Council is pleased to introduce and

welcome our new Chief Administrative

Officer, Tom Matus, who comes to us from

a similar position in Tuktoyaktuk, NWT.

Tom, wife Charo, and daughters Megan,

Samantha and Candela arrived at the

beginning of October and are impressed by

our fall weather. (So are we!) Tom

reports that the family is feeling at home

and that this has been an easy transition

for the girls, who have settled into school

and quickly found friends.

Welcome Tom and family.

Library What a lovely extended fall we have had this year! I hope you

have completed your preparations for winter and have been able

to enjoy the fantastic warm days that we have been having!

On Wednesday November 27th, Library Club will run from 2:30 until 3:30 pm due to

an early dismissal from the school. The library will also be closed Monday

November 11th to honour Remembrance Day.

Take a look at our NEW website launching on November 4th! Our library was

chosen as one of two libraries from BC to participate in the pilot project for the new

BC Public Library websites and we are extremely happy with the way the website

has turned out. The website combined with the new catalogue format has resulted

in a very user friendly and helpful resource for our community. The new website will

be accessible from the previous link at http://hudsonshope.bclibrary.ca and for a

time will automatically reroute to the new website at:

http://hudsonshope.cmss.libraries.coop Come on by and take a look at the new

website!

The North East Library Federation (NELF) has implemented an agreement that al-

lows items to be placed on hold for patrons throughout our region. This is different

from our alternate Inter Library Loan (ILL) system, in that this is a patron directed

request, rather than your item being requested by one of our librarians. This

means that you just go on to our website and sign in to your library account and

you can put a hold on a book from any of the seven participating libraries. You just

make a couple of clicks of your mouse and then wait to be notified that your book

has arrived! So you can request books from other libraries either through your

computer or through your local librarian.

Back at the beginning of summer, Canada Post also updated their policy and has

now agreed that the library shipping rate is now applicable to audio books and

DVDs. We have had some success in lending and obtaining these items, but please

keep in mind that some libraries have not yet updated their policies to allow these

loans outside of their own library patrons. We are trying our best to get these

items for you as you request them, but due to these policies, your requested items

may be delayed.

Wednesday 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Keep an eye on your mail box, as our library will be sending out a patron

satisfaction survey in the near future. Extra copies will be available at the library

once the survey is circulated. Your completed surveys can be dropped off inside the

library during regular business hours in an anonymous drop box, or after business

hours in to our book drop shoot. We are hoping that your feedback will help us to

better our services to you.

On November 30th, the Hudson’s Hope Public Library is pleased to present a reading

of a Christmas Carol. A great way to kick off this holiday season!

District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News Thank you, Talisman

On behalf of the community, I would like to

thank Talisman Energy for coming to the aid of one of our citizens who was badly mauled by a grizzly earlier this month. The incident occurred fairly close to Talisman's operations and the company representative was able to quickly arrive on the scene,

treat, and arrange air transport within a very short time. Had that medical attention not been available, we understand the man most certainly would have lost his life as travel

time for our Hudson's Hope attendants was more than the patient could have withstood. It provides peace of mind to know that in case of great need, our industrial neighbours are able and willing to lend their services.

Ambulance

We continue to work with BC Ambulance to ensure we can get the best service possible

using the current system in BC. As I've mentioned before, we have an active Health Services Committee comprised of representatives from various industries and First Nations in the area. This committee spear-headed the successful effort to re-

cruit a resident physician in Hudson's Hope. One of our next priorities will be to improve ambulance service. To that end, a representative of BC Ambulance will attend the next meeting. By harnessing the en-ergy of all participants, we hopefully will be

able to improve ambulance service in the community and the area.

Points from Energy Conferences

I was able to attend three energy confer-ences this fall. Points of interest to us in Hudson’s Hope:

Panel Discussion: Spectra VP, BC Hydro President, Apache Gas President, Trans-Canada Pipeline VP This was moderated by Senator Richard Neufeld, who now chairs the Natural

Resources Committee in the Canadian Senate.

