Council Report

T his month I will report on the UBCM Conference held in Whistler from Sep-

tember 27th – Oct. 1st. Council met with various Provincial Minis-ters, some meetings were more productive than others but overall, I believe between the meetings and the resolutions brought forward by the District we were successful in our endeavours.

A brief was presented to the Minister of Fi-nance addressing the inadequacies of the Grant In Lieu presently paid by BC Hydro to the municipality. Dave Read from Aspen Communications had been hired by the Dis-trict to address this issue and report back to council. His report looked at other hydro grants that are presently being paid to other areas, as well as other industry communities that receive taxation from resource based companies. We have asked that the Minister look into this and report back to council in a timely manner.

We spoke with Northern Health regarding the doctor situation. We received no com-mitments, but they are still looking into a funding formal for physicians in rural north-ern communities. Rich Coleman, Minister of Housing and Social Development noted that we had missed grants from the last intake, and suggested that we get a plan in place and work with BC Housing to bring this pro-ject forward.

We asked the Ministry of Environment to look into mapping BC’s aquifers. Water is a big issue and we need to protect this valu-able resource.

Hudson’s Hope submitted five resolutions for consideration. The intent of all five were en-dorsed. The resolutions submitted advo-cated cell phone coverage in rural areas, mapping BC Aquifers, recommending that BC retain the 3 year term for elected officials vs. the suggested 4 year term, restore the core funding for emergency management, emer-gency social services and first responder training to the previous levels, and reinstate-ment of the mandate for BCUC.

The Bulletin 2 November 2010

Each year small communities meet and dis-cuss relative issues. It is always interesting to see that we generally face the same prob-lems and offer up suggestions to help one another with these issues. This year the top-ics focused on Doctor attraction and reten-tion, nuisance wildlife, maintenance of rural roads and thankfully we had no issues with the rave festivals that are happening in re-mote areas of the south eastern area of the province. These festivals are a huge strain on the local communities, their police force, and emergency services.

Six elected officials from the north now sit on the UBCM executive. This gives the north a huge voice at the provincial table.

Enough about politics! With the newly fallen snow my mind moves forward to the upcom-ing months of celebrations. Check out the arena schedule and support Minor Hockey by taking in a hockey game and supporting our local kids. Our events coordinator is working hard on Halloween activities, followed closely by the Remembrance Day celebration and soon the holiday season will be upon us. Please come out and enjoy these community activities.

Just a reminder that all council meetings are open to the public. Please come out and see what your council is doing for you.

SNOW REMOVAL

A t the Regular Council meeting held on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, the District

of Hudson’s Hope Council voted in favour of discontinuing the practice of having the pub-lic works crew provide snow removal ser-

vices to private residences. This change will take effect immediately.

The decision was based on the increased cost of providing this service, the amount of time that this program takes away from providing other essential services as well as potential liability issues for the District.

We recognize this program has been a long standing tradition within the community and as such, we are dedicated to investigating other means to assist those residents who truly require assistance with snow removal. A committee will be formed to provide recom-mendations to Council on this issue. Anyone interested in being part of this committee are requested to contact the District Office at 250-783-9901.

It has been suggested that other communities have managed this issue by developing a

The Arts and Cultural Society on the Edge

Would like to say a big

THANK YOU! To all those who came out supported our

annual fundraiser

Pie a la Mode And to those who graciously donated their

time and skills that helped make the event a success.

“Snow Angel” network, where residents who are truly in need of assistance with snow re-moval services are matched up with volun-teers to provide help to those in need. If you are willing to give some of your time this winter towards helping your neighbours with snow clearing, please contact us so we can form a list of volunteers for this program.

For those residents who are unable to physi-cally manage their snow removal require-ments, but can afford to pay someone, there are a number of local contractors available to provide this service. Many are advertised around town and a list of these service pro-viders will be available at the District Office.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Director of Public Works, Mike Carter, or the CAO, Charles Nash at the Dis-trict Office at 250-783-9901.

