“Despicable behavior will not be tolerated”

January 23, 2019, 9:11 pm

RCMP officers attempted to stop a stolen vehicle Tuesday west of Kaleden resulting in the driver ramming several police vehicles and attempting to escape on foot.

Around noon January 22nd, Members with the “Targeted Enforcement Unit” (TEU) observed a stolen vehicle being driven by 43 year old Ronald Stewart accompanied by a female passenger. Officers attempted to arrest the occupants when the truck was parked in a Penticton motel lot.

When Stewart saw Police moving in, he reversed the stolen truck into a Police vehicle.

Officers, with the assistance of a police dog, located the vehicle near the Twin Lakes gas station.

Once again – Stewart saw officers moving in, got back into the vehicle, put it into gear, and violently rammed into one of the Police vehicles. Stewart was able to drive out of the gas station, and onto the Highway, where he lost control, enabling Officers to nudge it safely into a ditch.

Both Stewart and the female passenger, left the truck and ran off, however, the Police dog subdued them.

Stewart is charged with assaulting a Police Officer with a weapon, possessing stolen property, and dangerous driving.

“Criminals using vehicles to ram Police vehicles are becoming increasingly common. “This type of despicable behaviour will not be tolerated”, stresses Cpl. Van Every.

Obituary for the late

Barbara Sutcliffe Race

May 6, 1939 – January 21, 2019

 

On Monday, January 21, 2019, Mrs. Barbara Sutcliffe Race of Oliver passed away peacefully at Sunnybank Centre after a long illness at the age of 79 years.

She was predeceased by her parents Tom and Agnes Roe and brother Matt Roe.

Barb will be fondly remembered by her loving family including husband Ernie Race of 58 years; sons Jon Race and Phil Race (Jan) as well as grandchildren Franki and Brett.

Barb trained in England as a school teacher before coming to Canada in 1960 and taught in the NWT, Yukon and other parts of BC before settling in Oliver in 1977 where Barb and Ernie ran a couple of businesses.

Barb and Ernie spent their first seventeen years (1960 – 1977) in Canada living in seven different mining towns in the NWT, Yukon and BC. While on a family vacation travelling through the Okanagan in 1970, Barb and Ernie decided Oliver was where they wanted to end up. Seven years later they arrived for good, spending the next 42 years here.

Over the years, Barb volunteered with the Lady Lions, the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift shop, hosted Japanese exchange students, loved knitting hats, toques, scarfs and mittens for church groups to distribute to children in need and volunteered in Mexico feeding the needy.

Barb enjoyed sewing, knitting, gardening, curling, travelling and golf, including the ever elusive hole-in-one that is still eluding Ernie.

Donations are gratefully accepted for Freemasons’ Cancer Car Program.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday February 2, 2019 at the Oliver Elks Hall.

Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com

Osoyoos council briefs

January 23, 2019, 8:21 am

1.Councillors in Osoyoos have given pre-budget approval for doing an OCP review that could cost more than $150 thousand dollars. Council will spend $100,000. in this budget year and $50,000 next year. Mayor Sue McKortoff stated it was a requirement and it coincides with a similar one in Rural Area C RDOS.

2. The West Bench recreation area north of Osoyoos Secondary will get a new washroom – the cost $115 thousand and that amount given pre-budget approval Monday. West Bench is used for pickle ball, dog park and access to the old canal pathway.

3. Council is looking to long term leases on several facilities. The curling club and golf course will be leased to a society running each for ten years. In the past all leases were for 5 years. Annual fee $1. The curling rink lease started in 1975 and the golf course 4 years earlier than that.
