him because of how mighty He is. He wants us to love Him for what He came to do for us. Remember I said this was the second biggest watershed event in human history; well, that cute baby Jesus grew up to be a man, a sinless

man, a spotless lamb.

For 33 years He preached the truth about our sin and about His salvation; and when He had done all that He had to do, He allowed Himself to be whipped, beaten and murdered on a Roman cross for our sins and raised three days later for our eternal salvation.

You see, the cradle, the cross and the empty tomb all together is the story of our salvation.

And so yes, something very special happened that night when

our Savior was born, and I would ask you today if that something special has happened in your heart? Has Jesus been born there too? This is why He came, for you, that you might be saved for all eternity. He is God’s Christmas present to you, and if you would receive Him as your Savior then I know it would be the biggest watershed moment of your life too.

May you all have a joyous Christmas as we celebrate our Savior's birth.

Amen.

partnership with Indigenous communities, the provinces, territories, and other vital partners, fully implement the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, starting with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

“We recognize that true reconciliation goes beyond the scope of the Commission’s recommendations. I am therefore announcing that we will work

with leaders of First Nations, Métis Nation, Inuit, provinces and territories, parties to the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement, and other key partners, to design a national engagement strategy for developing and implementing a national reconciliation framework, informed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations.”

This barely covers more than the tip of the government’s promises iceberg.

I use this term simply because in the election campaign itself there was little indication that the Liberal party had a good handle on the costs of that 90 per cent underwater anchor.

They will emerge and I suspect the government’s agenda, despite promises and insistence will evolve and change to meet the realities of the costs as the Canadian dollar creeps toward the sixties.

Yes an interesting year ahead.

H The Turtle Toy By: Isaiah Silva If I could make my own toy I would make a turtle that can do anything.

Like turn into a boat or even be a chair, the possibilities are endless.

All you need to have is a brain to think of everything. It’s a regular turtle that follows you around. There is also an animal mode that changes its personality, like if you want it to act like a cat, on top of the shell is a typer. Put in the animal and it will act like it. It can also talk but if you talk a different language, on the belly is a language changer which has all the languages.

There is one more thing, it is not battery powered. It has a generator inside that never stops making power. Don’t worry about knocking your head, its belly is full of wool.

You can get this toy anywhere. The ages are 3-50. If you are over 50 you’re not allowed but you probably don’t even want this toy anyway.

Favourite Thing About Winter Break By: Keiran Koza Christmas season is my favourite.

Some of my favourite things about Christmas is building big snowmen with friends and family, singing Christmas carols, making Christmas cookies, spending time with family and going sledding with friends. The reason these are all my favourite because they all involve spending time with friends and family. One of my most favourite things is Christmas Day. That’s when my whole family exchanges presents and spends the whole entire day with one another.

The thing I don’t like is when my family leaves. But then I remember they will come back next year.

That is my favourite thing about my favourite time, Christmas season.

The Devilish Christmas By: Jessi Kaberry My favourite thing about winter break is not the snow I like to stay inside and make stories and read books. And I have one that I’d like to share with you…

Once upon a Christmas in 1998 there was a family that lived in Hawaii. They loved Christmas, it was their favorite holiday. They had five children, there was Ivie, Joey, Lloyd, Ocean and Lila. Ivie was 13, Joey was 11, Lloyd was 9, Ocean was 7 and Lila was 5. Ivie was the only one who didn’t like Christmas. She was always going about her social life.

On that night after everyone had gone to sleep Ivie plotted a prank.

She had a brilliant plan. But she knew she wouldn’t remember it so she wrote on a piece of paper. She had no doubt that it would work. So that night she went downstairs and did her plan…. Can I have some milk said a very quiet voice while coming down the stairs. Ivie knew what to do. I can dress up like Santa,

TORY CONT S Y A D I ES L SUBMISSIONS O T This year, young writers used one of the three following themes as a starting inspiration for their stories: Theme 1) Holiday traditions at my house Theme 2) My favourite thing about winter break Theme 3) If you designed a toy or game, what would it be?

MOST ENTRANTS ARE BETWEEN GRADES 4 TO 6

thought Ivie. She went up to Lila and brought her a warm glass of milk.

