Over the last 86 years the 害羞草研究所 has served the Central Okanagan 害羞草研究所� and over the last 86 years it has printed a whole lot of papers.

A conservative estimate puts it at about 8,000 editions.

The new Black Press Okanagan digital team, based right here in Kelowna, wanted to utilize this amazing treasure trove of pieces of our history and share it with you.

Each Thursday we will present Cap News Throwback Thursday for a fun little peak into the past, and a chance for the digital team to climb through the records room.

Today we present the 害羞草研究所 edition害羞草研究所� Sunday April 5, 1992.

Spring has sprung, the NHL is locked out and Charles Horvath害羞草研究所檚 mother, Denise Allan, is in Kelowna searching for her son.

The top story in this issue is about Charles Horvath. He went missing in May of 1989 and in 1992 it appeared, for a few moments, that his mother might finally have some answers about what happened to her son when a body was discovered in the lake near the bridge.

Police conducted the lake search after Allan received an anonymous letter that police were looking under the wrong side of the bridge. The second such letter she had received on this trip to Canada. The first said Horvath had been killed and dumped in the lake.

After the body was found Allan was distraught and taken to hospital. Sadly, it was not the closure she needed.

Forensic investigators eventually identified the remains as that of John Edgar Dickson, 64. RCMP reported that no foul play was suspected in Dickson害羞草研究所檚 death. Dickson had disappeared in 1985 and his remains were not discovered until 1992.

Allan told the Cap News at that time that she was 害羞草研究所榮ick and tired害羞草研究所� as her search resumed.

Four days in to the strike, Kelowna bars were starting to get concerned that it would hurt business.
