Over the last 86 years the 香蕉视频直播 has served the Central Okanagan 香蕉视频直播� and over the last 86 years it has printed a whole lot of papers. A conservative estimate puts it at around 8,000 editions.

Each Thursday we will present Cap News Throwback Thursday at kelownacapnews.com for a fun little peek into the past, and we will re-visit those editions here in print on Fridays.

Today we present the 香蕉视频直播 - Wednesday Sept. 13, 1978 edition.

After a wetter-than-average August, the rain was still pouring in Kelowna and people were getting tired of it. The cover story of the 1978 edition of the Capital News covers the weather complainers and showcases some soggy looking residents.

The article notes that many Labour Day activities were cancelled due to the wet stuff and that meteorologists thought they may be on track to set a wettest September record. Jump forward now to September 2017 and Kelowna residents are begging for a few more drops of rain after an unprecedented dry spell this summer.

On top of the dreary weather, Kelowna beer drinkers were up in arms about their lack of access to Canadian brew. American beer had filled local liquor shelves following a brewery-worker strike earlier that year. According to the article, 70,000 cases of Canadian beer was being kept at a warehouse by the BC Liquor Store. They said they didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to offer the Canadian beer until the excess American options had sold out.

Despite the rain and beer blues, good news did hit the pages of the Capital News in the form of a job announcement. The federal government had just announced 49 new projects in the region that would generate 245 Okanagan jobs.

Deathsport starring David Carradine and Playboy Playmate Claudia Jennings, would become one of Jennings香蕉视频直播� final movies before her death.

Fun Fact: Tony Hulskamp celebrated his 100th birthday in 1987 with a large party at Sutherland Manor. Despite the momentous occasion, the centenarian was not all that impressed. 香蕉视频直播淚 think it is really nice that they had a birthday party for me and that all these people showed up but being 100 is not that hard to do. All you have to do is look after yourself,香蕉视频直播� said Hulskamp in the 1978 article.
