Bridge speed dips prompt review

By Jessica Klymchuk Eagle Valley News

District staff will be assessing the need for the speed dips on either side of the Solsqua Bridge over the Eagle River.

At last Wednesday’s council meeting, operations manager Randy Hand recommended the speed dips not be removed while council members had conflicting opinions about the speed deterrents.

Coun. Terry Rysz said the speed dips don’t slow traffic down because they are too far

away from the bridge.

“By the time people cross the bridge they’re doing 40 kilometres per hour,” said Rysz.

“What I seem to see is that (the speed dips) don’t serve a purpose at all.”

Rysz says he crosses the bridge up to ten times a day and sees the daily traffic habits over the bridge.

He said if the speed dips were serving their purpose then he would support their staying in, but since they don’t they should be removed. He said at this time all they are

Kyllo officially resigns Newly elected MLA Greg Kyllo has officially resigned from Sicamous council.

doing is putting wear and tear on people’s vehicles and suggested speed signs would work better.

Coun. Joan Thomson agreed that the speed dips are too far away from the bridge.

Coun. Charlotte Hutchinson said people ignoring the speed dips should not be a reason to take them out. She said any preventative measure should be taken because there is not funding to replace the bridge if it is compromised due to speeding.

Coun. Don Richardson said the speed dips are for slowing

down logging trucks and regular traffic doesn’t necessarily compromise the bridge. However, he said there could be consequences if the dips are removed and the issue becomes worse.

Council voted that staff assess alternative options for speed reduction and the possibility that the current traffic speeds are slow enough.

In 2007 deterioration of the bridge prompted the installation of the speed dips, with an estimated replacement cost of $3 million.

Alberta flooding affecting Sicamous economic recovery Déja vu: Last year’s Shuswap flooding hurt business; this year, Albertan traffic hampered by high water.

By Jessica Klymchuk Eagle Valley News

The Shuswap felt the ripple of flood waters last week. The devastation felt in Alberta trickled to B.C., even without its own overflows.

The Trans-Canada Highway was closed east of Banff for almost a week due to flooding, halting travel until June 26. Tourism took a hit and concerns are that the effects could extend through the summer.

Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton is optimistic, however.

“I think we have some concern about it but it’s a little bit premature to say,” said Trouton.

He said because the flood hit on a weekend that isn’t normally busy he doesn’t think Sicamous was greatly affected. Sicamous could likely be a retreat for victims and could still see a great summer, he said.

Salmon Am Mayor Nancy Cooper said she thought the flooding will have a large negative effect on Salmon Arm. “I’m worried that it’s going to be a difficult summer but we might just have to wait and see,” said Cooper, adding that any way to reach out to Southern Alberta is encouraged.

Robyn Cyr, Shuswap Tourism manager at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, said the Shuswap is more closely tied to Calgary than to Vancouver.

“In the Shuswap we have a lot of people who call Calgary their home,” Cyr said.

Tourism halted while

the highway was closed and there is a likely possibility that Albertans will choose not to travel as they deal with recovery.

“My sense right now is that people aren’t going to travel,” Cyr said.

“It’s a big hit on our tourism industry here.

We had a very bad July last year and it’s another hit again so it’s not good.”

Immediate effects were felt in the hospitality industry with people cancelling reservations.

Resort, also said it felt a loss in revenue when the flood hit. A number of bookings cancelled starting Thursday through to Wednesday when the highway reopened. She said about 10 per cent of the Prestige’s business was lost overall and added it was not as busy as it normally is heading into the July long weekend.

Cyr said the houseboating companies felt less of an impact while the highway was closed but Waterway House-

I think we have some concern about it but it’s a little bit premature to say.

Darrell Trouton Sicamous mayor

Cindy Martynuik, manager at the Podollan Inn, said the inn lost 23 per cent of its reservations on Thursday, June 20, when the flooding hit hard and the highway closed.

