Neighbours still waiting for ‘unsightly’ resolution

Neighbours living next to an “unsightly premise” on 77 Street fear the Town of Oliver may end up sweeping the problem under the carpet.

Tracy Palmer, who lives next door to Arthur and Wendy Cassel, said she was informed by the Town that it has the legal right to not enforce its bylaws (in this case the prop-erty maintenance bylaw).

Palmer found this to be quite disturbing.“We have no legal right to make them clean up. She can

let the dog poop pile up 10 feet high (and there’s not a thing we can do),” Palmer stated.

Palmer said she offered the Cassels her assistance to help clean up and haul stuff away, but the offer wasn’t taken.

Her greatest fear now is the Town’s inaction will result in other people allowing their properties to become un-sightly and negatively impact property values everywhere.

Unsightly premise complaints were lodged against the Cassels last year. The complaints included excessive weeds, garbage, animal feces, scrap metal, and other debris. Af-ter numerous visits from the bylaw enforcement offi cer,

the Cassels addressed some of the concerns, but the com-plaints continued. The Cassels claimed they were being ha-rassed by the Town and the bylaw offi cer, who showed up one day with the RCMP.

The seesaw affair has been going on for months with no satisfactory resolution, and no new deadline set for com-pliance.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said a municipality has no legal obligation to enforce any particular bylaw at any particular time.

“In the case of Ms. Cassel, the Town has exerted consid-erable enforcement effort, with some limited success.”

Szalay said the bylaw offi cer did follow up with Wendy and reported some success in hav-ing the front yard cleaned up.

In general terms, the diffi culty in these mat-ters is the subjective nature of the complaints and the degree of compliance by the alleged offender, Szalay said.

He noted the Town must con-sider the following questions: What is an acceptable level of mess and how much enforce-ment can be carried out before it crosses the line to harassment? How heavy-handed should en-forcement get when property owners resist providing ac-cess to parts of their property? How much in legal costs should council authorize in enforcing cleanup orders? What about other properties that have a similar degree of mess but have not been complained about?

“Often in these situations, the unsightly com-

plaints have escalated to other areas of concern and the situations can deteriorate into a major dispute between neighbours. In these cases it is unlikely that any proposal or action by the Town will be viewed as an acceptable balance by both

parties.”Szalay said staff direction at

a November 8 meeting was lim-ited to follow up inspections. Ad-ditional direction from council will be needed once again after the enforcement offi cer’s report has been submitted.

Former Oliver resident Bonnie Kooistra, who now lives in Pent-icton, is shocked that the Town has allowed this situation to go on for nine months.

“When we go over to visit (Tracy), we cannot sit outside or have the windows open due to the stench of rotting dog feces and garbage rotting in and around the front and back yard. It is be-yond revolting.”

Kooistra said Wendy does not take this situ-ation seriously and should be held accountable for her actions.

“As anyone would expect, towns have bylaws and as citizens of the town, you expect for your laws to be upheld.”

In a recent interview with the Chronicle, Wen-dy Cassel said she did clean up her property as a result of the complaints.

“I don’t understand their concerns. It’s just harassment.”

Wendy said she doesn’t believe her property is unsightly when you compare it to others in Oliver, which are “worse.”

She explained her efforts in making a dog poop composter with a lid on it; she has report-edly stopped tilling the feces into her garden.

Wendy said her neighbours (Tracy and Bryan Beckett) don’t have to look at her property since they have a fence as a buffer. However, Tracy said the Cassels have stuff piled higher than their six-foot fence.

Town, Indian band discuss issues Police briefs

Sewage treatment and economics were among several topics discussed during a special meeting between the Town of Oliver and the Osoyoos Indian Band on February 1.

“Town council and the OIB council had a relaxed and useful discussion about mutual interests and concerns,” said Councillor Michael Newman.

OIB Chief Clarence Louie touched on recent work on Canyon Desert Resort, the band’s ambitious golf/residen-tial development project. He also presented an update on Senkulmen Enterprise Park and its new sewage treatment facility.

Newman said there was discussion about the current waste treatment services the Town provides the OIB and Vincor, and how that will change with the new pre-treat-ment facility at Vincor and possible changes in fl ows into

the Town’s facility. “Quality and quantity of sewage fl ows from Vincor have

been a long-term concern to the Town and both councils are hoping for improved results when Vincor and the OIB’s new treatment facilities are completed,” Newman said.

The councillor reported that both councils share a con-cern about goose control, noting geese are as bad for golf courses as they are for lake water quality. Newman said the OIB is also interested in participating in developing a master plan for the Oliver airport and asked to be included in future meetings on the issue.

Councillor Jack Bennest said the OIB has agreed to co-operate with the Town to solve the problem of the over-population of deer in Oliver. The concern is too many deer attract cougars in residential areas of the South Okanagan.He noted nothing will happen until all government agen-cies have been consulted and the public are alerted once approvals are in place.


Council gets many priorities straightThe Town of Oliver has adopted a number of strategic

planning priorities that it wants to complete in the near and distant future.

High priorities that are in progress include: replace development servicing bylaw; downtown improvements (Paint the Town); civic address changes; water metering; airport strategic plan; growth boundary plan with Area C; municipal election in November; renew visitor informa-tion centre lease; collective bargaining with CUPE; and by-law adjudication system.

Under the Town’s “top priorities,” Council is eying the following projects: consolidate water regulation bylaws;

prepare road construction referendum; review cemetery business plan; re-write zoning bylaws; and control geese and deer populations.

The following is the Town’s “No Next” list as time per-mits: wine village marketing; trail network enhancements; greenhouse gas reduction; and KVR land sales (explore land exchange with FortisBC). Council also agreed to retain the following “On Hold” list for future consideration: eco-nomic development service levels; youth programs; water matters (conservation and quality); Black Sage Road/362 intersection; CPR/museum/archives lease renewals; and animal pound facility.

Man attempts car theftOn January 24 at 7:22 p.m. Oliver/Osoyoos RCMP were

alerted to a possible theft of a vehicle in progress in the 34,400 block of 105 St.

A homeowner called to report an intoxicated male in her driveway attempting to steal her blue 1998 Hyundai Excel. The male departed southbound on 105 St. prior to police arrival, but witnesses were able to provide a de-scription of the male and police located a man matching the description go through some hedges about a block away. Police cornered the male in the yard and arrested him. The 19-year-old Osoyoos resident was known to police. He faces charges of mischief and breach of an un-dertaking.

