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. Lannie Rhymer Groundskeeper

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!!

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!

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.
November 2014 35 The Bulletin
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.
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.
More winter driving tips can be found at the below link. http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter.html