She said the inn continued to lose five to seven reservations per day as well as one tour bus booking. Martynuik said all the cancellations were from Calgary and she thinks it was a significant impact on revenue.

“It’s not just about the accommodations, it’s about the fact that people aren’t here to spend money in the restaurants and they aren’t doing the activities,” Cyr said.

Read Reuse Recycle

boat manager Neil Millar said Waterway did see a drop in bookings.

“Where it affected us most and probably will continue is the bookings that we would be taking now going forward,” said Millar.

“The minute the flood hit our bookings basically dried up.”

Millar said it’s very unpredictable since people wait much longer to book as it is, so

houseboating won’t see the full effects until the season is over. Two bookings cancelled while others were able to reschedule.

Millar said Waterway was proactive about highway closures and notified guests of alternate routes and the highway reopening.

Cyr said there was a fine line between hyping up tourism and being respectful of the Shuswap’s suffering neighbours.

She decided not to launch a marketing campaign to draw Albertans to the drier Shuswap.

“I find that quite tasteless,” Cyr said, adding she reached out to Tourism Calgary to see if there were ways to help.

The Salmon Arm Visitor Centre was busier than normal while the highway was closed, coordinator Janice Dewitt said. Staff were busy helping travellers make alternate travel plans through Alberta and most were just passing through.

As for the rest of the summer, the number of Alberta licence plates the Shuswap will see is unpredictable.

“Time will tell; at this point we don’t know,” said Cyr.

Province’s laws keeping drunk drivers off road

O

ften we hear people complaining about the justice system, how our laws are ineffective, lax, or cumbersome. Often they are right.

But sometimes a law comes along that really creates substantial change in society and, rightfully deserves recognition for helping to protect citizens of all stripes.

Such in the case with B.C.’s drinking and driving legislation, which is among the toughest in the country.

Statistics on the first 30-months of B.C.’s immediate roadside prohibition program indicate the drinking and driving death toll has been cut in half.

That equates to 143 lives saved.

Think of the ripple effects —that 143 families that have not been ripped apart by tragedy. That’s 286 parents who have not lost their son or daughter. That’s countless family and friends who are not in mourning. That’s 143 fewer impaired drivers that must wind their way, at taxpayers’ expense, through the justice system.

Not only has the B.C. program proven successful in their province, results like these are making it harder for other jurisdictions to ignore. It’s pretty hard to reject a policy that has kept 143 additional people alive The roadside prohibition program came into effect in 2010. Since then, the B.C. government has struck down part of the law in order to strengthen the rights of accused impaired drivers. Regardless, other provinces are now looking at similar laws, and would, hopefully, also see their impaired driving fatality rates cut in half.

This confirms that more British Columbians are taking the law seriously and ensuring they are sober when behind the wheel. That’s real justice.

Clark resumes Campbell arrogance

By Tom Fletcher News Columnist

VICTORIA – Call it the Beach Blanket Budget.

Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.

This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.

Second, it ensures that there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside.

B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former premier

Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spending.

This was a serious reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.

I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books.

Open, accountable government and all that. So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s Horgan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting: “You ran on a platform that you claimed you were

ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February.’”

Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always projections, so that can’t be determined until next year.

But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.

During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product.

V9R 2R2.For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org

Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.

This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.

That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales. You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Act and the Community Charter, NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the District of Sicamous will hold a PUBLIC HEARING in Council Chambers, District Office, 446 Main Street, Sicamous, B.C. on Wednesday, July 10th, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. to consider the following applications Seasonal Temporary Use Permits.

Proposal: To facilitate the influx of tourists and visitors, there is a need for accommodations in the form of short term camping and recreational vehicle space. Unfortunately, the District currently lacks such short term public camping or recreational vehicle facilities within the community.

While the District is in process of a feasibility study toward the establishment of a public camping and recreational vehicle park, a RV park facility is not likely to become reality in the short term.