Tires stolenOn January 26th at 11:26 a.m. a theft of tires was re-

ported to the Oliver/Osoyoos RCMP. Sometime overnight, unknown persons removed

eight used tires of various sizes from the rear of a busi-ness located in the 34,400 block of 97 St. The tires were stored outside on a locked rack and the lock was cut. The value of the tires is estimated at $500.

Car window smashedOn January 30 at 4:10 a.m. Oliver/Osoyoos RCMP were

alerted to a report of mischief to a vehicle in progress in the parking lot of South Okanagan General Hospital. The complainant’s 1991 Toyota Tercel had its windows smashed while parked at the hospital. The complainant advised police that she and her sister were outside the hospital having a cigarette when they were approached by an intoxicated male asking them for a cigarette and to use their cell phone. They declined and went back inside. When they returned, they found the front and rear passenger windows of their vehicle smashed. They yelled at the male, still on site, who quickly got into a vehicle and drove away. Patrols were made but police could not locate the vehicle.

Do you have watery eyes? Often a watery eye is actually the result of a dry eye. If the eye is not able to make enough of its own tears, or the tears it makes are not a good quality, it sends a signal to the lacrimal gland to make excess tears. These lacrimal gland tears are very watery and often cause epiphora (when the tears run out of the eye and down the cheek). Another reason for a wa-tery eye is that perhaps the system that drains the tears out of the eye is blocked. An optometrist is able to differentiate between the two causes and can recommend appropriate treatment.

Official Community Plan and Zoning Amendment ApplicationElectoral Area ‘C’ Agricultural Plan

All properties within Electoral Area ‘C’ currently zoned as Agri-cultural One (AG1) and Agricultural Two (AG2)

Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen

The significant changes are summarized as follows:

Official Community Plan Amendments

Create a Protection of Farming Development Permit Area adjacent to AG1 and AG2 lands. Under the Local Government Act, the RDOS may designate a development permit for ‘protection of farming’ which may include requirements for screening, landscaping, fencing, and siting of buildings or other structures, in order to provide for the buffering or separation of development from farming on adjoining or reasonably adjacent land. The Development permit would include parcels within a 150 metre ‘buffer’ surrounding lands designated as AG1 and AG2.

Zoning Amendments

• Retail Space-limit all retail space to 300 m2 and to add a clause that 50% or more of the retail sales area to be devoted to the sale of farm products produced on the farm.

• Winery Eating & Drinking Establishments- remove ‘restaurant’ term from current winery definition and use the term ‘food & beverage service lounge’ as used in ALC regulations.

• Agri-Tourism accommodation - remove ‘agri-tourism accommodation’ as a second-ary use; however, encourage it in the OCP as a value added activity. This will require a rezoning process with established criteria outlined in the OCP.

• Housing for Farm Labour1. Introduce permitting secondary suites in AG1 and AG2 zones.2. Introduce the need for a parcel to be assessed as ‘farm’ to permit any housing for

farm help.3. Include seasonal accommodation facilities for farm help as a permitted use.4. Introduce an option for two principal dwellings and additional farm labour housing for

parcels greater than 8 ha.• Parcel Coverage

1. Distinguish between ‘farm’ and ‘residential’ use for site coverage2. Separate coverage for greenhouses (70 %)3. Treat parcels smaller than 0.8 ha with one size of building envelope for all buildings

4. Increase site coverage for farm after 0.8 ha, while keeping a consistent residential footprint (3% parcel coverage for farm use, 600 m2 for residential use.)

5. Limit residential footprint where there are two principal dwellings to 1000 m2 total6. Impose a maximum footprint for lots zoned AG1 (3600 m2)• Move a number of principal permitted uses within the AG1 and AG2 zones to permit-

ted secondary uses.• Setbacks for agricultural buildings and structures from Domestic water supplies from

Sunnybank Centre sees enteric virus outbreak Sunnybank Centre in Oliver has reported an outbreak

of enteric (intestinal) disease and is taking precautions to prevent further transmission.

Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Hasselback confirmed a report that some residents in Sunnybank have experi-enced vomiting and diarrhea.

“We’re not sure if it’s Norwalk, but we’ve seen a fair

number of Norwalk outbreaks since mid-November, and some in the South Okanagan.”

Hasselback, who works for Interior Health, said it’s not surprising to see it in Oliver. “An outbreak of this nature is not uncommon.”

He stated that whenever an outbreak occurs, protocols are followed to reduce the chance of transmission and ill-

ness. For example, extra gowns, gloves and handwashing stations are made available, and changes are made to the facility’s cleaning protocols, Hasselback said.

Staff also limit interaction among residents, he pointed out. In addition, nobody is admitted or transferred out of the facility during an outbreak. This prevents further transmission, he said.

Council decides to fund Airport Strategic Plan

Instead of relying on grant monies, the Town has decided to fund the Oliver Air-port Strategic Plan on its own.

“Our initial attempts to secure grant funding for the strategic planning portion of the project were less than successful,” admitted Mayor Pat Hampson.

So the Town pegged the project as a high enough priority to fund the plan. The Town was previously seeking a $26,580 grant, but that was unsuccessful.

“Council has agreed with the Airport Advisory Committee’s position that the air-port can be an economic enabler that will provide benefits to the entire community,” Hampson said.

The Airport Advisory Committee’s next

immediate goal is to conduct a competitive bidding process to secure a consultant. This person will have the right combination of expertise and experience in airport stra-tegic planning to create a plan, within the allocated budget, which is approximately $43,000.

Once hired, the consultant will work un-der the direction of the Airport Advisory Committee to create the strategic plan and present it to Council for review and ap-proval.

For more information, you can review posted materials on the Town of Oliver website, or call the town office at 250- 485-6200.

SAR members highly trained

They are little known, but members of Oliver/Osoyoos Search and Rescue make up a highly trained group.

The team carried out an extensive recruiting program last summer and now has 15 new members. It has certifi ed four swift water technicians, two ice rescue technicians, and three members have completed two man-tracking courses.

“Over the past year we have set up detailed pre-plans for Mount Baldy area for search recovery for both winter and summer,” said Search Manager Jim McConnell.

He noted last year was a busy year for SAR with 17 search and recovery operations. These included the fol-lowing: Missing snowboarder in Apex ski area, found alive by SAR in Hedley Creek watershed the next day; found missing hunter on Crystal Mountain after his vehicle got stuck; search for Sunny Gill from Oliver, who died after his vehicle plunged into Ashnola River; assisted fi refi ghters evacuate residents after Testalinda Creek mudslide; search for missing riders after they rolled their quad and walked away in the wrong direction in McCulloch Lake area; and found mountain biker with broken leg on top of Green Mountain.