Ski Club

I T”S SNOWING!!! Perfect timing, as Ken Janzen of Janzen Enterprises has just

mowed the hill. Thanks so much Ken! Our Vice President, Ian, says they will hang the fly wheels? bull wheels? or whatever (glad he knows what he’s doing!) on the lift on the next nice day. So, if we get the snow and the safety permit, we just may be skiing, board-ing, sledding and tobogganing by Christmas.

Thanks so much to all the present and past ski club members who have never given up on making the Ski Hill a reality. Due to the closure of Freddy’s Deli, the Ski Club meet-ings will now be held at Forrester’s house @ 7:00 pm on the 4th Thursday of the month. Everyone is welcome. Thanks, Nedra.

Reviving The Spirit presents: Senior Moments

On November 19th & 20th, RTS will present our first ever comedy production, Senior Moments, a series of five funny, slightly offbeat, slightly naughty short

plays about seniors. Speaking about the overwhelming response to his play, playwright Donald R. Fried says, “It’s clear that the themes resonate with seniors and younger people alike. Most importantly, seniors love to laugh at them-selves, and nothing is taboo.”

Senior Moments will be interwoven with live musical interludes performed by

singer/songwriter Fred Bassett, who calls music “the song of our souls,” and sings about the people and places in the northwestern United States and western Canada that have touched him most deeply.

Tickets are $20, and are available at Marg’s Mini-Mart or by calling 783-5655. As is usual at RTS events, beverages are included. Senior Moments deals with ma-ture themes and is not suitable for children. We are always looking for new members. If you have any interest in theatre - from acting to set design…from costumes to ticket sales - we need you. Please call RTS at 783-5655 for more information about how you can get involved.

RCMP On October 1st police were called to three separate incidents involving two males on a dirt bike driving erratically on the highway. One male was wearing a helmet and the other was only wearing a baseball cap. The males traveled the highway toward Fort St. John, were driv-ing erratically in Jamieson subdivision and were also seen at Dinosaur lake. Patrols for the bikes were negative. On October 3rd police were dispatched to a complaint of an intoxicated female who was caus-ing damage to the inside of her residence. Police arrived and removed a very intoxicated fe-male. She was lodged into cells until she was sober enough to care for herself. On October 5th police were dispatched to an injury motor vehicle incident south of the Peace Canyon Dam. A Fort St. John male was located in his vehicle unconscious by another motorist and said he had fallen asleep. The male was transported to Chetwynd hospital to have his inju-ries treated. The male was issued a violation ticket for driving without due care. On October 5th police were conducting radar enforcement in the Hudson's Hope school zone when a vehicle traveled through the school zone at 102 km/h. Police pulled the vehicle over and spoke with a Chetwynd male who could not provide his drivers licence. With new legisla-tion that came into effect on September 20th the drivers vehicle was towed and impounded for seven (7) days for excessive speed. The male was also issued a violation ticket for excessive speed and failing to produce his drivers licence. On October 6th police received a report of an Impaired motor vehicle incident on Beryl Prairie Road. Information obtained was the male driver from Fort St. John was intoxicated and sped through the construction zone at a high rate of speed. When police arrived and approached the male he attempted to evade police for approximately 3 km. The male was arrested and charged with several criminal code offences. He was remanded into custody to appear in court and pled guilty to several of the offences including impaired driving, flight from police, and breach probation. He was sentenced to 60 days jail and received a years driving prohibition. On October 8th police were advised by security at Talisman Energy campsite off of Beryl Prairie road had located individuals with a controlled substance, marijuana. Police seized the drug and both males from Alberta lost their jobs as Talisman has a zero tolerance with drugs and alcohol. On October 10th police assisted the Hudson's Hope Fire Department with blocking the road near the arena, as a tree fell onto some power lines. These power lines were live and started a small grass fire. BC Hydro were very busy due to the wind storms in the region and power was restored later that night.
