An Island man was sentenced to four months in jail and ordered to pay over $10,000 in compensation in provincial court Wednesday, for dumping untreated human sewage on a farm field in Wheatley River. Winston Sentner, who formerly owned and operated a septic pumping business, pleaded guilty after he was charged last fall with trespassing and damage to private property. The damage to property consisted of Sentner dumping close to 2,500 litres of human sewage on his neighbour's... land.
