Premier details affordable housing project Robin Grant Review Staff

More families and seniors in Keremeos will have an affordable place to call home thanks to a partnership between the province and the Lower Similkameen Community Services Society. “People shouldn’t be forced to leave the communities they call home to find the affordable housing they need,” said Premier John Horgan. “That is why we are working hard to build affordable homes in Keremeos and other small, hardworking communities throughout B.C.” The Lower Similkameen Community Services Society is receiving $4.1 million from the province’s Building BC: Community Housing Fund to build 41 much-needed new homes for people with low to moderate incomes. Projected monthly rental rates will range between $375 and $1,440. “Through the Community Housing Fund, we are addressing gaps in the market, creating the types of homes that people can afford, from growing families to seniors on fixed incomes,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “And our progress to date has been made possible because of the commitment of partners like Lower Similkameen Community Services Society.” Located at 715 7th Street, the project will be designed to include one-, two- and three-bedroom units, including several accessible homes. The three-storey building will also have commercial space on the ground floor for the society’s community service programs and offices. “The Village of Keremeos very much appreciates the investment

Kilpoola bird project spots endangered species Review Staff

For the second year in a row, a count of birds breeding in the Okanagan has brought awareness to endangered bird species, with this year’s count taking place in the Kilpoola area west of Osoyoos on June 9. The Chopaka East and Kilpoola Lake area is an important bird and biodiversity area (IBA), supporting nationally significant populations of several rare bird species. Eleven experienced volunteer birders surveyed the area, noting all the bird species encountered. Other wildlife including bear, deer, coyote, badger and snakes were also noted. Matthias Bieber, co-care-

taker for the area, said volunteers counted more than 100 different bird species, including several endangered and threatened species. The results are available on eBird.org, an international bird database. This IBA is one of five in the South Okanagan. There are more than 10,000 designated IBAs in more than 200 countries worldwide, which includes nearly 600 in Canada and more than 80 in B.C. The B.C. Field Ornithologists provided funding to support this scientific count and the volunteers contributed their time and expertise for the day.

Ambassador hopes to inspire young people By Robin Grant Review Staff

Keremeos has a new youth ambassador and she is hoping to inspire other young people in her community. Cawston resident Raven Dennis took over the helm from last year’s ambassador, Katie Squakin, on Victoria Day weekend. So far, Dennis has volunteered at the Keremeos Elks Rodeo and several other events. On Canada Day, she will be helping with the celebrations in town. “I want to encourage young people to do more outgoing things and I want to be a role model to younger girls by being their real-life princess,” she said when asked what she hopes to achieve during her time as Keremeos and area ambassador. “Also just to show everybody that I am still me, even though I’m wearing the crown and volunteering, I’m still me.” This year, Dennis, who is 14 years old and being home-schooled, was the only candidate for the position. Despite that, she said putting herself out there for the role was still challenging in some ways. She pointed to writing a speech on the history of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, which is her sponsor, and presenting it in front of a room full of people as two examples. “It’s a lot of hard work, but it is wonderful. It’s really neat to meet

new friends. It’s nice to see more of the community when I volunteer at events. I hope to volunteer as much as I can with the entire town and be a good representative of Keremeos at every single place I go,” she said. Ultimately, Dennis said her aim is to encourage youth—especially girls—to step outside of their comfort zone. “It’s helped me meet a lot more new friends and helped me put myself out there. It’s one of my duties to encourage youth to do what they love, and, even though it is a bit of hard work, to try and get what they want.” “I want to inspire younger girls to be their own little princess in their own little ways.” Coun. Sherry Philpott-Adhikary described Dennis as accomplished for her age. “She has self-discipline, speaks well in public and is quick to learn new tasks. She has represented the village well for the short time she has been an ambassador. Her enthusiasm for the program makes her a perfect ambassador,” Philpott-Adhikary said. The Keremeos and area ambassador program was started in 2014 by Philpott-Adhikary. It replaces the former royalty program and both genders are allowed to participate and less emphasis is placed on clothing and appearance. Newly crowned Keremeos and area ambassador Raven Dennis and outgoing ambassador Katie Squakin pose for a photo. (Contributed)