SAR, which trains every Thursday, participates in mu-tual aid training with other teams in Penticton, Princeton and Keremeos. This is a three-day exercise that promotes team building and cooperation. Training includes tracking, rope rescue, bear/snake safety, and alpine terrain search techniques.

McConnell said members have upgraded their knowl-edge on the best recovery practices possible for lost or injured persons.

In the local community, the group has provided fi rst aid and radio communications for the “Half Ironman” events in Oliver and Osoyoos. It also assists with patrols on Hal-loween. Last year SAR performed night security and patrol for the Girl Guides overnight trip at Crystal Mountain.

McConnell said SAR acquired a provincial gaming grant of $37,000 for the purchase of two snowmobiles and a res-cue toboggan. He noted they purchased all their required swift water gear from a previous grant. The group also upgraded its Suburban with a tow package and four new winter tires.

The Housing Committee is continuing to work with the Town of Oliver to acquire land for a new SAR compound.

McConnell said they are also working on acquiring a mobile command trailer to assist in local disasters and searches.

as the Home of the Canta-loupe in the early 1920’s.

Cantaloupe melons were a major agricultural product in the early years of farming in this area. Ground crops, such as melons, were often planted between young fruit trees to create income until the trees bore fruit.

A CPR train used to carry the produce to mar-ket and was named Canta-loupe Annie.

Penalty needs to fit the crime

The Oliver Chronicle welcomes letters to the [email protected]

We can hardly bring ourselves to read the hor-rid details of anyone abusing an animal or making it suffer.

Sadly, this happens all too often in society today, and even more disturbing is the fact not much ever happens to the offenders. Our laws are so lax when it comes to animal cruelty. When is the last time you heard of anyone going to jail for beating a dog to death or starving a house full of cats? Even the fi nes are pitiful.

Most animals can’t defend themselves against a fi st, knife or a gun. They just stand there and take it, or run away (if they’re not chained up). If you offer love to an animal, especially a canine, it will give you a lifetime of love in return, and it’s always uncondi-tional. You can give a dog a boot in the behind and he or she will come back with tail wagging and tongue lapping, like all was forgotten.

If people can’t afford (or don’t have the time) to look after an animal, they shouldn’t have one. And if they bring pain or suffering to an animal, they should face severe consequences.

The sled dog massacre in Whistler is a real hor-ror story that should fi nally wake up our politicians to enact harsher penalties for such revolting acts of violence.

The company employee who killed the canines re-portedly received workers’ compensation for post-traumatic stress after the brutal slaying. The logic in that will never be explained or justifi ed. How many people fi ght tooth and nail to get workers’ compen-sation in deserving cases? But someone who slaugh-ters 100 dogs gets it without diffi culty. You know, it doesn’t surprise us one bit considering how ridiculous much of our society is.

Some of the dogs were reportedly maimed during the ordeal, with parts of their heads shot off. Others were killed trying to escape the pit where the shooter dumped them.

Despite the circumstances leading up to the slaugh-ter, the employee had a choice to walk away and let the company (or the SPCA) deal with the sick or el-derly dogs. Now the employee and company reps are facing death threats.

Those responsible for this massacre should be held seriously accountable. This case should be an exam-ple to others that such barbaric behaviour won’t go unpunished. If it does, we have failed once again as a compassionate society.

Driver testing centre too far away Editor, Oliver Chronicle:

This is concerning the many seniors who drive in our community and are increasingly losing their driver’s li-cence.

There are seniors who are receiving mandatory restric-tions by doctors. It is true that at age 80 they may have to take a physical exam. As we know physical ability is not the same according to age.

There are those in their 70s who shouldn’t be driving be-cause there are growing problems with memory, eyesight, physical mobility and other medical issues that can come suddenly to anyone at any age; but there are also those in their 90s who are capable and still driving.

The reasons they are still behind the wheel in Oliver is they know their route, no fast pace or four-lane roadways in our wonderful community.

ICBC has a testing centre in Kelowna that is too far for our seniors who don’t do city driving or even highway driving out of town.

Seniors just want the freedom to drive for shopping, get groceries, get to appointments – hair, doctor, social meet-ings, coffee with friends and go to church.

When testing is necessary there should be a testing cen-tre in Penticton (could be driven there), but testing should be written, not on the computers and should be able to use their own vehicle that they are knowledgeable about – not the company’s.

Years driven, or lack of, does not make a good driver, but they need to be a safe driver.

Are people who drive using their cell phones more un-safe than seniors?

Perhaps every senior turning 80 years old should be re-quired to place an “S” decal on their car so that the police could observe any infractions just as they do with the “N” for new drivers. This would give dignity to seniors while observing their actions and capability.

Joy Vangen, Oliver

Town needs to get tough on propertyEditor, Oliver Chronicle:

I am the mother of Tracy Palmer Beckett of 36474-77 Street in Oliver, and I can be silent no longer.

I feel this issue with Tracy’s neighbour Wendy Cassel of 36476-77 street in Oliver has gone on way too long, and is putting way too much stress on their entire family. Since the beginning of this whole ordeal we have observed a no-ticeable effect on their demeanors. They no longer display the enthusiasm they once had of being proud members of the community of Oliver. Now, you may say this is none of my business but when it affects the well being of my grandchildren and my daughter it becomes my business.

Tracy and Bryan Beckett have worked very hard to im-prove their yard and their home and increase the value of their property. Now the Town of Oliver has chosen to ig-nore a problem they should be dealing with because they fi nd Wendy Cassel too diffi cult to deal with. What would become of our society if everybody took that approach? What if parents chose to ignore their children’s bad be-haviour because they were too diffi cult to deal with? What would happen if our courts decided criminals were too dif-fi cult to deal with? I think you get the point I am trying to make and so I must ask you, why aren’t you enforcing your own bylaws?

Wendy’s hoarding behaviour has become a health issue. There are rodents and insects residing in the rubbish and dog feces collecting in the soil.

Tracy and Bryan had no choice but to install a cedar fence to try to conceal some of the rubbish. They couldn’t really afford it but what else could they do? However, the fence only masks part of the rubbish. What about the un-sightly old motorhome parked right in the front yard?

Another thing is what happened to the bylaw of only al-lowing two dogs. By last count there were still fi ve dogs living there.

Now, I would like to address another issue. How about the fact that Wendy willfully defaced a large tree with a chain saw. That tree wasn’t even on her property. As you well know, trees are a very valuable asset to everyone and you should not take lightly any random vandalism to them.