Now go up to bed said Ivie. But I want a piggy back ride from you Santa, okay I’ll bring you up to bed but then you have to go to sleep said Ivie. Alright said Lila.

So she got on Santa’s back and went upstairs. Once she got to bed she said Santa…. Wait are you going to give me presents this year. It was hard to say yes or no…

“No”, then she turned off the light and went downstairs. She put the presents back from where they were before and put the fake ones in the garbage. And Ivie went to bed. In the morning she was delighted that everyone was happy with their new presents. And that she made a very good choice.

Gamer By: Markus M. If I had to design a game console I would design the 3DZ. It would be a console and a suit that would be connected and say you were playing Call of Duty, you would be able to choose guns and grenades on the screen, you would have the gun you want.

You would be able to shoot it by pulling the trigger, to throw grenades you would take them off your belt and throw them.

When you do missions and you’re driving, you sit on something and you steer the steering wheel with your hands.

If you’re playing a game where you are walking and socializing with people the suit has a mic where you can talk to your friends.

That’s my game for ya.

The Night Before Christmas By: Olivia Petersen It was the night before Christmas and Santa was starting up his sleigh then he took off. The first destination was Madagascar, second was Russia and third was Hawaii. When Santa was at his final destination (which was a huge Canadian orphanage) a three year old snuck out of his bed and into Santa’s sack. But Santa didn’t notice so he went home. When he got home he dumped out his sack and with the leftover toys he found the boy. So Santa didn’t know what to do except to treat him like an elf and that is what he did. But he still didn’t have a name so they named him Jack.

Santa tried to make him make the toys that the other elves made but Jack wanted to make his own toy so Santa let him. Jack wanted to make a toy for girls, nobody knows why.

So he is making a brand new Ally Girl movie and if you buy it you get a free Ally Girl toy that can talk. So he made 9,000,100 in a day. When it was close to Christmas they sent out to all kids a list of the things that Santa and his elves make. So every elf went and dropped them off at the houses. It took a couple of months for Santa to get them back but when they did, the most popular toy was the Ally Girl movie with the doll. Jack was named Elf of the Year.

The Toy Machine By: Evan Demelo Once upon a time there was a boy named John. John is very poor though.

One day John went to school, everybody had a toy that he wanted.

The toy was called Metal Man. It shot lasers, talked and it even could walk with you. This toy however was very expensive and John, being poor, couldn’t afford it. So John thought to himself, “What if I invented a toy that makes toys.”

So John set out on that dream. Days and days pased but John still did not have an idea. But one day it hit him. What if it had a magical power source powering it? This power source was called The Chronos. It was nestled in a cave in the jungle Juru.

The next day John set out. He said goodbye and left.

John endured freezing nights and scorching days but at last he was there. He saw it, The Chronos. It was shining green. He took it and

started home.

When he got home he worked all night and all day. At last it was done.

He pressed a button and it whizzed away. When it was done he took the toy and yelled, “Yes!” He played until it broke but when it did he made a new one.

His invention changed the world and his life.

What I Do For Winter Break By: Aimee Parish My favourite things about winter break are decorating my house, getting our Christmas tree and having friends and family over to celebrate with me.

When we put up the lights outside, my Dad, my brother and I usually put them up because my Mom is doing something else, although I never know what. Last year, we got our Christmas tree from a local church.

Once we had our tree, my family and friends arrived and we decorated the tree together. With the tree up, we all started to wrap the presents and put them under the tree.

Another of my favourite things to do is to help my mom with setting up the Nativity set. It is a beautiful Willow Tree set showing baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three Wise Men with their gifts for Jesus and lots of barn animals all in a manger.

On Christmas day, when the gifts have been opened, we go down to the kitchen and help my Mom with Christmas dinner.

These are my favourite things about the winter break.

A Girl with a Big Doll By: Ellen Abreu My favourite thing to do over winter break is to make up stories. I’ll tell you one right now.

Once upon a time there was a little girl name Evelyn who wanted a big doll for Christmas. She was worried she wouldn’t get the big doll she had hoped for because she had been naughty this year.

That night Evelyn cried all night. Her mother asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m sad,” said Evelyn.

“Why are you sad?” asked Evelyn’s mother.

