Newly elected MLA Greg Kyllo has officially resigned from Sicamous coun-cil.
Kyllo tendered his resignation effective immediately on June 21. He says he will have his hands full with provincial mat-ters as MLA for the Shuswap and will be unable to fairly give
his attention to both positions.
Council officially accepted his resig-nation at the June 26 regular council meeting. Kyllo’s res-ignation comes after council voted against extending his leave of absence to Jan. 1, 2014. A byelection is expected in Septem-ber.

Bridge speed dips prompt reviewDistrict staff will be assess-
ing 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 ki-lometres per hour,” said Rysz. “What I seem to see is that (the speed dips) don’t serve a pur-pose 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
doing is putting wear and tear on people’s vehicles and sug-gested 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 fund-ing 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 regu-lar traffic doesn’t necessarily compromise the bridge. How-ever, he said there could be consequences if the dips are re-moved and the issue becomes worse.
Council voted that staff as-sess alternative options for speed reduction and the pos-sibility that the current traffic speeds are slow enough.
In 2007 deterioration of the bridge prompted the installa-tion of the speed dips, with an estimated replacement cost of $3 million.

Finlayson Park will not be open for dogs during the Summer Stomp & Burnout.
At the last regular meeting, district coun-cil addressed citizen in-quiries about where to take dogs while the dog park is being utilized by Summer Stomp-go-ers from July 18 to 21.
Bylaws prevent anyone from walking
their dog in Finlayson park and will still ap-ply when the dog park is closed.
Council agreed that the inconvenience is over a short enough period of time that it shouldn’t be difficult for dog walkers to find alternative places to take their dogs during the event.
This will be the first
year that the Summer Stomp has been held in Sicamous, following two years of success-ful burnout events in Sicamous, which were held in conjunction with the Sturgis North Motorcycle Rally.
The Stomp was can-celled last year due to lack of a venue, but had traditionally been held in Silver Creek.

The Shuswap felt the ripple of � ood waters last week. The devasta-tion felt in Alberta trick-led to B.C., even with-out its own over� ows.
The Trans-Canada Highway was closed east of Banff for almost a week due to � ooding, 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 opti-mistic, however.
“I think we have some concern about it but it’s a little bit prema-ture to say,” said Trou-ton.
He said because the � ood hit on a weekend that isn’t normally busy he doesn’t think Si-camous was greatly af-fected. 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 � ooding will have a large nega-tive effect on Salmon Arm.
“I’m worried that it’s going to be a dif-� cult 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 Re-gional District, said the Shuswap is more close-ly 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 pos-sibility that Albertans will choose not to travel as they deal with recov-ery.
“My sense right now is that people aren’t go-ing 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 anoth-er hit again so it’s not good.”
Immediate effects were felt in the hospital-ity industry with people cancelling reservations.
Cindy Martynuik, manager at the Podollan Inn, said the inn lost 23 per cent of its reserva-tions on Thursday, June 20, when the � ooding hit hard and the high-way closed.
She said the inn con-tinued to lose � ve 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 sig-ni� cant impact on rev-enue.
“It’s not just about the accommodations, it’s about the fact that people aren’t here to spend money in the res-taurants and they aren’t doing the activities,” Cyr said.
Heather Bodnar-chuk, manager at the Prestige Harbourfront
Resort, also said it felt a loss in revenue when the � ood hit. A num-ber of bookings can-celled starting Thursday through to Wednesday when the highway re-opened. She said about 10 per cent of the Pres-tige’s business was lost overall and added it was not as busy as it normal-ly is heading into the July long weekend.
Cyr said the house-boating companies felt less of an impact while the highway was closed but Waterway House-
boat manager Neil Mil-lar 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 � ood hit our bookings basically dried up.”
Millar said it’s very unpredictable since people wait much lon-ger 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 Wa-terway was proactive about highway closures and noti� ed guests of alternate routes and the highway reopening.
Cyr said there was a � ne line between hyp-ing up tourism and be-ing respectful of the Shuswap’s suffering neighbours.
She decided not to launch a market-ing campaign to draw Albertans to the drier Shuswap.
“I � nd that quite tasteless,” Cyr said, add-ing she reached out to Tourism Calgary to see if there were ways to help.
The Salmon Arm Visitor Centre was busi-er than normal while the highway was closed, co-ordinator 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.