I believe by ignoring this problem the Town of Oliver has depreciated the Beckett family home considerably. How could they possibly sell their property at a fair price with that eyesore next door? Are you going to adjust the Becketts’ taxes accordingly?

In closing I would just like to say, “So much for living in the ‘Valley of Heaven’ in the Okanagan.”

Sharon Palmer, Penticton

Rotarians build playgrounds for orphaned kids Members of the Rotary Club of Oliver have proved with-

out a doubt that the “kid” in all of us never dies.That was clearly evident last week as senior men climbed

a wooden wall, dangled from a chain ladder, and walked a balance beam without falling off.

“Hey, if little kids can do it, we are old, smarter and wis-er, so it should be a snap for us,” said club member Russell Work.

Work is the lead hand of several Rotarians who took on a major hands-on project to build two playground sets for nearly 500 orphans in Moldova (eastern Europe).

The men worked five, seven-hour days to construct two complete jungle gyms from scratch in Oliver’s air cadet hangar. To say it was a labour of love is an understatement.

“The support of all these guys . . . I’m absolutely blown

away,” said Work with emotion. “We’re changing the lives of kids,” he added through tears.

The idea stemmed from a visit that Bob Ellis made to Mol-dova last year. Ellis is a member of the Oliver group known as “For the Least of These.” While visiting two orphanages, he noticed the children had no equipment to play on. So he approached the Rotary Club to see if members would be interested in taking on an international project.

Work said they jumped on it and sought help from vari-ous businesses that generously supported the project with donations of materials at cost or free of charge. The two tonnes of playground equipment ended up costing only $1,700 each.

Work said the ambitious project is the biggest hands-on initiative that Rotar-ians have tackled in recent years.

It started with a crude

balsa wood model. From there the men went to work on the real thing. Work, who loves problem solving, viewed the project like a chess game, where you always have to think ahead.

“Everybody contributed with refinements and smarter ways of doing things.”

For example, Ernie Dumais and Bob Pinske worked their magic on a corrugated water drainage pipe that was trans-formed into a slide.

Part of the challenge was building the playgrounds in a way that would enable Rotarians to re-assemble them in Moldova. The equipment will be shipped there this sum-mer and assembled. By the end of September, the orphans will be crawling all over it like ants at a picnic.

About 200 people attended the 64th annual game banquet hosted by the Southern Okanagan Sportsmen’s Association at the Oliver Community Centre last Saturday. The wild game menu included elk, moose, buffalo and cougar.

Lyonel Doherty photos

Chance Wabnegger took home awards for junior mule deer and junior whitetail, proving he’s quite the established hunter at his age.

Man eats cougar at banquetNot too many people can say they’ve eat-

en a cougar and lived to tell about it. “It tastes like . . . pork. I love it, “said

Grant Stone, looking at his wife Sharon as they fi nished two heaping plates of food at the 64th annual game banquet last Satur-day.

The Stones from Summerland were among approximately 200 people who at-tended the banquet hosted by the Southern Okanagan Sportsmen’s Association, under MC Ron Ostermeier.

Kitchen staff Vicki and Val Kryzanows-ki and Brenda Spletzer served a dazzling spread, including moose heart, elk, buffalo and the cougar, provided by guide/outfi t-ter Jim Wiens.

Grant said the banquet was a great fam-ily event for all ages, but he admittedly ate too much. However, not as much as some people, he pointed out.

“My stack was only two or three inches high,” he joked.

Now that’s a smileShari Ulrich has a little fun during her performance at Medici’s Gelateria last week. The place was full of energy and she thrilled the full house with her top recording songs.

Don’t let things festerEvery year I look forward to the Christ-

mas season and 2010 was no exception. Coming from a large family and with many nieces and nephews already grown, there was much to anticipate from new fiancés to new babies. But I had another surprise coming. Along with the holidays came an inflamed wisdom tooth. While the joy of the holi-days and the excitement of new family members were not diminished, I went through the holidays with the knowledge that I had a very painful reality to confront once the holidays ended.

As the new year opened, I found myself in the dentist chair listening to the words, “it’s gotta go or it’s gonna cause nothing but trouble for years to come.” Well, I have always con-sidered myself to be a pretty tough guy, so I thought, “I know this will be difficult but I can handle it.” I booked off a Wednesday morning from work, and scheduled an ap-pointment with the dentist so he could do the deed. I would be back at work by the afternoon and certainly ready for a full day Thursday wouldn’t I? Or so I thought. By Saturday I was begging for painkillers and wondering how anyone else had survived this horrible ordeal. Needless to say I did not accomplish a lot of work for the rest of that week or even the next. In fact, it would be a full two weeks before I was fully ready to work again. I have to admit to driving

my family crazy with all of my whining and complaining. Could this really be this pain-ful?

As I pondered the painful experience I wondered why I had to endure it. I thought of the festering tooth and what would have happened had I not had it removed. Years of festering pain. I thought of the people who lived before things like painkillers and anesthetics. How did they survive? Then I

began to think of some of the other things that can fester in our lives, things like disappointments, un-forgiveness, and bitterness. We can't go to a dentist and have them diagnosed and removed under anesthetic like we can with a tooth, and yet they can be equally as painful and debilitating if we allow them to remain. Often these things will lie underneath the surface for years without being noticed

until suddenly they flare up again. Just as we have to deal with the infected

tooth, we also need to deal with the matters of the heart. The Bible challenges us to “get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, in-stead be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another.”

These may be easy words to say; but not so easy to do. Just as the dentist struggled to rid me of my festering wisdom tooth while I endured the pain, so also we must struggle to rid ourselves of the things that can fester below the surface of our lives. The answer may seem painful, maybe even too painful to endure, but it will be worth it.

Toastmasters lead by example

South Okanagan Toastmasters recently celebrated their 15-year anniversary.

That is 15 years of working with people to make better communicators and leaders. Not only has the club benefi t-ted its members, members have also been active in the communities working with Osoyoos and Oliver Ambassa-dor programs, Air Cadets and other organizations teach-ing, coaching, and leading communication skills work-shops.

I have been a member of the South Okanagan Toastmas-ters since the fall of 2003. Toastmasters has truly helped me become the person I am today. Not just through learn-ing how to speak confi dently in front of others. I have learned how to communicate, lead and be led, and how to listen and encourage others around me in a positive uplift-ing manner.

This year Toastmasters International District 21 (all of BC) will be holding its annual spring conference (May 6-8) at Spirit Ridge Resort in Osoyoos. This year our keynote speaker will be Jana Barnhill, a Toastmaster International past president (the fourth woman to hold this position

since Toastmasters began in 1926.) Another exciting part of this event will be the presentation of the “Community Award” to artist Dennis Weber, a Métis who has spent the past decade giving of himself to the Métis community. He has mentored many young Métis children, and has co-au-thored a book called “The Secret of Your Name.”

