WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY 2014-2015 Winter Season

During the 2014-2015 winter season, please be aware that the Village of Port Alice does not remove snow and/or ice from the public sidewalks in the village. When the sidewalks and/or footbridges are covered with snow and/or ice they are very slippery. Please use extreme caution when walking on them. Under the policy the Public Works Crew is directed to clear the footbridges only , and only after the major roads and streets have been cleared.

We regret this inconvenience brought on by forces of nature, and remind you to use extreme caution when using the sidewalks and footbridges during the winter, and that you are doing so at your own risk. This notice is published in accordance with Village of Port Alice Sidewalk & Footbridge Maintenance Policy Code No. 4.3.b.

Winter Road Conditions The Village of Port Alice would like to remind residents that winter road conditions will quickly be upon us. On the North Island that can mean:

heavy rain,

December 2014 4 Rumble Sheet

Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle With all the advertising in the media about impaired driving everyone should know not to drive their car or truck while under the influence. But what about other conveyances?

There are quite a few ways to run afoul of the impaired legislation. Section 253 of the Criminal Code starts out with “Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle, or vessel, or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft...while...impaired by alcohol or a drug.” Lets examine the motor vehicle portion of that. A motor vehicle is defined as a vehicle that is drawn, propelled or driven by any means other than muscular power, but does not include a vehicle of a railway that operates on rails.

A moment of thought can come up with all sorts of motor vehicles. Forklifts, snowmobiles, golf carts, mopeds, earthmovers, skidders, backhoes, lawn mowers, tractors, combines, electric wheelchairs and more. The list is only limited by our ability to put a motor on it.

A person might be tempted to comment that most of the examples in the previous paragraph don’t normally operate on a highway. Well, neither do vessels or aircraft and it is an offence to operate them while impaired. In fact, being on a highway doesn’t even enter into the picture. It is possible to be con-victed for doing circles in your backyard on a snowmobile in January or zooming down the fairway in a golf cart in June if you are impaired.

A closer reading of the section will even show that a person can be convicted of impaired operation with a blood alcohol content less than .08!

If you are going to consume alcohol or take prescription or non-prescription drugs consider carefully before you operate any conveyance with a motor.

The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, visit drivesmartbc.ca.

Better at Home

Recognizing a Growing Need . . .

Seniors are an important and growing part of our communities, and their active involvement enriches everyone’s lives. To ensure that seniors continue to play an active part in our communities, they often need support to live independently in their own homes, surrounded by friends, families and neighbours.

Better at Home helps seniors with simple day-to-day tasks, thereby helping seniors maintain their independence and stay connected with their community.

A range of non-medical home support services The specific services offered by Better at Home reflect the different needs of each community. Examples include:

Friendly visiting Transportation to appointments Light yard work Minor home repairs Snow shoveling Light housekeeping Grocery shopping

The success of this program depends on two important factors: People who are willing to volunteer Seniors who wish to access the service