“I’m sad becuase I’ve been naughty so I won’t get a big doll on Christmas Day.” It was morning time and Evelyn’s mom came in to her room to wake her up and said, “I know what will make you happy today Evelyn.”

“What will make me happy?” asked Evelyn.

“Go look in the kitchen.” said her mother.

“What’s in the kitchen?” asked Evelyn.

“Just go and look.” said her mother.

“Oh my gosh there’s an elf! Do you think she’s pretty mom?”

“Yes I do.” said Evelyn’s mother.

“Can I touch her?” Evelyn asked her mother.

“No, she will lose her magic if you touch her.” Evelyn’s mother explained.

After Evelyn stared at the elf with amazement, Evelyn and her mother went our for lunch and then finished up with last minute Christmas shopping. When they arrived home Evelyn’s mother suggested that Evelyn go to bed because it had been a long day.

Christmas morning Evelyn woke up and saw the big doll she wanted under the Christmas tree. Evelyn screamed as loud as she could!

Holiday Traditions By: Declan V. On Christmas Eve I go to my Nan’s house and we have yummy Christmas dinner. After dinner we have cake as dessert and it is good.

My sister and I go downstairs and watch Christmas movies. We both open one present in the livingroom beside the tree and we go home after we say goodbye.

When we get home my sister and I open another present.

On Christmas day I wake up at 6:00am and I stare at the tree wanting to open a present. When my mom and dad get up we take the stuff out of the stockings and then we open presents. We go to my Grandma’s and we open a present at her house and then we eat dinner and dessert again.

Holiday Traditions By: Unity K. There are soo many holiday traditions at my family’s house. on Christmas Eve we go to my Auntie’s house and we have a blast there.

The family has a big turkey dinner with so much food. After we are done eating we bolt into the living room and settle down to watch our most favourite Christmas movie, Home Alone. While the Christmas movie plays we open presents!

Christmas presents are my favourite part personally.

We stay really super duper long.

When we get home I am dying of lack of sleep so I have to go to bed immediately.

When I wake up in the morning it is Christmas Day! This is when I open my presents from my Grandma and my stocking.

For the rest of the day I use the things I got for Christmas!

Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year and it is the best holiday as well.

Winter Break By: Christine Ferreira There are many reasons why I love Christmas break. My sister and I always make delicious gingerbread men. They make my house smell delicious and we decorate them with smarties and icing. When the cookies are finished we sit in the livingroom and watch our favourite Christmas movie, Christmas with the

Kranks. During Christmas break we like to go sledding at the golf course.

I like sledding because it’s really fun to go speeding down the steep hill.

After we go sledding, we go home and have creamy hot chocolate with giant marshmallows. I also like decorating my Christmas tree. It’s fun helping my mom put out the ornaments and snow globes while listening to wonderful Christmas music. After decorating I like to go outside and play in the white fluffy snow. It’s fun to build snowmen and snow forts and to have snowball fights with my sister.

Christmas break is my favourite time of year.

Winter Break

By Miah R. My favourite thing to do on winter break is to spend time with family and embrace advent. It’s the perfect time to be thankful for everything and give hope, joy, peace and love to others. Some people get all greedy around this time and others don’t. The best part about winter break is the big feast and no school, teachers and snow. In Christmas it’s also the perfect time for kids to feel the magic. That’s why winter break is the best.

My Favourite Things About Winter Break By: Edouard Leboeuf My favourite thing about winter break is Christmas.

Usually I stay in Kitimat for winter break because my grandparents come for Christmas. Our family tradition is that we go to the Christmas mass but not the midnight one. My grandma makes this traditional meal called tourtiere and it is very good. Every time we visit Quebec we eat that meal.

I always spend Christmas with my family. Either in Quebec or at Kitimat I always spend Christmas with my family. When I go to Quebec for Christmas me and my cousins go play outside in the snow and when we go to our cousins house for Christmas or not, we always have sleepovers.

I love Christmas time.

My Christmas Tradition By: Jess McLaren One day on Christmas Eve, my parents started to make popcorn.

It had butter and white cheddar cheese. My parents had invited my family to watch a Christmas movie called Elf, so all my family came over and we went down to the basement and started the movie. After my family left, my mom, dad, brother and I all went to bed.