The United States is now the largest

energy producer in the world. Presently 50% of BC natural gas is exported to the US. Very soon, the US

won’t need any BC gas. Either we find another market, such as Asia, or gas production in BC will be severely cut back.

The US is already exporting into

eastern Canadian provinces.

There’s shale gas all over the world.

Gary Weillinger, Vice-president of Spectra Energy, says natural gas will not be going back up to $13 anytime soon. It’s more likely to hover around $4.00.

I asked two questions: Q. If the BC government’s plans materialize, Hudson’s Hope is in line for intensive shale gas development, three major pipelines, a coal mine, and Site C.


District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News Project teams come to Hudson’s Hope to talk about their individual projects. None of the proponents know anything about

other projects or how the impacts are accumulating. I asked the panel to comment on how they thought cumulative impact ought to be dealt with. A. All agreed that only the province can deal with cumulative impact. BC Hydro

president, Charles Reid, said local government must keep pushing for the provincial government to lead cumulative impact assessment. Q. There is a debate about whether hydro

or natural gas should be used for new generation. Comment please. A. Spectra VP – We should supply the power for our industry. Advantages of gas generation: can be built near the load center, it complements

renewables, etc. There should an independent tribunal to assess the net benefits of each. A. Apache – Gas plants are cheaper to build and the payback is sooner.

Hydro President – ‘Lots of people think Hydro is opposed to gas generation but that’s not true. Hydro is restrained by the province and is not even allowed to use the gas generating plant they have now (Burrard Thermal), except for emergencies.

Hydro would be happy to use gas where it makes sense.

Domestic Demand for Natural Gas

Peter Schriber, Pacific Natural Gas, said

that residential demand for natural gas is down and there is fluctuating industrial demand. They must expand their market. They’re trying to leverage the pipelines they have but rather than build new pipelines, it’s often cheaper to compress

natural gas and haul it by truck instead of building a new line. That makes economic sense up to about 200 km. Beyond that, pipelines or LNG is more economic. PNG has applied to deliver CNG from Dawson Creek to Tumbler.

Stewart Port

Stewart is located at the end of the Portland Canal. Ted Pickell, well-known in the Peace Region, is developing a port

there. It is the most northerly ice-free port and the closest to proposed LNG development. They hope to specialize in delivering pipe for pipelines. Phase I construction is finished. Phase 2 is started

and is expected to be finished by January 1, 2016.

Things are humming right along at the ski hill. We have built a new bottom

station, which is now in place, wired and hooked up. The power shed at the top is

now insulated and heated. Most of the contouring of the hill has been done. A

fence at the bottom was built but a temporary one still needs to be set up at the

top. Most of the painting that will be done this year is finished (the weather has

been very cooperative). We have a few more minor things to do then the next big

step is passing the inspection from the Safety Authority. He is scheduled to visit

the second week of November. Once we have passed and have all our ducks in a

row, we are open for business. Oh yeah, we need snow too, but not just yet.

On October 4th, 2013, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon

visited Hudson’s Hope School. She spoke to our students and

community about the role of the Lieutenant-Governor, and

shared her plans for her five year term. After she spoke, she

took the time to shake hand with every elementary student.

She spoke personally to each child, and paid particular close

attention to a Grade 1 student’s cowboy boots. The Lieutenant-

Governor, after all, is a long-time BC rancher.

Lt. Governor Guichon also took special note of the Sparks’ and

Brownie’s badges. After greeting the students, the Lieutenant-

Governor took part in a community luncheon in the Student

Commons area.

How to teach appropriate behaviour to the students is

something that all schools have to consider. Some schools take

a reactive approach, dealing with inappropriate behaviour after

the fact: “Hey, no running in the hallways! You just earned

yourself a detention, mister!” The problem with reactive

approaches to discipline is that they only teach what is “bad”

behaviour, and don’t teach students what appropriate behaviour

looks like.

