New Trees in Town

You’ve probably noticed the new trees that have been

planted around town. We were able to do this project with

a grant from Tree Canada, sponsored by BC Hydro.

There are twenty trees total; ten Amur Chokecherry and

ten Mayday. They all have a stunning show of white

flowers in the spring. They are about fourteen feet tall

right now, but will reach a mature height of twenty-five to

thirty-five feet.

They have semi-permanent fences

around them just to protect them

from the deer. These will stay on

year round for three to five years,

but will be permanently removed at that time.

The green bags around their trunks are water bladder bags.

They have adjustable emitters on their underside and can

provide water to the tree root ball for up to 2 weeks.

A big thank-you to Jamie Eastman and Keith Reschke for

working hard to get this project completed.

The Bulletin 2 November 2014

District

It’s that time of year again! The flowers had a good year, but Fall is upon us. It

was an exciting season between drought, forest fires and evacuations! Despite all

the excitement our flowers made a beautiful display of colour and we received

many many compliments from the locals and the tourists. As usual there were a

few newcomers to the flower beds this year, as well as all the old favorites. Here’s

a list of my newest favorites, deer-proof and great performers.

Amaranthus or Love Lies Bleeding Clarkia (shade plant)

Coleus “Wizard” Mix (shade plant) Salvia “Flare”

Lobelia “Fountain” Mix Rudbeckia “Radiance”

Rudbeckia “Indian Summer” Snapdragon “Twinnie Peach”

Thank-you to everybody who takes the time to appreciate our work and give us all

those nice comments. I’ve always said I have the best job in the District and it’s

true! Having said that, I’m taking this opportunity to announce that I will be

retiring from grounds keeping this fall to stay home with my family. Again a great

big thank you to everybody who has been so kind and supportive to me over the

years. Also a huge thank-you to all my co-workers who made coming to work every

day so great. You guys are like a second family! I feel so lucky and so proud to

belong to such a wonderful community.

Street Lights

The District is working to repair all street

lights that are out. To help us, please let

us know if your street light is out. Metal

poles are the District’s and wood poles

are BC Hydro’s. We can then fix ours and

pass on the request to BCH to fix theirs.

If you can get the pole

number that would be

really helpful. Please

phone 250-783-9901

or email [email protected]

Garbage Cans

Now that the snow is upon us

it is important that garbage cans are left in your driveway,

as not to be in the way of the snowplows.

The Department of Public Works thanks you in advance for your

cooperation.

Library

Wow! That was a long two months of renovations!

We had to close the library for much longer than antici-

pated but thankfully we were able to open again for the

second half of October. Sadly our library programming

had to be cancelled for the month of October until we

had an indoor washroom facility. We will send a PSA

with the upcoming program times and start dates.

Hopefully the end of the renovation will go as planned and be completed by the

time this is printed! As it is right now we still have doors to install as well as our

accessible washroom and our workroom to complete and fill. It is looking gorgeous

though! Thank you so much to our Board, staff and volunteers for helping us

along the way. A big thank you to the volunteers for the BC Hydro Day of Caring

who contributed their own time to helping us out.

Much appreciation to all of our financial contributors which included a New Horizons

for Seniors grant (not to be confused with our own New Horizons), NPSCU, PRRD,

Butler Ridge, Omar Kirkeeng, Hudson's Hope Volunteer Fire Department, Stark

Safety and Wally and Lenore Harwood. Also thank you to the many local business

and personal donations, as well as your support during our fundraisers over the

last several years; without your contributions, many of the upgrades would not

have been possible.

We are also extremely appreciative for all of the effort made by Karlin Enterprises

(Wayne Karlin, James Falkmann and Russell McCracken), Rodney Rice

(Electrician) and Burton Middleton (Plumber). Thank you so much for everything

that you have done for us. The library is gorgeous!

Museum November at the Museum!!

On behalf of the Hudson’s Hope Historical Society, thank

you for supporting the Museum Expansion Fundraiser on

October 4, 2014. It was great night, over a 150 people

came out to support the Museum! Congratulations to Lynda

and Lee Luchinski for winning the Hellman Canoe!

Back in 2008, Olive Powell donated her family’s extensive

trophy collection to the Hudson’s Hope Museum. With

the assistance of Northern Guides, the majority of the

trophies were put into storage until the Museum could

come up with suitable display space. In the fall of 2013,

the museum received a donation from the Rutledge family

of a very well preserved log building located on the

Rutledge farm, which has the potential to resolve many

of the Hudson’s Hope Historical Society’s storage and

display needs. The plan is to move the building, build

a basement, and then renovate the structure at our

museum site. The Rutledge Heritage Building will be an

ideal venue to tell the history and story of Hudson’s Hope

and we are looking forward to telling it. If you would like

more information on the expansion or would like to help

with the project, please contact the Museum!

