The service was intended to allow people til midnight. Driver Linda Turner remarked, “Absolutely no one has any excuse this New Year's Eve to drink and drive." UBCM achievements — and fees For every letter or report, there’s a bottom linc. And a "timely" letier from the Union of B.C, Municipalities to "express a special welcome to the many newly elected officials" following recent municipal elections, is no different than any other letter or report. The letter begins with a shot at nationalistic pride: "In the wake of the first triennial/three-term elec- tion we can reflect that democracy has again been served." Follows with: "It is also timely to reflect on what we in local government have achieved collectively through UBCM and what are some of the major issues we must tackle — escalate together in 1991." And closes, somewhere in the very fine print, with a notice of the member's 1991 dues, annual dues that are 15. percent more than last year’s dues. In 1990, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine paid $2,685, For 1991, the bil! is $3,090. The board of directors accepted the increase but will be, noting "displeasure" when they pay the bill. Kitimat director Ray Brady questioned the need for an increase: "As I recall the UBCM budget in September it was not in bad shape. Dues have to be paid but we should let them know that we take some dis- pleasure in a 15 percent increase." Terrace’s Benita Chapdelaine (second from left) was one of five B.C. residents who received Solicitor General of Canada "National Crime Prevention Awards’ in Surrey recently. Benita is a drug and alcohol counsellor at the Kermode Friendship Centre and spends many volunteer hours soliciting the support of local business to help achieve her goal of inspiring young people to succeed in their endeavors.