Toastmasters International is not just an organization for those scared to death of public speaking. It is an organi-zation committed to teaching people how to be competent communicators, listeners and leaders. It has been proven to be the best form of communication training and for the least amount of money. You could spend thousands of dol-lars on university courses learning what Toastmasters of-fers for dollars per meeting.

The question remains: do you have what it takes to become a confi dent communicator and leader? Don’t let simple misconceptions about what you may think Toast-masters really is stop you from venturing out to see what you are truly about.

Toastmasters is for those who truly never want to stop learning and have that burning desire to be great. Join us Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at the Best Western Hotel in Os-oyoos.

Marty gets lesson on whatValentine’s Day is all about

Six-year-old Marty and his mom lived with his mom’s parents. Marty’s mom was at work each day so he had become used to going to his grandparents with many ques-tions.

Today his question was: Why do we have a Valentine’s day?

Marty found his Grampy sitting on the porch enjoying an early sunny spring day. “Why do we have a Valentine’s day Grampy?”

“Ask your Nana.” “Did, Grampy, she said to ask you.”“She did, eh?”“Yeah, Grampy, she did.”“Well I reckon it was because of this fella

in a place called Ireland. See, he played a two penny whistle, and he played so bad it even drove the snakes mad, and they left Ireland.”

“Where did they go, Grampy?”There was silence for a moment while

Grampy got his thoughts together.“Wales.”“The whales ate them, Grampy?”“No, no there’s a place called Wales. I

reckon that’s where they went.”“How do you know that, Grampy?”“Well, when all those snakes showed up

there, it scared the people so bad they’ve talked real funny ever since. Their words are long and squiggly like. You can’t under-stand them.”

“But why do they have Valentine’s Day?” “Oh that. The Irish celebrate February

14th as the day they played the trick on Wales chasing the snakes there.”

“Good Lord, man, what are you telling the lad? I should have known better than to have him ask you”

It was Nana standing on the porch shaking her head and a pointed finger at Grampy.

“Come here lad, don’t pay any attention to that story Grampy told you. What hap-pened was in a place called Switzerland; there was a baker who discovered choco-late. His name was Valentino, and he lived

in the Italian part of Switzerland. Now he made all this chocolate but he had to find a way to sell it. So he decided to have a spe-cial day that men would give ladies gifts of chocolate. And he called it Valentine’s Day. And it made Swiss chocolate famous.

“Mom’s home, mom’s home.”Marty ran to the front door to greet her.

“Hi mom, Nana and Grampy have been telling me why we have a Valentine’s day, but I’m confused. Can you tell me? Grampy tells me it’s all about snakes. But nana says it’s about Swiss chocolate.”

“Grampy is being his usual self, Marty, he’s trying to be funny and Nana is part-ly right. Now the way I heard it was this: This baker called Valentino made real good chocolate and tried to sell it but needed to expand his market. So he sent his son Ru-dolf.”

“His son was a reindeer, mommy?”“No, no men can be called Rudolf just

like you’re called Marty. Anyway, he sent his son to a place called California and he became a famous movie actor. Rudolf Val-entino. All the ladies loved him and he loved them. So he decided that on his birth-day, February 14 he would give all his lady friends chocolate. And he thought it would be nice to send them a greeting card. But he was so busy acting he didn’t have time to do it himself, so he had a man called John Hallmark make them for him.” Ladies were so pleased they told all their friends about the chocolates and the pretty cards and soon everyone was giving chocolates and cards on February 14. The baker in Switzer-land couldn’t keep up with the orders so he let a cousin in a place called Belgium start making chocolate and that made Belgium chocolate famous. The cousin changed his name to Valentine so as not to be confused with the Swiss Valentino. That’s why we have Valentine’s Day.”

“Grampy, if men have to give chocolates and cards to ladies, what do ladies give men on Valentine’s Day?”

Grampy gave the question a moment’s serious thought, before saying, “They usu-ally give ‘em hell for forgetting.”

Where’s Gilligan?With the Oliver Chronicle in hand, Steve and Betty-Jo Hetherington visited Charleston, SC in November. It was a great history lesson for the local couple.

Superstitions discussedFive members attended the Women’s In-

stitute meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 2. Be-ing Ground Hog Day they shared their own superstitions which included familiar ones such as not walking under a ladder and not so well known ones as “if the cat rubs its paw over its right ear before 10 a.m. I will receive a male visitor.” And “if there is a slip of a moon, twist your ring around your finger and make a wish.”

February is History Month for the Wom-en’s Institute. Agnes Sutherland, guest speaker, shared her childhood memories of Oliver. She arrived in Oliver in 1926 at the

age of nine. She remembers the little red school house, and how you made your own entertainment. Everything you needed was available within the two blocks of Main St. Thank you to Mrs. Sutherland for her infor-mative presentation.

The members discussed the recent “Poor No More” forum which they co-hosted with Desert Sun Counselling. They were happy with the turnout and decided that they would try to facilitate a follow-up meeting in the spring.

The Oliver Women’s Institute meets at 1:30 on the first Wednesday of each month at Heather’s Threadz on Main. The speaker for March will be a funeral director. New members and visitors are always welcome.


Thunder rolls over rivals

The South Okanagan Thunder started the minor hockey playoffs this past week-end by eliminating the Penticton Jr Vees in the best of three series.

It was a good start to the series by beat-ing Penticton 7-2 on Saturday, Feb. 5 at Sun Bowl Arena in Osoyoos. Tristan Baptiste Hall starting goaltending duties but after two quick goals was relieved by Narcisse Baptiste Mota who had a great game in the blue paint. The big hat trick went to Shelby Taylor 3G, 1A; Keenen Holz 2G; Jarod Street 1G, 2A; Tristan Calverley 1G, 1A; Jaymin

Dias, Blake Loura, Craig Thompson and Da-vid Launier each with an assist.

Game two was played on Sunday, Feb. 6 at Penticton Memorial Arena with the Thunder sweeping the series with a 10-1 victory. Goaltending Duties were shared by both Narcisse Baptiste Mota and Tristan Baptiste Hall, both making some big saves keeping Penticton from scoring only one goal.

Scoring was: Jarod Street with the big hat trick 3G, 1A; birthday boy Shelby Taylor 2G, 1A; Keenen Holz 2G; Tristan Calverley 1G, 2A; Colton Smith 1G; Joshua Windley 1G and David Launier 1A.