Christmas morning we all go down stairs at seven o’clock to open our presents. I usually get socks and underwear for Christmas. After Christmas morning we clean up the whole house. Then my family and my best friends come over for turkey dinner. After that, we open even more presents and take a family

photo and a friend Christmas photo, and then we say goodbye.

Ever since that Christmas it’s been an amazing Christmas tradition.

Space Pac Invader Man By: Anthony De Melo If I invented a new video game it would be a mixture of Space Invaders and Pac Man. These are games that are very old - well not that old.

Now people have made games like Destiny, Call of Duty, Halo and many more. Older games like Pac Man, Galaxagon, Space Invaders, Centipede and many more. The older games have patterns you have to follow. The newer games you pretty much have no pattern.

The point of the game is you are Pac Man, while having another joystick in the other hand. While moving the good space ship that is destroying the bad spaceships. If the good space ship misses the bad space ship then Pac Man might need to dodge the bad space ship.

Did you play these video games when you were a kid?

A Christmas Miracle

By Mallory Scrivens Ding dong the clock struck 5 on December 24. Mack jumped up out of her desk as her school bell rang.

She ran outside and waited for her dad’s black Camaro. But instead of a black Camaro, right in front of her was a red sleigh. In the red sleigh was Santa Claus!

“Ho Ho Ho, get in little girl, we’re off to Santa’s workshop.”

“Yahoo! But why? When? Why?”, asked Mack.

“Well it is up to you, young lady, to create a new game for all boys and girls and we’re leaving now.”

Santa said as he pulled on the reigns, “Giddy up Dancer.”

I just can’t belive this is happening!

(A few minutes later they arrived at Santa’s workshop.)

“Wow, it’s so pretty here,” said mack, excited.

“Let’s get started,” said Santa. “Ok.” “Hello. I’m Levi,” said a cute little elf.

“Well my game is called Santa Land and there is allowed four players and the game characters are little elves.

Each player gets an elf and you have to roll the dice and see what number you land on. Then you move on the squares. If you land on a sleigh ride square you go ahead 3 spaces.”

“If you land on a Mr. Grinch square you go back 5 spaces. The goal of the game is to get to Santa’s workshop.”

“Great, I love it!” said Santa, peeking around the corner.

The elves created 10,000,000 games. Mack rode in the sleigh with Santa and delivered the gifts to children.

Ho Ho Ho and a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Break By: Olivia Hill It’s finally Christmas break. My favourite thing about Christmas

break is of course Christmas!

I want a dog, an Iphone 6 plus and a new Ipad mini.

My mom says, “Hunny that’s sure a lot of expensive stuff.”

My dad said,”Sure hunny I’ll get you everything you want!”

My mom and dad are very different but that’s okay.

It’s finally Christmas morning. I walked downstairs and looked under the tree and you know what, I see one present.

One present, that’s it. The present was a huge, bright, sparkling box. I go up to the box and I open it and there is a little puppy in it.

I noticed I don’t need a bunch of expensive stuff. Then we all left and went to the dog park.

Night Owl Toy By: Ewan T. Behold the most awesome toy of all time, and shall stay the most awesome toy of all time!

Here he is, the son of Batman, Night Owl! Adjustable arms, action sound voice and his owl mask can come off and on. He has a Batman symbol on his Batman suit and his owl mask is so sweet!

Ages 1 to 100 and if you live past 100, good but there is no need for to have it.

So come on over and waste your money on this toy for Christmas!

Price: $300 *Please do not copyright this!

If I Designed a Toy or Game

By Gavin Thomopoulos If I designed a toy or a game I would design a toy and the toy would be the Make Your Own Touque. The make your Own Touque would be really fun to do and I am going to tell you how to do it.

The Make Your Own Touque should come with scissors, yarn and a cardboard circle.

First grab the cardboard circle and grab the yarn too. Make a loop at the bottom of the yarn, grab the other end of the yarn and stick it through the loop and do that all around the circle. Once you do that grab another piece of yarn and tie it all around the hanging pieces of yarn and cut off all of the really long pieces of string. Look you did it! You finished the touque now you have a yarn touque.

