A bit of history:

Oliver Super Valu Bighorns Started around 1973-75 by Wally Brogan and Kerry Gibson with players –

John Kesselring
George Taylor
John Surovy
Sandy  Pascuzzo – looking for correct spellin’
Jim Sabyan
Brent Feist
John Echlin
Terry Jartus
Team then sort of tailed off a bit when Gibson and Brogan got too busy with store. Ron Brimacombe (father) and Willy Feist (father) kept the interest up. I came back from Vancouver in 1977 and got us into the North Okanagan hockey league for 3 years. That League folded. 7 of us kept playing for the Vernon Cougars for 2 years.
Finn-Air approached me and * Blair Chapman from OK Falls about getting a group together and touring Sweden and Finland for 2 weeks.
Group of  25 left last week of November  1984. One of the adults – William Good Bennest. We played 7 games overseas.
History by Doug Bennest
Back to the game locally. All tickets sold out January 11th and Oliver Parks and Recreation Society marketing the game and the program.
Thanks to Paul Johnson for the picture names.

Cannabis Capital ?

January 21, 2019, 4:38 pm

Back End of Owl pub proposed for cannabis store

Three operators desire to sell recreational cannabis products in Osoyoos.

All need site specific zoning approval from the Town of Osoyoos before approaching the Province of BC (BC L.C. CB) for permission and a license.

Monday at Council – those councillors present debated several cannabis related issues:

a. Councillors Rhodes and Bennett absent from the chambers with CJ on the phone from Yuma and Myers* in Mexico with no telephone access
b. decisions to be made with Mayor McKortoff and Councillors Jim King and Brian Harvey
c. first item – application for a change in zoning to allow the Owl Pub complex to add a cannabis story on the north end
d. second item – business license fees for cannabis operations vs regular retail outlets including drug stores selling controlled drug substances.

First approved by council with construction in progress

Ok,  what happened:

Council gave first and second reading to a bylaw to rezone the Owl Pub property (to Commercial site specfic) and set a Public Hearing for February 19th
Town staff have also requested the Pub owners to open up blocked off parking spaces below the street level services on Spartan Avenue

Council voted on a $500 Business License fee for cannabis operations – defeated in a 2 for and 2 against motion
Council voted on a $300 Business License fee for cannabis operations – defeated in a 2 for and 2 against motion

When Councillor Bennett returns the vote will be reset with 5 councilors in the room February *4th.

Public Hearing today on this Main Street store from for cannabis sales

This location at 8322 Main Street. Brief public hearing on that at 4pm Monday – no one from the public attended other than the applicant.

Now some perspective:

Three applications in Osoyoos. So far none in Oliver even though signs are for a couple in that locale.

The difference – Osoyoos wants to vote on each store. Oliver wants any store to be in a commercial zone – as many can fill empty retail space and caveat emptor (buyer aware). The strong survive.

Bin Boyz

January 21, 2019, 10:23 am

Welcome to a new business in Oliver!

Local entrepreneur, Louise Conant, has the experience and determination needed to be successful. If you’ve had the chance to meet Louise in her role as the office manager of the EZ Fuel station several years ago, or perhaps at her current position as the operator of the EZ Storage facility in Gallagher Lake, you will know that this lady knows business. Her quick wit and big hearty laugh are a magnet for customers that appreciate honesty and great customer service.

Her latest venture sees her purchasing some pretty impressive inventory! Enough steel waste disposal bins to cover a football field. And the new name? Bin Boyz. Yep, there’s a girl running the show, but it’s her Boyz she’s most proud of.

Conant says “You can dump your waste in any bin… but it’s the service and the drivers that really make the difference.” Driver/operators Roy Willson and Jim Dial will be the original Bin Boyz, and Conant has plans (as any good entrepreneur would) to expand in the near future.

“My drivers understand the importance of timing and reliability when our customers are depending on us. It is a frustrating and inefficient waste of resources to have trades sitting and waiting for a bin to arrive or be removed at a construction site, for example.” says Conant. “There will be some juggling to do as we get our fleet of bins up and rolling, but our primary focus will definitely be on customer satisfaction.”

“It’s been so exciting watching those bins roll out of the shop with their bold new graphics applied. Drivers Jim and Roy have hit the ground running, and we already have some of those shiny new bins out there doing their job and getting dirty!”

If you are need of a waste disposal bin for your next project, demolition or construction… give Bin Boyz a call and chat with owner, Louise Conant.