Interactive business map now online Kristi Patton Review Staff

The Keremeos area’s new interactive business map is up and running on the village’s website providing an opportunity for area businesses to showcase their operations to a broader audience online. The map features a variety of businesses and services within the Keremeos area and provides links to their websites and social

media channels, giving users a more in-depth understanding about their operations and what they have to offer. The map also showcases local area attractions including wineries, art galleries and heritage sites. Users can search for businesses and services by category, learn about public amenities (such as the health centre, library and post office), local tourist and transport amenities (gas stations, mechanic

shops, campsites and bed and breakfasts) and area activities such as hiking, fishing, skating, floating down the Similkameen River. The business map will be featured through an upcoming social media ad campaign promoting the community in larger centres. Businesses that want to be added to the interactive map can do so free of charge. Submission forms are online at http://www.

keremeos.ca/Interactive-Business-Map. Once filled out the form can be emailed to coordinator@keremeos.ca, by faxing a copy to 250-499-5477 or by mailing or dropping a copy off at the Village office (702 4th St., PO Box 160 Keremeos, B.C. V0X 1N0). Administrators ask that businesses provide current contact information along with any photographs they wish to be included with the submission.

Two arrested for alleged car-jacking in OK Falls Kristi Patton Review Staff

Okanagan Falls Elementary School was on lockdown for an hour on June 20 as Penticton RCMP searched for suspects in an alleged carjacking. Const. James Grandy said a woman called 911 to report her vehicle being stolen at 9 a.m. by a man who threatened her with bear spray while she was parking her vehicle in Branch No. 192

a lot on Westminster Ave. W. in Penticton. After the stolen vehicle was spotted being driven to Okanagan Falls, numerous officers in the area responded including the RCMP helicopter. This prompted the school to be put on a “hold and secure” from about 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. “The suspects ditched the victim’s vehicle after seeing a large police presence. A general duty officer spotted one of the suspects running down a steep hill near Highway

97 and Main Street and was able to capture him,” said Grandy. He added that with help from the general public, the other suspect was later captured on Cedar Street without incident. “Crimes such as this are not typical in Penticton and are taken very seriously. Our officers, while working as a cohesive team, were able to quickly and safely capture those responsible,” said Grandy.

We’re still waiting It’s been nearly six years since, speaking at a Kelowna rally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized. Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others. The Liberals defaulted on their promise to reform the electoral system, and you have to wonder if the promise of legal recreational cannabis is going to be substantially complete before the next federal election, this fall. It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Though it took three years—three months later than the July 1, 2018 date first promised—they did deliver on the legislation last October. But even though they had those three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute. So far, relatively few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada. Notably, the first to open in B.C. was a provincial government-operated store in Kamloops. But most of the many applications from hopeful private retailers in the Okanagan and around the province are still waiting for the dual approval they need from the province and their municipal government. It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization, which was a popular idea long before the Liberals decided to run with it. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped, only needing fine tuning to match the fed’s ideas. By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied, with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market farther underground. You would think governments didn’t want the tax money that cannabis retail stores are going to generate. – Black Press

Clearcutting leaves all of us poorer Earlier this month, hundreds of British Columbians visited MLA offices across the province demanding protection of endangered oldgrowth forests and improved forest management, during a day of action organized by Sierra Club BC. In response, David Elstone, the executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, accused our organization of not acknowledging the economic importance of old-growth logging and claimed that clearcutting what little remains is sustainable (B.C. has most sustainably managed forests in the world, June 6). He was joined by columnist Tom Fletcher repeating outdated claims about the climate benefit of replacing old-growth forests with young trees. Fletcher ignores modern science showing that clearcutting ancient trees results in the rapid loss of huge amounts of carbon accumulated over hundreds of years (Urban environmental “emergency” routine wearing thin, June 9). Sierra Club BC is concerned about the economic, social and ecological impact of clearcutting endangered

old-growth forests. True sustain- nually to provincial carbon dioxide ability is leaving similar values and emissions. conditions for future generations. But Elstone highlights that in recent B.C.’s ancient giants years close to half of have been reduced to the volume cut on Vancouver Island a fraction of their former extent, replaced came from old-growth. by young, uniform Today the Island’s proforests cut in short roductive old-growth tation forestry, never (forests with relatively allowed to grow old big trees, not bonsai sized trees that govagain.

