Fees for those wishing to opt out of the Smart Meter program have been approved by the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC). If you choose the radio-off option before upgrades begin there is a set-up fee of $60; but it is $88 for those who choose a radio-off meter after meter upgrades begin. There will be a bi-monthly perread fee of $18. *** Greenwood Winterfest organizer Andy Shelton is taking a break in 2014. “Sad to say we just can’t do it,” he told council. *** Demolition of the house on North Kimberley in Greenwood that has not been lived in since it caught fire in April 2003 was brought up by resident Bob Smith during a council meeting. “It is still standing there,” complained Smith. “It’s a hell of a mess—it’s not the only one in Greenwood but it’s the oldest one.” *** Leona Baird, postmaster at the Greenwood Post Office, retired after 25 years and two months of service. *** Greenwood City Administrator Robin Dalziel told council they should expect projects covered by Towns for Tomorrow and General Strategic Priorities Fund (GSPF) grants to come in over budget by some $28,000 to $30,000. He said the overruns were caused by a combination of errors made during planning and by the inclusion of a much-needed creek crossing. *** The Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Association elected Lincoln Blaine as president at its annual general meeting. There was considerable debate about the Ponderosa Music Festival, with nearby neighbours arguing the event was too loud and played too early into the morning to be consistent with community standards.