The applicant/owners of five properties located adjacent to the Town Centre commercial area and within walking distance of commercial and recreational facilities, the public boat launch, the beach and nature parks and locations scheduled for summer events have made applications for Seasonal Temporary Use Permits. The applicants/owners are not intending to provide service connections. Whereas the properties are underutilized and can accommodate self contained recreational vehicles with ease of access off Gill Avenue and Finlayson Street, the applicants/owners are seeking a Temporary Use Permits to permit the Temporary parking of self-contained RV parking for the season.

Food bank hopes to repay Albertans A movement is underway to return the generosity of Albertans who came to the aid of Sicamous residents in their time of need.

When Sicamous and Swansea Point were devastated by flooding last year, Calgary residents were among the first to jump in and offer help. The Calgary Food Bank’s Development coordinator, Karen Warrington, a part-time Swansea Point

resident, knew just what to do and, within a few days a fully loaded semi trailer was on its way to Sicamous filled with food she knew would be needed to help the Eagle Valley Community Support Society meet the need in the months following the flood.

Now, it is Sicamous’s turn to pay it back.

“One can’t imagine that Calgary and southern Alberta ever considered it would be their

province flooding only just a year after they “payed it forward” to Sicamous and Swansea Point,” says the support society’s Janet McClean Senft. “But such is the way with Mother Nature, and we must now do what we can to help”.

Donations for the Calgary Food Bank can be dropped off at the Eagle Valley Community Support Society at 1214 Shuswap Avenue in Sicamous, or by mail

to Box 777, Sicamous B.C. V0E 2V0.

Also, if anyone has space for a flood affected family who could use a break from the city this summer, let the support society know, and they will forward the information to agencies in Calgary that they can work with to make it happen.

“Let’s show them how a small but mighty town pitches in,” says Senft.

Fun on the run: The Forever Young Run and fundraiser took place this year, marking its 10th anniversary. This year there were 80 participants, who came from as far as White Rock and Calgary. Forever Young is a celebration of Joah Atkinson and Brian Collins, who were struck and killed by a motor vehicle as they were crossing at an intersection. Both having been athletes, the run raises funds for athletic student scholarships at the University of Calgary and Eagle River Secondary. Photos by Victoria Rowbottom

Reading club launched at library It’s up, up and away at the Sicamous Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library for Summer Reading Club.

A magician is just some of those who will be visiting the Sicamous library this summer.

Registration has already begun, but it is not too late. Children can register at any point during the summer, but the sooner they get in-

volved, the more fun contests and events they are able to take part in.

All children ages five to 12 are welcome.

To register, please drop in to the branch at 446 Main St., or call 250836-4845 for more information.

There are free programs on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. on July 10, 24 and 31.

On July 17 at 2:30 p.m. there will be a

Eying up the jewelry: Parkview

Family Magic Show starring Magician Leif David.

The goal of the program is to ensure that children continue to read through the summer months.

Each child who registers will get a booklet to keep track of the books they read and a bookmark. Once they have recorded a book, they get a sticker.

Elementary student Joy Munro is thrilled to play magician’s helper to illusionist Sheldon Cassavant during his recent visit to the school.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS PUBLIC NOTICE DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS Under Section 227 of the Community Charter Table of Properties Eligible for Revitalization Tax Exemption Program TAKE NOTICE THAT the District of Sicamous proposes to adopt Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 862, 2013 for the following reasons and objectives:

Purpose of the Bylaw Council wishes to establish a Revitalization Tax Exemption Program in the downtown commercial area of the District to assist businesses that are listed in the Revitalization Area defined in the Bylaw and were severely affected by flood damage to the District’s water system in 2012 to purchase private water filtration systems.

Reasons for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program The extreme flooding that occurred in the District in 2012 damaged the District’s water system. The damage prevented the District from being able to continue to supply commercial water users in the District who require high volumes of water with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water until such time as the District is able to update its water treatment plant, estimated to take two years or more to complete.

