Both the yes and no sides in the
prison campaign in Lumby are wondering why it is taking so long for the
Solicitor General's Office to announce where a jail will go in the
Okanagan. `No' campaigner Huguette Allen says the province put a
deadline on submissions and then promised a quick decision. Allen has written once again to the solicitor general complaining
that the delay is costing money and perpetuating a divide in the Lumby
community where there has been resentment between opposing sides. Allen
wants Lumby ``at least'' taken off the list of potential sites.The `No' campaigner says municipalities and indian bands rushed
to hold opinion polls and put together submissions only to have
Victoria delay its decision when it had stated that would come in June.

Do RCMP with prisons in their communities have patrol partners?
Under the best of circumstances I wouldn't want someone I cared about attending calls alone on isolated dark roads.
Add a prison and its attendant issues to the mix, and it gets a whole lot scarier.