Winter Break By: Jennifer Da Silva I love winter break! Frolicking in the snow, hanging out with friends and, most of all, Christmas. I get to be with my family and get presents! I’m really excited this year because my friend that lives in Alberta is coming for Christmas! The last time I saw him was in the end of summer. Also, since there’s no school, I will get to hang out with my friends from other schools. But I know that I will still be hanging out with family.

I’m so grateful that my Vovo and Vavo are still with us, they are the

best grandparents you can ever have!

I also have another pair of grandparents that are equally awesome. Last year, we spent Christmas with them at Prince George with the other relatives. We took a really cool train to there and it was so fun! We sang Christmas carols and I made new friends. Last year my cousin Darrin and I made two awesome candles. We drew pictures on them and coloured really neatly. We made them for my grandma, so when she saw them she was so happy!

This year we are staying in town for Christmas.

I’m so excited!

Once Upon a Troublesome Christmas By: Iris Young The thing I like most about winter break is well, Christmas, spending time with my family, singing in the choir at my church and having lots of time to write stories like the one I’m going to tell you right now...

Once upon a time there was a girl that had a very strong imagination.

So strong and big that sometimes it got her in trouble. Her name was Alicea Maran Hope. Alicea is her first name, Maran is her middle name and Hope is her last name. Anyway, now that I’ve introduced Alicea I’ll tell a little bit more about her.

Alicea lives with her dad, her two year old brother and her five year old sister. She is ten and her dad thinks it’s time for her to grow up and stop believing in fairies and stuff like that but Alicea just nods and says, “Yeah maybe.”

Six months ago, Alicea’s mom passed away in a car crash since the road was icy the truck driving on the other side of Alicea’s mom slipped and spun into Alicea’s mom. She was driving a bug car and the truck sort of squashed Alicea’s mom.

Since then Alicea has completely hated big trucks.

Before Christmas Alicea’s dad asked Alicea what she wanted and she said, “ A husky.”

“Well,” her dad said, “maybe if you’re good you will get a husky.”

“Yeah, I guess.” Alicea said with a sigh.

“What’s wrong Alicea?” asked her dad.

“I just miss mom.” said Alicea.

“Yeah I know. We all do, me, your sister and your brother.”

A tear seemed to slip from Alicea’s eye. “You know the reason I want a husky is so I won’t be as lonely.”

Then more tears came spilling down her cheeks and she seemed mad at her dad and yelled at him but in a soft voice like she almost could not raise her voice.

A few days later in was Christmas Eve! Alicea’s dad said he was going to visit one of his friends and drop Alicea, her brother and her sister off at their grandparent’s house but he was actually going on a

special errand. So while Alicea and her brother and sister were at their grandparents house they made cookies! The cookies were shortbread shaped as Santa and little bells. They made perogies too.

Their grandpa showed them how to pinch the sides together.

After Alicea’s dad got back from his errand, Alicea’s grandparents decided to come over for a Christmas Eve party! When Alicea came inside, her grandparents said, “Who wants a perogie?”

“I want a cookie.” said Alicea’s brother.

“Not yet!” exclaimed Alicea’s grandma.

When the family had all sat down to eat they heard a little woof woof and a box under the Christmas tree was going from side to side and immediately Alicea jumped up and opened it. Inside was a husky! She screamed and grabbed the puppy.

She looked at her pink bubblegum tounge and her adorable blue eyes.

She had four over-sized paws and her fur was the softest thing you would ever touch.

“Oh, I love her! I just love her. Daddy, is she for me?”

“Why of course she is. What will you name her?”

“Tika!” answered Alicea. The moment Alicea set Tika down, Tika got in trouble.

First she kicked the tree down and it fell, then she chewed on Grandma’s shoes, then she jumped onto a chair and ate the perogies on the table and after all this she, well let’s just say up came Grandma’s shoes and lots of perogies.

At the sight of all this the family’s faces turned from shocked and disgusted to a smile and they all laughed and Alicea’s grandpa said, “What a troublesome Christmas!”

“Well Alicea, you wanted a husky, so now take care of her.” said Alicea’s dad.

“Okay.” said Alicea and with that she got to work cleaning.