That’s why, at Hudson’s Hope School, we prefer to take a

proactive approach to student behaviour — we teach students

what appropriate behaviour looks like, and provide them with

older student mentors to demonstrate that behaviour.

One of the ways we do this is through our Code of Conduct

Days, days where older students plan, teach, and demonstrate

the behaviours we want our all our students to follow.

Our most recent Code of Conduct day was held on Thursday,

September 26th. A big thanks goes out to our Grade 6, 7, and

10 classes, as well as Ms. Ackroyd, for the hard work that went

into planning and carrying out this day!

Congratulations to our newest Jr. Volunteer Firefighter, Kyle

Jones. Kyle has joined the Beryl Prairie Hall and will be learning many

valuable skills while earning work experience credits towards high

school graduation. A big thanks to the volunteer firefighters for

supporting our students with this program.

I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to some recent volunteers who

are making a difference in our school and community:

Pastor Tim Viers has volunteered to coach an elementary volleyball team.

Mrs. Sybil Quebec has volunteered to teach a Community Choir.

Mrs. Roserio (Haro) Lloret has volunteered to teach Spanish & French.

Ms. Jacelynne Stacey has volunteered to run a Drama Club, as well as provide

support for our upcoming Christmas Concert.

Our students enjoyed a wonderful performance recently by a hip-hop group called

"Metaphor". This performance group taught us about the history, elements, and lessons

involved with the hip-hop genre. More importantly, they were FUN. Our students were

keen participants (actually some teachers and a principal did some dancing as well). I

was very pleased to see Brandon Howard, Joey Poirier, Curtis Dupuis up on the stage

making up "freestyle raps". Great work HAWKS!

Our school has been very active in the volleyball circuit

so far this year. Mr. Brent Heiberg has been

volunteering countless hours and weekends coaching

both Junior and Senior Girls' volleyball teams. The Girls

have been very competitive, and recently placed 5th out

of 10th in a Chetwynd tournament. We also have a mid-

dle school girls volleyball team, and an elementary mixed

volleyball team. It's wonderful to see so many students

getting out and enjoying this sport.

Steve Slade "Yukon Musician" is booked to work with our students on November

26th. This talented musician will be working with classes to create unique songs, and

teach student about song writing. He also teaches introductory harmonica, which we

are considering trying out as well (hmm, I can hear the relaxing sounds in the halls

already).

Roger Birk Memorial Donation. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to the Birk family

for their donations to our school. In honour of Roger, they have donated $500.00 to our

"No Child Left Behind" fund in order to ensure that students in financial need receive

support to pursue athletic and social activities. In addition, they have donated $600.00

to purchase new jerseys for our high school basketball team. Thank you to the Birk

Family for supporting our school and providing opportunities for our students to excel in

sports activities.

On September 26th, 2013 there was joint enforcement effort the local RCMP and

Conservation Services (CO’s) located out of town hunters hunting without firearms

licenses. These people had their firearms seized and are facing numerous

Violations with the CO’s service.

On September 29th, 2013 Police were called to a 911 call out at a local residence.

Police attended and found out some youth thought it would hilarious to call 911 to

see what happened. Police were not amused as this takes away precious

resources from other matters. For information sake, there is a charge under the

Criminal Code for calling 911 when the caller knows they are wasting

emergency services resources. This can lead to a Criminal Charge. Food for

thought in case anyone else thinks it’s HILARIOUS.

On September 29th, 2013 Police were on the Peace River for BC Rivers Day

celebration to ensure that the boaters were safe. The members also attended the

celebration and enjoyed some fellowship and delicious Corn on the Cob.

On September 29th, 2013 Police were notified of stolen property. A trailer and a

generator were taken from a work site in Hudson’s Hope. The trailer and

generator were located soon after the call to police, not far away. Case closed.

On September 30th, 2013 Police were called to a tractor trailer roll over at the

Farrell Creek ‘S’ turn. The trailer was carrying Condensate and the Highway was

closed down so the tractor trailer could be removed.