Thank you to all the volunteers that helped make the night such a wonderful event!! We

would also like to thank all the companies and people that donated items for the auction,

or the bucket draws!

The Next Historical Society meeting will be held on November 20th at St Peter’s Church

hall. Everyone is welcome at historical meetings. If you would like any further infor-

mation, please call the museum at (250) 783-5735 or by email at [email protected].

The Bulletin 18 November 2014

District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News Ambulance Update:

The Emergency Management Responder

(EMR) course which was scheduled for

October was cancelled—not enough par-

ticipants. So BC Ambulance will back up

and offer a shorter course to which they

already have people from other communi-

ties signed up. Rick Loucks, of BC Ambu-

lance, says he doesn’t know if there is

enough time to get new people hired be-

fore the November course starts, but he

will try.

You must have completed the paper-

work (includes criminal record check

and medical check-up) in order to be

hired, and it takes a bit of time to

get everything together.

NEW HIRE ORIENTATION COURSE

Thursday, Nov 6th to Sunday, Nov 9th

Successful completion of this course

qualifies individuals to be “Driver On-

ly” employees of BC Ambulance. If

you apply and are hired, this course

would be free.

Expected number: 6 or 7, maybe 8.

Apparently, BC Ambulance has candi-

dates from other communities already

registered who are waiting for this

course, so they expect this course to

go ahead.

Location: Nov. 6, 7 & 8th will be in

the basement of the District of Hud-

son’s Hope Office. Sunday, Nov 9th is

the driver training and will be at the

Hudson’s Hope airport, which will be

closed for that day.

Time: Workshop runs from 8:30-

4:30 all days.

For further information, contact: Rick

Loucks, Superintendent, North East

District, 250 719 6872; 250 239

Brenot / Lynx Creek Water:

If you’ve driven highway 29 going east,

you will have noted that Lynx Creek never

cleaned up this year. Water tests showed

high turbidity and levels of several heavy

metals outside accepted guidelines for

human or animal consumption. Turns out

there is a large slide on Brenot, which is a

tributary to Lynx Creek. Water was seep-

ing out of the bank in the area of the

slide. Above the slide the water on both

Brenot and Lynx is clear and tests show

all metals are within guidelines. The met-

als are in the sand that is being carried by

the water coming out of the bank. Con-

centrations of the metals are highest in

the water (sludge) coming from the top of

the slide and before it mixes with Brenot

water. From there, concentrations con-

sistently decrease going downstream.

The furthest downstream samples that

were taken is at the Lynx Creek Bridge.

At last sampling, they were still outside

the guidelines. The Health Advisory re-

mains that Brenot/Lynx Creek water be-

low the slide should not be used for irri-

November 2014 19 The Bulletin

District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News gation or human/animal consumption.

What’s Happening:

First sampling was taken just where Lynx

Creek flows out onto the plain about 4-5

km upstream from the Lynx Creek bridge.

Results from that prompted sampling (6

sites both upstream and downstream of

the Brenot slide) by provincial agencies

(Northern Health, Ministries of Environ-

ment and Forests & Lands. The District

also had samples at six different sites

taken and tested.

This is being written on Wednesday,

October 29th. Today in Victoria, any

people involved with the baseline water

data collection programs going on in the

Peace are meeting to share what they

have found so far and are making a plan

for where we go from here. Gilles

Wendling, hydro-geologist for the

Regional District water program, feels

that by the end of November he will have

a presentation suitable for a tour of the

Peace communities to explain what they

have learned. He’s aiming for the end of

November.

Street Lights:

Thank you for continuing to report burned

-out street lights. Replacement is way

behind and we apologize. There has

been a glitch in the system. We think it is

now resolved and crews will be replacing

the bulbs shortly – with LED hopefully!

Site C:

The Federal and Provincial governments

recently issued the Environmental Assess-

ment Certificates to BC Hydro for Site C.

You may have heard this morning that

those approvals have been challenged in

Court. I don’t know the steps involved

from here. The District is not involved

and no public funds are involved in the

court challenge.

East BC Realty Ltd for the generous donation of a set of pet oxygen masks. These

specially designed animal masks can be used both on conscious pets that have suffered from smoke inhalation and pets that need to be resuscitated after losing consciousness from exposure to the dangerous toxic fumes. Pets are an important part of our lives, and this donation greatly assists us in our efforts

to provide care for this beloved portion of our community.