Once she finished cleaning she got right to bed because she didn’t want Santa not to come. When Alicea woke up, she went to go pet Tika but Tika wasn’t there! Alicea looked everywhere for her but she was nowhere to be found. Then finally Alicea heard a big crash and she ran over to where the noise came from and found that Tika again had knocked the Christmas tree down and got caught in some Christmas lights! Alicea untangled Tika and grabbed her. She tried to scold Tika but Tika looked at her with such funny but cute eyes it seemed impossible, so instead she just laughed.

Alicea climbed back into her bed, but this time with Tika in her arms.

Alicea dozed off in a very, very deep sleep and dreamt she was hugging Tika and her mom. It was a very, very good dream.

Specialized shopping cart for special needs Cameron Orr A new group called Kitimat Disability Resources has made their first contribution to the community with the acquisition of a Caroline’s Cart, a special shopping cart that has seating for people who have mobility challenges.

The cart, in place of where a small child or baby would sit, has an extra large chair that will fit older children right to seniors.

The cart is now available for use at Overwaitea.

Kitimat Disability Resources was started up this year by two parents with special needs children.

Those two are Jessica Fred-

rickson and Megan Rothney.

“We are very thankful for the support our community has shown us along with the local businesses and organizations that have given us fundraising opportunities to make the collaboration with Overwaitea possible,” said Fredrickson.

She said Overwaitea manager Jas Pannu was very eager to get the cart which he felt would better accomodate families.

The group chose this cart because with an abundance of children being diagnosed either with an intellectual or physical disability activities like going to the grocery store is challenging. Fredrickson and

Rothney say many parents will avoid grocery shopping with their children because it can be near impossible to do it alone.

The cart’s seat is rear facing so the parent can keep eye contact on the child.

They say the value is in allowing people with special needs the ability to participate in mainstream society.

Fredrickson’s own daughter has outgrown a standard shopping cart’s child seat but the Caroline’s Cart will allow her to shop with her with the seat.

The seat does hold up to 250 lbs and has a five-point harness.

Mobile by name no more Cameron Orr No more mobile homes.

At least, not in name.

Kitimat Council has approved three readings so far of a renaming of certain sections in the Kitimat Municipal Code.

The attempt to modernize the language means Kitimat’s local laws won’t refer anymore to mobile homes, but instead to manufactured homes.

Most references to any structure being “mobile” is

being taken out.

The most recent bylaw to be affected by the name change will be the bylaw which sets out the conditions on which a developer can redevelop a manufactured home park.

Overwaitea store manager Jas Pannu stands with Megan Rothney and Jessica Fredrickson, and Jessica’s daughter Ava, to mark the store’s addition of a special shopping cart for people with special needs.

Youth on the rights path Cameron Orr A program to introduce youth to their rights and to use photography to express those rights in an artistic way led to an exhibit of the images at the Kitimat Youth Centre December 16.

Six of Kitimat’s youth participated in the event which had them using photography to express one of the 42 rights for children and youth and expressed by the Society for Children and Youth of BC. Kendle Ferguson, 13, said she did not know youth had so many rights before taking part in the PhotoVoice program. She especially took to the right to be protected from dangerous drugs, an issue she has seen affect people she’s known.

Cendrine Bolduc, 13, shares Ferguson’s feeling that she didn’t

KITIMAT RESIDENTIAL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S

PICKUP SCHEDULE

know about even half the rights on the list before participating.

Also at the exhibit was Chelsea Boyson who said her favourite right is to say what you believe if adults are making decisions for you.

Chennille Gingera said the right which stood out for her most was the right to be able to live somewhere warm, as in a dry and safe place. She said it’s a right many children don’t get to enjoy.

The Kitimat Coordinator for the PhotoVoice project, Desiree Earl, said the photo exhibit was the third phase of the project, which also included a forum where the youth learned about social activism and the ethics of photography.

The program also ran in Vernon where 10 other students participated.

Friday, December 25 will be picked up Monday, December 28.

HAVE A STORY?

Tell us about it!

Jackrabbit class had a ski fitting Dec. 12.

The re-invigorated volunteer groomers are also anticipating another new machine by the end of January.

While big groomers clear the trails after there’s over two feet of snow, a snow mobile pulls a small Ginzu groomer to clear trails when there are a few inches of snow and for touch ups.