On October 5th, 2013 Police were called to a possible drug overdose. Police and

Ambulance worked in unison to ensure proper information and care was being

relayed to one another. The person was saved and brought to the Fort St John

Hospital.

On October 7th, 2013 Police received a call stating that there were cows blocking

the highway. Police attended the T-Bone blockade (sirloin stampede?) and

ensured that the cows were moved off of the highway.

On October 7th, 2013 Police were called to an explosion at a natural gas rig. After

an investigation it was determined that it was an industrial accident and no

criminal charges are being pursed. The investigation is on-going with Work safe

BC.


On October 10th, 2013 Police were called to an abandoned 911 at

the WAC Bennett Dam. Once again, the security ninjas were able

to assist the police in locating where the call came from. The call

ended up being false as no one needed assistance, but rest

assured, the paladin ninjas were ready to provide stealthy

assistance should it have been required.

On October 10th, 2013 Police were called to a possible break and enter at a

residence. A friend of the home owner noticed that a window was smashed inside

the residence. Upon attendance the window was smashed from the inside and no

entry was gained. Nothing was taken.

On October 12th, 2013 Police were called to possible poaching in progress at a ranch

North of town. Police attended and were unable to locate the poachers but located

some evidence. The CO’s attended the next day and there are possible charges as

a suspect has been identified.

On October 13th, 2013 (Turkey day) there was a hit and run involving a Semi Truck

and a pickup truck. The pickup truck drove away without providing any of their

information.

On October 21st , 2013 Police were called to an assault on a rig site. Charges are

being sought against both participants.

On October 25th , 2013 Police were called to a worksite assault. No one was

seriously injured but charges are being sought.

On October 26th, 2013 there was a Halloween Dance at the Community Hall.

Everyone behaved themselves. Some people were escorted home for their own

well being. I have to say after being in the community for a few years this was the

best turn out for costumes.

On October 29th, 2013 another bovine blockade was reported on then Farrell Creek

road. Police attended to ensure that the porterhouse protest was mooooooooved

along and resolved without issue.

1-800-222-TIPS (8477)


Another garden season is done, and it

turned out to be a good one for the town

flowers despite a very wet and cold

summer. Thank-you so much to

everyone who took the time to stop and

say how nice the flowers look. We

appreciate all the nice comments!

There were a few newcomers to the

flower beds this year. Some succeeded,

and some did not. Here is a list of

flowers that performed well this year and

did not get eaten by deer.

The staff at the District of Hudson’s Hope would like to remind

residents to please put their garbage in secure garbage

containers. This will help keep animals out of the garbage, and

our streets clean.

Tips for keeping garbage off your lawn:

Put all refuse in a garbage bag.

Ensure the weight of the bag does not exceed 22kgs.

Place garbage bag into a garbage container that has a

secure lid.

For more information about Garbage Collection in Hudson’s Hope,

please see Bylaw No. 758.

Thanks again! See you next spring!

Monthly Field Studies Summary: November 2013

The Site C Clean Energy Project is currently undergoing a cooperative

environmental assessment by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency

(CEA Agency) and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO), which

includes a Joint Review Panel process.

BC Hydro filed its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in January 2013 as part of

this process and in August 2013, the CEA Agency and the BCEAO determined that

BC Hydro's amended EIS was satisfactory. BC Hydro has now entered the Joint

Review Panel stage.

BC Hydro is continuing to conduct environmental and engineering field studies on

and around the Peace River between the Williston Reservoir and the Alberta border

to inform detailed mitigation planning, prepare project permits, and ensure

information is gathered with respect to monitoring programs proposed in the EIS.

This notice provides a list of field work planned for November 2013. Helicopters

may be required for some of the work listed below. Current and previous field study

activities are available at bchydro.com/sitec and in the Community Consultation

offices in Fort St. John and in the Pearkes Centre in Hudson’s Hope.

Regular and ongoing BC Hydro work may also be taking place on the Peace River

and tributaries related to BC Hydro’s Peace River water licence requirements or

other operations work.