The Thunder takes on Winfield next.

Michelle Regner from Oliver is promoting “Helping Hearts,” a non-profi t organization that offers free photography sessions for families of sick and disabled children.

Helping Hearts capture specialmoments for sick, disabled kids

Sick and disabled children all over Canada are offered free photography sessions by “Helping Hearts”, a newly formed non-profi t organization that has roots in Oliver.

Michelle Regner of Oliver and Melissa Knowles from the Fraser Valley are giving back to their communities by do-ing something they love - photography. Started in early 2010 they currently have 70 professional photographers across Canada who donate their time to help families in need during a diffi cult time by creating special memories.

“Families may not have considered how important it may be to preserve the precious changes in their children during a diffi cult illness,” said Regner.

Photo sessions may include images of the child and fam-ily members when possible.

Photos are taken in the hospital, in the family’s home, the photographer’s studio or wherever the family chooses. “When we take the photos in the hospital there is no need to disconnect wires or monitors or create any discomfort for the child,” stated Regner. “That’s important to us.”

Each family receives a complimentary photography ses-sion, a disk with approximately 20-30 print-ready images and a complimentary 8x10 print of their choice.

So far most contacts have been made through word of mouth and Facebook, but Regner is hoping that the name of Helping Hearts will become well known and anyone in these diffi cult situations will not hesitate and contact them to take advantage of their services. They can be contacted through their website at www.helping-hearts.ca.

MVA results in life-threatening injuriesOn February 4 at approximately 8 am three vehicles

were involved in a serious motor vehicle collision on High-way 3 east of Hedley.

A westbound Pontiac Sedan rounded a curve and im-mediately encountered extremely icy conditions. The Pon-tiac slid head-on into an eastbound Honda mini-van. The male occupant of the Pontiac, a resident of Grand Forks, sustained life-threatening injuries and was air evacuated to Kelowna General Hospital. Two adult occupants of the

Honda, residents of Hedley, sustained moderate injuries and were transported to Penticton Regional Hospital by ambulance.

While the two vehicles were at rest in the middle of the highway, a third vehicle, a Nissan mini-van, collided with them. The two occupants of this vehicle were uninjured. These occupants were residents of Keremeos.

Due to the sudden change in road conditions charges are not anticipated.

Fire department extricates passengerThe Oliver Fire Department had to extricate a passenger

of a mini-van that crashed during snowy conditions at Gal-lagher Lake last Sunday.

The vehicle was travelling on Highway 97 when it spun out of control and left the road, said media relations offi cer Spencer Tribbick.

He noted the driver of the vehicle was able to extricate himself, but the passenger needed help from fi refi ghters. There was no report of serious injuries.

The fi re department had two trucks and 11 men on scene.

The Town of Oliver and the RDOS are waiting to see how a special partnership in bylaw adjudication pans out this year.

The partnership involves Oliver, Pentic-ton, Summerland, Kelowna and other mu-nicipalities in moving the process of resolv-ing bylaw ticket disputes related to minor infractions out of the provincial court sys-tem and into an independent adjudication process.

“The new model will create a simpler, more cost effective method for residents to resolve their disputes and allow the ticket recipient an opportunity to have the ticket reviewed by two impartial parties; this will save the taxpayer time and money,” stated RDOS Chair Dan Ashton.

The new system simplifies the local gov-ernment process for resolving minor bylaw violation disputes by providing residents with flexible options to pay and a new pro-

cess to dispute these bylaw offence notices. As a result, service delivery to residents

will be enhanced and costs to municipali-ties will be minimized by enabling the par-ties involved to deal with these minor by-law disputes at the local level. This will also free up available provincial court time for more serious or complex bylaw matters.

Under the new system, a provincially ap-pointed adjudicator will hear all bylaw no-tice disputes.

This new bylaw adjudication process can reduce the dispute process time from the current six months down to often one month, resulting in cost savings to the mu-nicipality and more efficient use of bylaw officer time.

Currently there are more than 40 local governments in BC that have worked with the province to set up an adjudication pro-cess.

Oliver caregivers sought for new dementia coping program

An innovative educational program starting in early

March will help caregiving family members from OIiver deal with the loss and grief issues associated with demen-tia.

The dementia journey requires ongoing adjustment to many changes over a long period of time, explains project

leader Dr. Penny MacCourt from the Centre on Aging at University of Victoria.

She notes dementia changes relationships, shared ac-tivities, responsibilities, dreams and plans for the future.

The new Coping with Transitions program will connect residents with a skilled registered coach with extensive knowledge and experience in counselling caregivers.

Coaching is being offered in both online and telephone group formats, allowing participants to share experiences

and to learn from each other.The choice of phone or online groups provides conve-

nience, since participants don’t have to leave their homes. The format also provides participants with choice of lo-

cation; they can work from anywhere that has a telephone or an Internet connection.

Interested caregivers in the Oliver area can get more information about the program by calling toll free 1-877-244-0419.

Little dragonsStudents in Trishia Drought’s Grade 2/3 class at Oliver Elementary School celebrated Chinese New Year on February 3 by dressing up in hand-made dragon costumes and walking downtown to Asia Buffet restaurant for lunch. It was an education in culture, and the students loved it.

While Osoyoos students would have benefited in several ways by amalgamating with SOSS in Oliver, school trustees believe there are too many negatives in this option.

Closing the high school in Osoyoos would save the dis-trict more than $700,000 a year as it struggles to address budget woes and declining enrolment. According to a staff report, it would also provide a broader scope of learning opportunities for students. It would also increase course offerings and more extracurricular activities with a larger student population at SOSS.

Trustee Sam Hancheroff said the district’s three senior secondary schools will have fewer than 1,000 students by 2015. “To me, that’s a concern (considering enrolment pro-jections).”

But Hancheroff said the board really doesn’t like closing schools.

Trustee Tamela Edwards said research data indicates there are a number of benefits in combining two schools. Although she questioned whether keeping OSS open would

be viable, she pointed out there are “no invisible students” at that high school.

Trustee Myrna Coates said she didn’t want to see OSS close its doors on students, but noted the school is one of the most expensive to operate in the district.

“My concern in the community is with the (enrolment) numbers going down. Can we keep giving them (students) the best that we want for them?”

But fellow trustee Marieze Tarr said closing OSS would have a big economic impact on the town. “We would lose a lot of young families; they will be moving away.”

Tarr said more collaboration with the town and the school is needed to attract more families to the commu-nity.

Trustee Debbie Marten said schools are the heartbeat of the community, and children need to be in their own com-munities as opposed to bussing them elsewhere.