But the 1992 Alpine twin track snow mobile is done, broken down with old parts that are no longer produced or available, McElheron said.

The club is replacing it with a brand new Bearcat XT Groomer Special, a 2016 Arctic Cat snow mobile that will pull the Ginzu groomer.

It has already applied for a grant towards the $17,000 machine and will cover the other costs from the club budget.

McElheron says the machines will benefit the club for the next 20 years, and the cost is

worth it.

“Better grooming equals better skiing!” he said.

it had to be modified slightly so it would fit along the 35-kilometres of trail at Onion Lake and in the shop where it will be stored.

Besides improving the experience of groomers, the new Snow-Kiti will also lower club costs and it can deal with up to 14 inches of ice and turn it into a groomed track.

McElheron said the club is grateful for all the support, particularly significant contributors like the District of Kitimat, Terrace Community Forest, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, and Northern Development Initiative Trust.

The club celebrated the arrival of the Snow-Kiti, as well as the season opening and Christmas, all-in-one at a public potluck dinner last Friday.

Last year’s bizarre weather, with January’s mild temperatures and snow-melting rain followed by February’s dump of snow, makes it hard to guess how this season will shape up.

“There’s just no predicting what kind of year we are going to have,” McElheron said.

Preparing to launch into the season, ski coaches took training and the young

New groomer arrives at Onion Lake Jackie Lieuwen The Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club opened its Onion Lake trails last week at the same time as it welcomed a new $291,188 Prinoth groomer.

Called Snow-Kiti after the District of Kitimat, which donated $85,000 toward the purchase, the new groomer is expected to last 20-30 years and replaces an older PistenBully 2000 which has now been auctioned off.

Club president Dan McElheron said there was some last minute fundraising to cap off a four-year effort to raise money for the new groomer, but the club “made it with a week to go.”

While the trails opened with nine inches of snow, the groomer won’t be used until the snow gets to two feet deep.

McElheron says there are “a bunch of excited groomers who can’t wait to get out there and groom.”

“That’s the other plus about having this new machine - they might be arm wrestling to see who gets to drive it,” he laughed.

Snow-Kiti has a slightly wider plow than the old PistenBully, and McElheron said

Export approval for Cedar LNG Cameron Orr A Haisla-owned proposal to ship out liquefied natural gas from the Douglas Channel has cleared its export licence, one of many steps towards having an operating facility.

The licence has to be formalized by the Governor in Council, but the National Energy Board has otherwise approved the application by Cedar LNG for a floating liquefaction plant to operate somewhere near Kitimat as of November 26.

The facility would be similar to AltaGas’ proposed LNG project,

where a floating bargelike structure would house the liquefaction facility.

While the volume of natural gas to export would be lower in both of those projects than the larger Kitimat LNG and LNG Canada, such projects have lower capital investment which works in favour of reaching operations.

Cedar LNG formed in mid-2014 and at the time the company was seeking three separate export licences.

Company CEO Dave LaVallie said that each of the float-

ing LNG facilities they hope to moor in the Douglas Channel can receive up to 400 million cubic feet per day of gas, and with up to perhaps five jetties serving the liquefaction vessels, he said the flexibility of the project lends itself to splitting up their operation under three export permits.

The project isn’t being run as a traditional LNG company compared to larger players, he said.

“We are just the midstream piece. It will be the customers who line up where they get the gas,” he said.

Supper heroes The Kitimat Community Supper Club held it’s Christmas dinner party on December 14, and were helped out in this event by the Kitimat Kinsmen Club, and Mayor Phil Germuth. Second from right is Sherry Brady who is the Supper Club’s head organizer.

The Kinsmen were also on a giving streak for the holidays too, giving $500 to the food bank, $500 to the food share program and $500 to Delta King Place.

Playground Continued from page 1 Some other challenges of installing a playground in Cable Car is that no matter where it’s located it will be challenging to access for a certain number of households.

Gibson countered that would not be a detriment to the parents, and even if some parents did choose to drive it would be far more convenient than going in to the town.

Councillors voted to proceed with a cost review for a playground installation in Cable Car for their 2016 budget.

