sleigh riding on the beach in Seymour. Was taken early in the winter
We're having a very warm and snowless winter here. Probably only about 8" of wet soggy snow out there. We are still driving the cutter on the beach as a matter of fact which would normally be impossible.

Email received Re Snow and Road conditions

Not much snow here so far for this year. I have a 45 gal drum in the yard and the snow is only about half way up the side if it.
 
I was in Kamloops 2 days ago and the road was real good. Snow had filled most of the pot holes and the worst part was really the first 3 kilometers. The rest had fair grip as it was cold. I am always in 4 wheel drive on that road in the winter.
It's supposed to be snowing over the next couple of days then we are supposed to be on the plus side of freezing for a couple of days.

Re Seymour Arm 2010 Business Directory Rates

Hello Business Owners:

We are looking forward to a busy and prosperous year in 2010. As such SACA has undertaken to produce a 2010 Business Directory specifically for the business owners and residences around the Top of the Arm. For those that do business in the Seymour Arm area, this is the only dedicated advertising opportunity. 

The directory will be robust and able to survive on dash boards, quad boxes, coffee tables and in boats well past when the 2011 Directory will be published. 

As an added bonus this year, included in the cost, your ad will be posted on the Seymour Arm Official Web Site

The attached document explains the details and costs. Please note this is a volunteer based effort and if any excess monies result they will go to SACA local projects. 

We are currently planning a print run of 500 copies with direct distribution to all SACA members and residences. The balance will be available at strategic locations for visitors and tourists. 

The latest deadline for submission is 26 February 2010, so please get your ad in soon. 

Best Wishes for 2010

SACA Board of Directors

Re Wayne's book
Doug and Lucille Folland  9lucille@telus.net
My name is Doug Folland ,our family lived in Seymour Arm from the spring o1940 to 1942.Reading the book reminded me of many things from back then. I remember the Collins brothers very well as they treated us kids great, also Vern Daniels would come and visit us quite often. We called Seymour Arm the mosquito capital of BC.

November 26, 2009. 

Road update:
I have received word from my Argo rep that the work for town roads for this year is completed. They have received our ideas for what we would appreciate to be done for next year and hope these requests are scheduled in next year’s budget


The Seymour Arm Main Road has become a victim of the extreme rain we have experienced over the last month. There are numerous potholes developed on our super highway, most of which are unavoidable and many which are quite deep. They will now be with us till things dry up again in the spring. All is too wet now for any repairs to be effectively made.  They did some re-alignment, adjusting the elevation on the corner at kilometre 7.5. This has given better sightline, for a greater distance.

The local roads are also showing the same impact from all the rain. Many potholes, so little room to avoid them.

The winter’s snow cannot be far away and the graded snow road should help with these rough areas until the spring thaw. While the road is smooth though, please remember it is faster and needs your special attention to keep it safer. 

Please all drive safe, enjoy the festive season. 

From myself and my family have a wonderful upcoming holiday.

John K. Castle, SACA, Director Roads.

I just ran across a deal on these Ozone water taps. I believe they would be helpful in killing Bacteria in Seymour Arm water supplies.  I don't have specific stats on what they will actually  produce but it has been mentioned to me that it is close to bottled water. These units produce their own power thru the water pressure off the tap same as a Pelton wheel. I have been using one at home for about a year now and it works fine. Ozone is also very effective removing chlorine. Lesley Milligan and Roy Bradley have them on their kitchen taps for the past 8 months or so in Seymour Arm.  I mention this as I had a concern of how long the generator would work. No reported problems to date.
 These units normally retail at $134.00 US

I have a limited amount at $119 can.
once these are gone they will cost around $165 can.
More Info

To order email Dave Milligan at email     Please put in Ozone tap on subject line

Ozone Air Generators
Ozone generators are widely used for the easy elimination of pet & skunk odors, smoke, mold, fungus, fire, flood, and almost any odor at work or at home. Ozone air generators, used properly can also be used to purify the air and recreate the same fresh air that you experience shortly after a thunder storm.
We are presently using them to eliminate odors in rental properties and homes for sale. With the high humidity in Seymour Arm in the fall, winter, and spring, cabins have a build up of mold etc. Ozone will eliminate odors in a couple of hours.
We liked it so much that we took on a dealership.