Ski Hill News

I hope this little bit of snow has started everyone thinking about skiing. Good progress has been made at the ski hill to get ready for winter. Our tireless bushwhackers have been busy cutting new trails and brushing out old ones. The second ski run has been cleared that runs under the power-line on the other side of the lift. It is a bit lower gradient than the first run but offers some interesting bumps and hollows. We just need to put some pads on the power poles (and get some more snow). They have also been clearing a trail for cross-country ski-

ing or snowshoeing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer. One more section will

complete the loop. Thanks guys for all your hard work!! A huge thanks also goes out to our ever-reliable local businesses. Ken Janzen has once again mowed the grass on the hill, Omar Kirkeeng has installed a culvert and smoothed out some of the bumps on the new run and W6 has graded the

road. Thank-you so much for your time and equipment!! We now have some rental skis available at the hill. We sold 23 sets locally and the remainder will be used as rentals. We weren’t able to get junior skis from Powder King but are working on buying new

ones to be rented out and possibly helmets as well. We have had quite a few submissions to our logo

contest and will review them all at our next meeting Oct 30. Thanks to everyone who made submissions!!

I would like to extend a warm thank you to the following people for their ef-forts volunteering to help make the School Carnival a big success during the Fall Fair:

Kim Stacey, Lori Herrington, Amber Norton, Heidi Naisby, Kelly and Bella Lucas

-Jarnagin, Bob Norton, Dwylla & Cadyn Moraice Budalich, Janette Taylor, John McKeown & Tammy Anderson, Hudson's Hope Firefighters, Travis Winnicky,

Caroline Beam, Tanner Grabowski, Johnny Herrington, Rich Brown, Parker MacDonald, Ashley Thompson, Cutter Taylor, Justin Marini, Cindy Martin, The JCR's, Jade Rowe, Tess Herrington, and Jordan Brown.

I really hope I didn't miss any names! There were so many people who showed up to help (and I was busy getting "dunked" a fair bit myself). The Carnival was a great fundraiser for our school, and a lot of fun for our community. Thank you to everyone!

Sam2 by Scrap Art's Music: Our school enjoyed an amazing performance by these incredi-ble musicians. Sam2 provides a variety of musical melodies by using recycled materials to create percussion and wind instruments. Thank you to the many parents who joined us to watch and listen to these fantastic artists.

Terry Fox Challenge: Congratulations to our students who took on and surpassed Mr.

Beam's "Terry Fox Challenge". The student body was challenged to travel over 1000km in the name of Terry Fox. Students jogged, skipped, hula-hooped, dressed up in silly costumes, and much more to raise awareness and recognition for the Terry Fox Foundation. As a result of their efforts, the student body now gets to choose and vote for a song to have Mr. Beam dress-up and perform karaoke to!

Volleyball: Congratulations to our Junior-Senior Girls' Volleyball Team. They are off to an excellent start to the season, placing 3rd at a recent tournament against some very strong competition. Also, congratulations to our grade 5/6 mixed volleyball team. They have won their first two games and are showing excellent sportsmanship. They will be hosting some

home games on November 6th right after school. Keep up the great work!

Thank you to TACSOTE & "Jam at the Dam" for their generous donations to our music program. With your help, we have recently purchased a classroom set of ukuleles which

The Bulletin 34 November 2014

R C M P During the month of September, 2014, Hudson’s Hope RCMP detachment responded to 28 calls for service. Some incidents of note during this month are as follows: Sept. 9, during the evening, police located an impaired driver on Kyllo Street. The driver

made a wide, slow turn into the oncoming lane of traffic. The truck also had a headlight out and the cargo light in the box was on. Upon stopping the vehicle, and speaking to the

driver, it was evident that the driver had consumed alcohol. A road side breath demand was made. The driver provided two separate samples of their breath, each one into a different approved screening device. The result of each was a fail. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days and the driver was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition. The driver was also a New driver and had too many passengers in the vehicle.

Sept. 10, Hudson’s Hope Emergency crews responded to a Commercial vehicle collision on Highway 29 North of Hudson’s Hope. The driver had misjudged the speed going into a sharp corner and struck the concrete barrier. The dump truck landed on its side and blocked both lanes of the highway. The driver sustained minor injuries but the dump truck sustained severe damage. The driver was ticketed for Motor Vehicle Act violations.

Sept. 15, Hudson’s Hope Emergency crews responded to motorcycle collision at the Lynx Creek Bridge on Hwy 29. The inexperienced driver took the corner wide and possibly too fast thus striking the concrete barrier. The driver suffered injuries to their shoulder and

transported to the Fort St John Hospital by BC Ambulance crews. The motorcycle was damaged and towed.

Sept. 20, Hudson’s Hope Emergency crews responded to a commercial vehicle roll over on the Farrell Creek Road. The tractor and trailer had rolled while in the 12 km corner on the road. The tractor and trailer ended up in the ditch and severed a power pole. The driver sustained minor injuries. BC Hydro was called to fix the damaged pole. Sept. 22, Police responded to a report of an impaired driver on the Core Road. The vehicle was located on the 23 km point on the Beryl Prairie Road. The driver was exhibiting symp-

toms of intoxication. The driver was detained for impaired driving and a demand was made to provide samples of breath into an approved roadside screening device. The driver provided two samples of breath to the officer. The result each time was a “fail” The driver was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition and the vehicle was impound-

ed for 90 days.