“It’s a no-win situation to close a school. If you take kids out of the school, you take the heart out of the commu-nity.”

Trustee Michael Petersen said closing OSS would save the most money but cause the most disruption. He added

that declining enrolment figures will dictate that some-thing will have to happen at OSS; the issue will come back to haunt the board.

Board chair June Harrington said she is totally opposed to closing OSS, where 265 students call home. She noted that bussing them out of the community to Oliver would take an hour, which would be “extremely disruptive” to families.

Harrington pointed out that OSS has seen many stu-dents succeed in the professional world. For example, many graduated to pursue successful careers as doctors, scientists, nurses and dentists.

“To close the school would mean an economic disaster (in Osoyoos),” Harrington said, imploring the board not to pursue this option.

Hancheroff said that once you start closing schools, it doesn’t stop there, it continues. But he noted the board can’t sit back and watch the clouds go by if enrolment numbers keep declining; it has to look for solutions.

After the discussion, the board voted not to pursue the closure and amalgamation option.

BFI awarded garbage, recycling contract

The Town of Oliver has awarded BFI Can-ada Inc. a $160,000 contract to collect gar-bage and recycling materials for the next fi ve years.

The contract represents an increase of approximately seven per cent as opposed to the previous 20 per cent initial increase.

In addition, staff is preparing bylaw amendments to prohibit plastic bags in the yard waste stream effective July 1. Glass pickup will also be eliminated.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said people were encouraged to use plastic bags in the past, but not anymore because that would result in debagging costs under the new contract. The BFI proposal includes a charge of $44 per tonne for debagging yard waste if such waste continues to be set out in plastic bags. (That’s why the initial in-crease was set at 20.9 per cent.) This charge would amount to more than $20,000, hence

the reason behind the bylaw amendment to prohibit plastic bags.

By using a spare garbage can or even buying a can, customers can save consider-able costs in weekly bag purchases, Szalay said.

BFI is offering residents an option of renting a wheeled container for yard waste collection.

Under the new contract, the following levels of service apply: Weekly garbage collection of one bag/can per week; unlim-ited blue bag recycling bi-weekly; unlim-ited yard waste collection bi-weekly from March to November; and one large item collection event per year (for a maximum of two large items per household).

Szalay said the cost of additional garbage tags will be left at $1.50 per tag.

In addition to contract fees, RDOS tip-ping fees are anticipated to increase in 2011 from $55 per tonne to $65 per tonne, Szalay noted.


Local rancher banned from owning animals: court judge

An Oliver cattle rancher has been found guilty of neglect, resulting in 30 months’ probation and a three-year ban from own-ing animals.

In Penticton provincial court last week, Judge Gale Sinclair didn’t accept Rudy Harfman’s defence that he couldn’t afford to adequately feed all his cattle on his Saw-mill Road ranch in 2006. That was the year the SPCA seized approximately 120 cows, one donkey and four sheep in various states of starvation and neglect. It was re-

ported that other animals were found dead on the ranch.

The 67-year-old rancher told the court that a series of fi nancial misfortunes led to the situation. He said drought, poor beef prices (due to mad cow disease), and a mea-ger crop of hay made it diffi cult to provide all the animals with better care.

The cows that were seized were subse-quently sold at auction, and Harfman must now sell any remaining animals on his farm.

Mt. Baldy racers heat up the slopes on Crystal

Annika Everton photo

Anya Nazaroff (middle) from Mt. Baldy Alpine Club stands proudly on the podium with gold at the annual Okanagan Zone Race. At left is Gillian Callaghan from Big White with silver and at right is Sabrina Tenant from Apex.

Arctic air pushed down on Crystal Moun-tain recently and the kids from Mt. Baldy Alpine Club pushed back.

Arriving to a bluebird sky and a bone-chilling cold, 12 Nancy Greene racers geared up for the annual Okanagan Zone Race on January. 30. A dual slalom course and com-bined time format would determine the best of the day. Competition was stiff with over 150 racers from Big White, Apex and Crystal all hoping to reach the po-dium.

Coaches Gary McBryde and Greg Myers prepared their young Mt. Baldy team well and great results followed.

Gold was won by Anya Nazaroff (F2000) and Daniel Everton (M2001), silver to Jack Fenwick-Wilson (M1999) and Nils Rauhala (M2000). One missed gate left Mia McBryde just off the podium. And newer to racing,

but catching on quickly, Anika Crape and Caprice Brown impressed with their “cool” approach and solid runs.

The club’s youngest members, the “Blue Team” of Avery Kane, Adam Koc-zij, Yolanda Fenwick-Wilson and Nicole Schoyen thrilled all by attacking their runs

and placing third in the 6-8 age group. Agatka Koczij was headed for the podium until catching an edge and falling, but as determined as ever, fi nished on one ski.

As encouraging as the results were for our small club, even more encourag-ing was the commitment, enthusiasm and determina-tion of our young athletes. A proud Coach Myers not-ed, “Our kids didn’t just ski

today, they came to race.” Well done to Crystal Mountain for a great

day of racing, and thank you to Mt. Baldy for its support. Mt. Baldy Alpine Club’s an-nual spaghetti dinner and silent auction fundraiser is coming up on February 26. For more info call Keri at 250-490-6910.

Board turns down initiative

Terry NazaroffSpecial to the Chronicle

A previous grant application from Inte-rior Health for a district-based health pro-moting coordinator still holds no interest for the board.

The same application has been present-

ed again, but the superintendent has had no requests from schools advising of the need for a coordinator.

Trustees agreed that the district will not engage in the initiative.

Tree roots troubling staffA concern about 113 boulevard trees in

the Tuc-el-Nuit area is compelling Town staff to get to the root of the problem.

Director of Operations Shawn Goodsell told Council that a root guard problem was recently discovered in newly planted bou-levard trees. As a result, he recommended that council budget $8,000 per year (for five to six years) on a plan to replace the exist-ing trees with new ones.

Goodsell said the planted trees have not shown the growth or health that one might have expected. So after some digging to de-termine if the trees were salvageable, staff discovered the root systems were too far gone.

“A lot of the root guards were planted incorrectly so there’s no healthy root sys-tem,” Goodsell said.

As these trees are five to nine metres in height, the probability for toppling hazards

are greatly increased, he pointed out, not-ing they are susceptible to be blown over.

Most of the trees are on boulevards near sidewalks and homes, therefore, the li-ability if a tree fails is solely on the Town, Goodsell said.