Mario Feldhoff’s original motion specifically asked that staff review the ‘Option 2’ of the north end of Greyling Avenue.

Feldhoff said that location is the ideal choice of the three pre-selection.

Coho Avenue’s location is in an awkward shape and doesn’t have support of nearby homeowners he notes, and the other option near the river on Chinook would potentially limit future development if there is more expansion of Cable Car. Through amendments it was later opened up to include the third option on Chinook as well for review.

Staff’s report to council notes in 1993 there was an effort to install a playground in Cable Car as well, initiated by a letter from a homeowner.

The council of the time did accept the request in principle but the idea didn’t gain enough traction or homeowner support in the area and appeared to have quietly dropped off.

The idea most recently resurfaced in 2012 but there was little direct action taken on the matter except for a report that council received from staff.

Some airport travelling tips The Kitimat-Terrace Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry is encouraging travellers to travel smart over the holidays.

That means arriving early for flights, even before the airline's own guidelines if possible.

He also encourages travellers to allow extra time to find parking at the airport which can fill up at busy times.

If you're travelling with presents also make sure they're not wrapped to avoid challenges at the security check.

Six Marlins prove strength in Victoria Submitted The Kitimat Marlins swim club had six swimmers attend the largest invitational swim meet in BC over the weekend at Victoria.

Over 700 swimmers from across BC and Alberta were in attendance making for some extremely stiff competition. All events except the distance events (800m and 1500m freestyle) had A finals for the top eight qualifiers and B finals for the 9-to-16 place qualifiers which made for some fast racing for the Marlins which were able to make finals.

Competition in the 15 and over category was especially tough as there were many swimmers from university of Victoria and Simon Fraser University in attendance.

Zachary Dumas had a great swim meet with five northwest B.C. regional records (short course, 25 meter pool) in the 15 and over boys division. In the 200 fly Dumas lowered his own regional record by two seconds with a sixth place fin-

Six Marlins swimmers, (in no particular order) Zachary Dumas, Jayden Johnston, Kleanza Cathers, Laurence Boucher and Leah Desousa, and Ethan Velho, made ripples in Victoria. ish in the event. Dumas also placed sixth in the 400 Individual Medley with a time of 4:42 shaving two seconds off the old regional record held

by Mark Grossman from the Prince Rupert swim club in 2004.

In the 400 freestyle the old record was held by Kyle Nartz of the Terrace Bluebacks from 2000 with a time of 4:12.

Dumas shaved off three seconds with a time of 4:09 winning the B final.

In the 1500 meter freestyle Dumas finished seventh overall with a time of 16:34

shaving off eight seconds from former teammate Kyler Corderio from Kitimat in 2012.

Dumas also did a time trial in the 800 freestyle which he broke the regional record from Brian Dohler of Smithers from 2012.

Zacharies time of 8:47 shaved four seconds off the old record and would have been fast enough to place third in the event.

Dumas also placed 12th in the 200 IM, 14th in the 200 breaststroke and 16th in the 50 butterfly. Dumas also swam to personal

best times in all of his races.

Jayden Johnston, 11, in his first major competition competed in the 11-12 boys division. He exploded onto the scene with a third place finish in the 200 meter butterfly. It was his first time ever competing in the event.

In the final he was eighth place after the 100 meters but made his move on the second 100 meters to finish third. Johnston also made B finals in many other races placing ninth in 400 IM, 12th in the 100 fly and 200 back, and 14th in the 50 breast.

in the 100 backstroke, 12th in the 200 back, 13th in the 200 fly, 15th in the 400 IM. Laurence Boucher (15) broke some barriers in woman's swimming that many girls never reach. She went under 30 seconds for the first time in 50 free, under five minutes for the first time in 400 free, and under 10 minutes for the first time in 800 free.

Her best placing came in the 800 meter freestyle a 25th place finish. Boucher swam

Jayden also became the third Marlin this season to fully qualify for the AAA provincial championships by reaching the time standard in six events during the meet. (he needed to achieve the standard in three events to fully qualify.)

Johnston swam to personal best times in all his races.

Kleanza Cathers, 16, had her best placing in the 50 meter freestyle reaching the A final for 15 and over girls and placing seventh. She also made the B final in many events placing ninth in the 1500 free, 10th