VICTORIA – Call it the Beach Blanket Budget.
Despite having to cam-paign 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 ses-sion 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 pub-lic attention paid to the de-liberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of run-ning the province aside.
B.C. Liberal house lead-er 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 re-form that went along with four-year scheduled elec-tions. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble ap-proach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.
I expected Clark to re-verse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable govern-ment 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 gov-ernment 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 holi-days, 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 educa-tion, is difficult to accept.
During his time, Camp-bell topped the Fraser Insti-tute’s ranking of most fis-cally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same years, average provin-cial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, mean-ing that under the suppos-edly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government con-tinued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domes-tic product.
Clark has indicated sev-eral times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government small-er. 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 instruc-tions given to Clark’s cabi-net ministers was to ex-amine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.
That in itself may slightly increases the size of govern-ment. But it could be a pre-liminary step to selling the whole thing off and reduc-ing 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.

Province’s laws keeping drunk drivers off road
OpiniOn
Often we hear people complaining about the justice system, how our laws are ineffective, lax, or cumber-
some. Often they are right. But sometimes a law comes along that
really creates substantial change in society and, rightfully deserves recognition for help-ing 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 fam-
ilies that have not been ripped apart by trag-edy. 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 suc-cessful 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. gov-ernment has struck down part of the law in order to strengthen the rights of accused impaired drivers. Regardless, other prov-inces are now looking at similar laws, and would, hopefully, also see their impaired driving fatality rates cut in half.
This confirms that more British Columbi-ans are taking the law seriously and ensuring they are sober when behind the wheel. That’s real justice.

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.

The applicants/owners are not intending to provide service connections.

A movement is un-derway 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 flood-ing last year, Calgary residents were among the first to jump in and offer help. The Calgary Food Bank’s Devel-opment 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 Sup-port Society meet the need in the months fol-lowing the flood.
Now, it is Sicamous’s turn to pay it back.
“One can’t imagine that Calgary and south-ern Alberta ever consid-ered 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 Na-ture, and we must now do what we can to help”.
Donations for the Calgary Food Bank can be dropped off at the Eagle Valley Commu-nity 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 af-fected family who could use a break from the city this summer, let the support society know, and they will forward the information to agen-cies 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.
Food bank hopes to repay Albertans

Reasons for the Revitalization Tax Exemption ProgramThe 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 ProgramCouncil’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 ObjectivesThe 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 PropertiesTo 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 ExemptionThe 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 ExemptionThe 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 ExemptionThe 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 MeetingCouncil 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.
InformationA 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.

It’s up, up and away at the Sicamous Branch of the Okanagan Re-gional Library for Sum-mer Reading Club.
A magician is just some of those who will be visiting the Sicamous library this summer.
Registration has al-ready 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 250-836-4845 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
Family Magic Show starring Magician Leif David.
The goal of the pro-gram is to ensure that children continue to read through the sum-mer months.
Each child who reg-isters will get a book-let to keep track of the books they read and a bookmark. Once they have recorded a book, they get a sticker.
Reading club launched at library

to turn the heart that achesinto feeling
of being blessedCan you feel me smiling up at you?
I am blowing you kissesas hard as I can
to heaven with love.
I still stroll by the creekand now oddly savour the smell of smoke
I can still see your smilehear your laugh
picture you holding my hand.Your spirt that will never
be gonebut always here
Safe and sound in my heart.
But I will shed a tear and rememberits ok
You taught me to be myselfto be kind,
grateful and strongI will cherish the good, the bad and feeling
of loss.A Dad who now watches over me
Blowing kisses from heaven, with love.