Sept. 23, Police responded to a report that a male was breaching his conditions of release. The suspect’s vehicle was spotted by the responding officer. The officer attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver fled away at a high rate of speed through the residential area of Beryl Prairie. A member of the public waved over the officer near Canyon Drive and pointed to where the truck had fled. The officer located the truck hung up on a bank down a gas line access trail. The driver fled through the bushes on foot. The passenger had stayed with the truck. The RCMP police dog was called to assist. The driver had

returned to the scene and was arrested for breaching bail conditions. RCMP police dog services located two rifles hidden in the bushes close by the truck. One of the rifles was loaded. The driver was eventually released to attend court for the breach of his conditions.

The truck impounded for excessive speeding and the driver was issued tickets for numerous charges under the Motor Vehicle Act for his driving. Sept. 29, Hudson’s Hope Emergency crew responded to a single vehicle

collision on Highway 29. The driver had fallen asleep and went off the road and down an embankment. The vehicle came to a stop about 75 feet from the highway. The driver was transported to Fort St John Hospital as a precaution as was complaining about back pain. 5 Motor Vehicle collisions, 2 animal complaints, and 4 driving complaints (2 being ATVs being

driving on the public roads)

A reminder, that it is illegal to operate a quad, ATV or snow mobile on public highways or roads. Fines may be issued for no insurance ($598) and depending on how the vehicle is being operated; the driver can be charged with “Stunting” (Drive without Consideration or Drive without Due Care $196-$368) The vehicle can be impounded and towed. Please use common sense and safety when operating any of these off road vehicles.

Winter Driving new signs and requirements: This year, new signs have been set up on most major highways and routes that require winter tires or Mud and Snow tires. These “Designated Winter Tire Routes” are marked by signs. October 1 - March 31. Must Use Winter Tires/(cars and pick-up trucks) M+S or mountain/snowflake designation/(commercial trucks) Must carry chains Minimum legal requirements: Tires labelled with mountain/snowflake or M+S (Mud and

Snow) symbols are legally accepted on provincial highways that require winter tires. Winter tires, to qualify as legal, must have at tread at least 3.5mm deep. Between October 1 and March 31, all passenger vehicles / pick-up trucks are required to use M+S or mountain/snowflake tires on most major highways. Although it is not required, it is a good idea to carry chains for extreme weather. This includes out of province vehicles and rental vehicles. Studded tires up to 3.5mm are permitted on BC highways from October 1 and April 30. Use of studded tires outside of this period may result in a fine.

Commercial vehicles are required to carry chains on sections of most major highways. How will I know when a section of highway requires vehicles to have winter tires or carry chains? Sections of highways requiring winter tires or chains on board are marked with road signs. Should you choose to go beyond that point without the proper equipment, you may be turned around by RCMP, CVSE or another policing agency, and subject to a fine. If you are

involved in a collision in a designated winter tire route, where somebody is injured or killed

then there may be risk for civil liability or criminal charges such as Criminal Negligence. For more information pertaining to the winter tire requirements and winter driving tips, you can look online at http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter.html

Special Occasion License Permits Applications: The Hudson’s Hope RCMP are requiring at least two weeks between the time the

application is made and the date of the planned event. Any applications brought in under the two week time frame may not be approved or endorsed. Proper planning leads to a smoother running event that can be thoroughly enjoyed.

The Bulletin 36 November 2014

What is a Winter Tire?

British Columbia accepts “mountain snow-

flake” or “mud and snow” tires with at least

3.5 mm tread as winter tires.

Check your tires for these signs:

The mountain/snowflake symbol on the

side of the tire

These winter tires offer the best traction on

snow and ice, and in cold weather.

The mud and snow symbol on

the side of the tire

These winter tires offer better traction than

summer tires, however, they are less

effective than mountain/snowflake tires on

snow and ice, and in cold weather.

3.5 mm tread

Tires must have 3.5 mm of tread remaining

to be considered winter tires.

Matching Winter Tires

You must have at least 2 matching winter

tires on the same axle, but it is recommend

using 4

Studded Tires

May be used on BC highways from October

1 to April 30, but must have mountain/

snowflake or M+S symbols to be considered

winter tires.

Drivers in some parts of the southern coast, where regulations are more relaxed due to warmer weather, should use discretion when equipping their vehicles.

When are Winter Tires or

Chains Right for Me?

Winter tires and chains can make your

vehicle safer.

You must use winter tires (passenger

vehicles) or carry chains (commercial trucks)

between October 1 and March 31

on most BC highways.

British Columbia's climates range from freezing cold to pleasantly mild in the winter; equipping your vehicle appropriately depends on what you are driving and where you are driving.