The economic and social well being of the District is enhanced by a viable commercial and retail sector that continues to supply the basic and necessary goods and services, as well as a variety of other goods and services, to the District’s resident population, tourists and visitors and other District businesses. The economic health of that sector and, therefore, the well being of the resident and visiting populations, would be adversely affected by closures of businesses in that sector, forcing persons and businesses in Sicamous to purchase their goods and services in other municipalities. The closure of those businesses may adversely affect other businesses in the District, causing them to close as well.

The water users who are dependent on their water supply for the continuation of their businesses, may be unable to recover from the adverse impacts of the loss of the water supply they require and unable to afford the cost of installing private water filtration systems. Rather than see these businesses close or relocate to other municipalities and be lost to the District, Council deems it necessary and in the best interests of the District to offer them tax exemptions under section 226 of the Community Charter.

Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Council’s objectives for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program are to secure the future economic and social health of the District by offering tax relief to the owners and occupiers of those commercial properties in the Revitalization Area (high volume commercial water users) who were adversely affected by the long term loss of an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water as a result of flood damage to the municipal water system in 2012; Accomplishing the Objectives The Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program would be accomplished by (1)

assisting the high volume commercial water users with the cost of installing water filtration systems on their premises to provide water suitable for their business operations until such time the municipal water service is upgraded, operational and able to supply them with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water; and

(2)

thereby enabling the existing high volume commercial water users to keep their businesses financially viable; to preserve the jobs they provide in their businesses and indirectly in other businesses in the District; and to continue providing goods and services to the inhabitants of the District, as well as visitors and tourists to the District, rather than having their customers purchase their goods and services outside of the District;

Eligible Properties To be eligible for the tax exemption, an applicant must (1) own a Parcel or operate a business assessed for taxation on one or more of the of the commercial properties (Parcels) listed in the Table at the end of this notice, and (2) have installed a water filtration system on the Parcel before October 1, 2013.

Maximum Term of the Tax Exemption The tax exemption will be provided for a maximum term of 5 years beginning with the calendar year 2014 and not available after the year 2018.

Amount of the Tax Exemption The annual tax exemption proposed for each property is $1,200.00 or 20% of the Actual Purchase Price (as verified under the terms of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreement between the District and the property owner) of a water filtration system, whichever is the lesser amount.

Extent of the Tax Exemption The extent of the Tax Exemption is $6,000 if claimed for the Maximum Term of 5 years. The exemption is applied only to the general municipal tax portion of the municipal tax bill and not to taxes that must be collected by the District for other taxing authorities.

Date of Council Meeting Council intends to consider adopting this Bylaw at its Regular Council Meeting on July 10th, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. in the District of Sicamous Council Chambers at the address below. Interested persons are welcome to attend.

Information A complete copy of the bylaw is available at the District of Sicamous Municipal Office, 446 Main Street, Sicamous, BC. For more information, please call Heidi Frank, Chief Administrative Officer, 250-836- 2477.

* There is a Subway Restaurant here, but assessment not divided between storage business and restaurant ** Portion of larger property (boat storage/moorage) *** On Twin Anchors Houseboat property **** Assessed as one property (breakdown is unclear)

IT WILL GO ON LINE! In Memoriam

To Heaven with Love It is another year another day to remember you, memories so cherished.

Your smile your wisdom.

The memories and places of comfort remembered walks along the creek ,or simply a coffee Those days that are gone but not forgotten.

I do feel sad today but I am trying something new to turn the heart that aches into feeling of being blessed Can you feel me smiling up at you?

I am blowing you kisses as hard as I can to heaven with love.

I still stroll by the creek and now oddly savour the smell of smoke I can still see your smile hear your laugh picture you holding my hand.

Your spirt that will never be gone but always here Safe and sound in my heart.

But I will shed a tear and remember its ok You taught me to be myself to be kind, grateful and strong I will cherish the good, the bad and feeling of loss.

A Dad who now watches over me Blowing kisses from heaven, with love.