To rectify the problem and decrease the liability, Goodsell noted the most cost ef-fective solution is to remove the problem-atic tree, place the root barrier in the ap-propriate spot and irrigate.

“If we knew more about these root prob-lems 10 years ago, we could have avoided these issues.”

Council members discussed whose re-sponsibility is it to look after boulevard trees.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay said they don’t want people pruning municipal trees. “We would prefer people to leave them alone.”

Goodsell said unhealthy trees require more water, while healthy root systems re-quire less water.

Soroptimists Penny Ruddy (left) and Joan Wilson present a $1,000 cheque to counsel-lor Karin Maertins (right) from Southern Okanagan Secondary School. These monies will help fund the “Safe Teen” project for Grade 8/10 girls and Grade 10 boys. The program addresses issues such as teen violence, racism, bullying, relationships and peer pressure.


What is your most important value and why?Honesty and trust.

Why did you choose to live in this town?We used to go to Florida for the winters and chose Oliver in case we could not go anymore and also for the fruits and vegetables.

What would make Oliver a nicer community?It’s really hard to improve on it but probably more shop-ping and recreation.

Do you have a goal in life?Yes, my goal is to be a good mother and a person people would enjoy being with and of course good health.

If you had one super power, what would it be?To reduce poverty and suffering.

If you won the $50 million Max lottery, what would you do with the money?Well that would be a surprise since I don’t buy tickets but if I did I would help my kids, do some travelling and be very generous to charities of my choice.

If you were the mayor of Oliver, what would you do?I would listen to the people of this town and try to accom-modate them if feasible.

If you could meet one person in the entire world, who would it be and why?Elvis, if he were alive. I thought he was hot but also very caring and talented.

What is your pet peeve in this community?People that don’t pick up after their dogs. If you could fast forward the Town of Oliver by 50 years, what can you visualize?Probably different styles of homes, lots of solar equipment, maybe some robots.

What is the perfect day for you in Oliver?When the sun is shining and I feel in sync with the world.

What community issues need the most attention?I would have to say jobs.

What would be your ideal job?Planning and organizing recreation or a party planner.

Who inspires you the most?Women that have achieved great stature such as Oprah.

If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?A good income, great health for me and my kids and good friends.

What is your greatest ex-travagance?I enjoy shopping.

What living person do you most admire?Dr. Myron Wentz.

When and where were you happiest?Right now. My children are grown, I’m retired and do what I want to do.

Which talent would you most like to have?An entertainer in music. Who are your heroes in real life?People who give of themselves, such as volunteers. What or who is your greatest love in your life?I love to travel and I love country music. What is it that you most dislike?Negative people and people that are never on time! What do you consider your greatest achievement?Operating a successful fast food business.

What is your favourite book?Most Nora Roberts books.

What is your favourite meal?Chinese food.

In loving memory

Aaron William Deets1924 - 2011

Aaron William Deets passed away peacefully after a short illness on Monday, January 31, 2011 at the South Okanagan General Hospital, Oliver B.C., at the age of 86 years.

Predeceased by his beloved wife, Jessie (2008). Lovingly remembered by his 3 daughters, Shirley (Steve) Burynuik, Bev Deets (Grant Reagan) and Dorothy (Tom) McLaughlin. Survived by his grand-children, Paul Millington, Liane Millington, Adrienne McLaughlin, Celeste McLaughlin (David Hossini) and Nicola Burynuik.

It’s been over two months since the Osoyoos Coyotes hockey team last tasted defeat. Friday night’s 7-1 romp over the Kelowna Chiefs and Sunday afternoon’s 4-3 shading of the North Okanagan Knights pushed the Coyotes’ current winning streak to 12 and unbeaten stretch to 16.

Stefan Jensen and Thierry Martine tal-lied two goals and two assists apiece in Kelowna. Taylor House added a goal and a pair of helpers. Troy Quintal and Mark Miller, with his first of the season, rounded out the Osoyoos scoring.

The Coyotes led 4-1 after one and 5-1 fol-lowing two periods of play in a game which saw the two teams combine for 161 min-utes in penalties.

The often physical and sometimes chip-pie play resulted in suspensions to a couple of Osoyoos players. Jason Bell received a match penalty for a questionable check-ing from behind call, which also landed him an accompanying four games worth of disciplinary action. He won’t be eligible to return until the playoffs. In the meantime, Jake Newton was handed a one-game suspension for being involved in a second fight during the same stoppage.

The Coyotes had no trouble responding to the Chiefs’ attempts at intimidation en route to the convincing win.

Kyle Laslo earned the victory in net, his 28th, as Osoyoos outshot Kelowna 34-21 overall.

Stefan Jensen followed up Friday night’s outstanding effort with an encore perfor-mance on Sunday afternoon in Armstrong.

The Oliver native was in on all four goals,

notching a hat trick along with one assist. The Knights played the Coyotes tough

in this one. The game was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes and 3-3 headed for the third.

Jensen’s third marker of the contest at 4:31 of the final period proved to be the game winner.

Shots were 33-24 in favour of Osoyoos. Back-up Shanson Lunny got the start for the Coyotes, but was pulled in favour of Kyle Laslo early in the second after allow-ing three goals on just 10 shots. Osoyoos trailed North Okanagan 3-2 at the time. Laslo was perfect the rest of the way, stop-ping all 14 shots he faced in picking up the decision, victory number 29 on the season, matching his jersey number.

The Yotes only dressed 18 players for the game, missing the injured likes of Corey Al-len, Sam Nigg and Jordan Simpson, as well as the suspended Jason Bell and Jake New-ton. Affiliate players Cory Hochhausen and Josh Wickenheiser, both from the Kelowna Midget “AAA” squad, filled in nicely. Ste-phen Hynes received a one game suspen-sion for fighting beyond the 10 minute mark of the third period.

The now 39-2-2-4 Osoyoos Coyotes take their 84 point total into Wednesday night’s 7:05 p.m. hosting of Sicamous at the Oliver Arena. The Eagles were the last team to beat Osoyoos, way back on December 3.

North Okanagan returns Sunday’s fa-vour by visiting the Sun Bowl on Friday night. The Coyotes conclude the regular season Saturday night at Kamloops.

The Okanagan Division Best-of-Seven Semi-Final Playoff Series against the Pent-icton Lakers gets underway on February 15 in Osoyoos.

Cool as ice Jensen propels Coyotes with hat trick

Great performances by Stefan Jensen (left) and Thierry Martine from Oliver are giving the Coy-otes the reputation they deserve. The co-captains are looking forward to Wednesday night’s game against Sicamous at the Oliver arena starting at 7:05 p.m.
