Road Report

 

Seymour Arm Main

The road was graded at the end of our summer season and wintered fairy well.

Forestry has done a further grading early in July giving us great road access for this summer.

 

John K. Castle,

SACA Director Roads.

 

We recently discovered just how valuable the services are that the A.W.E (Aging with Ease) program offers the residents of Seymour Arm. We would not get this type of support in the city. We would highly recommend to anyone spending any time at Seymour arm to support and become a member of this non profit association. At $15 per year family membership, it would be the best investment for your health and well being. We had planned a 10 days visit but after Carol's accident she is simply in better care than if we had brought her back to the City. All thanks to A.W.E and their volunteers
Thanks

Dave Milligan

AWE website http://www.awesociety.ca/programs.html

 

AWE some

On Friday May 13th I slipped and fell with my leg twisted under me on our wet path from the cabin to our dock. This happened only hours after arriving for what was supposed to be a one week “opening of the cabin” trip. The chopper was able to land on our beach and I was quickly transported to Royal Jubilee Hospital in Kamloops. Dr. Richard McLeod operated on Saturday morning and placed a plate and screws just below my left knee (Tibia Plateau). The doc said it is a clean break and I would be non weight bearing for 3 months. Upon my release, 2 days later, we drove back to Seymour with the necessary medical aids and my leg in a brace 24/7.

I am so happy to be able to recuperate at our cabin, where I am able to maneuver the wheelchair all around the main floor plus the front porch, where I watch the level of the lake increase daily. It’s great to see the hummingbirds are back in full force.

I am so thankful to AWE (Aging with Ease) society for the benefits I have received. Special thanks to Al, the therapist, who has worked with me for the past 2 weeks to build strength in my leg muscles. I would not have received such great one on one treatment at home. I may even join the weekly yoga classes offered all summer by AWE when I am strong enough. You can support this organization by becoming a member. It could be the determining factor of whether you stay in Seymour or not if you are injured.

A big heartfelt thank you to my family and all the wonderful people who have dropped in for a visit.

Sincerely,

Carol Milligan

Also check this link Forestry road report

Local Road Update:

Date: October 8, 2010.

Planned maintenance for each year should include the following:

Spring as weather permits:

Grading, with an application of Calcium.  Calcium adds to road stabilization as it is capable of maintaining moisture giving a better solid surface. This ability to maintain the moisture also adds the benefit of dust control. The roads receiving the calcium would include;

Main roads:  (the circle route) Quast Road, to Seymour Arm Bay road, to Daniels road, to Abbot Road to Nittel Road until it reconnects to Quast. This application would be the heaviest and mostly applied where the dust control would best benefit occupied residencies.   

Side roads: We currently receive two truckloads of calcium. Side road application is a more diluted product and applied to different roads each year till the product runs out. The hope is that we may get some application to each road about every second year.

Fall: Grading of the main roads, (circle route), some side road maintenance as budget permits.

 Brush cutting will be done as required on the main roads only. The brush cutting application is where required and to a maximum of two meters back from the road.

Winter: Grading of the main roads, as required. Side roads as required if this road has residents occupying at this time.

Road signage is approved and applied by the Department of Highways. We will be making requests to them for further road name signs. We will also be applying for some stop, yield and speed signs.

Current conditions:

Town roads last graded Oct 4th.

Brush cutting is currently being considered for this fall.

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.