Guest Column

Climate impacts will worsen without the shield of intact ancient forests to reduce droughts, floods and fires. Degraded landscapes will impact the quality of drinking water and allow fewer options for a diverse economy that includes tourism and recreation. The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s oldgrowth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly sustainable forest management. We can still choose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned selective logging. This would deliver “negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting. Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support. The longer we wait the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces. Jens Wieting is a senior forest and climate campaigner with Sierra Club BC.

Women in trades at OC

Michael Rodriguez Black Press Media

Okanagan College celebrated 1,000 students that came out of its Women in Trades Training (WITT) program this week. The 12-week program is meant to help increase the number of female apprentices in B.C. “Our government is committed to cultivating winning conditions to support women in the trades,” said Melanie Mark, B.C. Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “We need to move the dial for women in all areas of the trades. Okanagan College’s Women in Trades Training Program is creating a pathway to boost the number of certified trades people to help meet the growing labour-market demand.” The program has been available since 2009 and in that time has trained around 100 women

a year in exploratory trades programs as well as foundation pre-apprenticeships. The session exposes women to the tools of five or six different trades, allowing them to find which trade best suits their skills. “I needed options. I needed guidance. I needed something that would help me find my own identity again,” said Johanna Turangan-Grieve, a former participant of the program and now a fourth-year carpenter apprentice. “Women in Trades did exactly that and so much more. This program highlights the power and importance of sisterhood. The bonds that I have made with my classmates and many other fellow women in trades throughout my journey has been very powerful for me.” Applications for the program are still being accepted for the fall semester at Okanagan College’s Kelowna and Vernon campuses.

MP takes medical errors petition to Ottawa By Robin Grant Review Staff

A retired nurse living in Penticton has been successful in getting her message about Canada’s high rate of deadly medical errors to the House of Commons in Ottawa. Teri McGrath started an online petition in March hoping to draw attention to the issue and what she considers an unfair system for patients claiming compensation. South Okanagan-West Kootenay NDP MP Richard Cannings presented the petition, which received 844 signatures by its June 13 deadline, to the House of Commons. Cannings read from McGrath’s research that revealed medical errors kill 30,000 Canadians each year and are the third leading cause of death in the country. The process to obtain compensation for those errors is difficult because millions of taxpayer dollars are used to fight patient claims. “The only compensation they have is tort law, which ties up our

patient must take legal action to prove injury, negligence or cause. Under a no-fault compensation system, an expert panel evaluates whether the injury was caused by a preventable medical error. The patient does not have to go to court or prove negligence to be eligible for compensation. Countries such as New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, France and some U.S. states have the system. McGrath said the petition is just the first step. But she said she is encouraged that the public responded NDP MP Richard Cannings presented Penticton resident Teri McGrath’s petition on medical errors in Canada to with so many signathe House of Commons on June 18.

Last loaves of bread from Walla Bakery By Jordyn Thomson Black Press Media

The beloved baker at Walla Artisan Bakery died on June 15 due to complications from ALS. Ben Manea, 62, died peacefully with his wife, Sharon Wiener, at his side. Wiener said Manea “was in good spirits” and had already prepared the bakery’s dough for the coming week so it was the community’s last chance to have one of his delicious creations. “He did what he does every week with the staff, which was prepare the dough for the week in advance. So it’s already sitting there ready to be shaped and baked,” said Wiener. “His friends said they want to do what they think Ben would have liked, which is to use the dough. So, of course, we’re going to honour him in that way.” Wiener said she and community members “tried a whole variety of possibilities” to keep the bakery, located inside the Cannery Trade Centre in Penticton, running these past few months since the symptoms of Manea’s disease resulted in him needing help in the kitchen. There are no plans to continue operations after June 21. “I have the recipes of his on video and on audio, and I had intended to keep them for the purpose of sharing them with whoever might have taken over the business but that didn’t happen,” said Wiener. “I have no plan at this moment with what to do with them, but they’re here for us.” Wiener said since Manea’s diagnosis, they’ve been taking every opportunity to spend time with one another and enjoy the small moments.

Walla Artisan Bakery’s beloved baker Ben Manea died unexpectedly on June 15, 2019, due to complications from ALS. His wife, Sharon Wiener, said the bakery will be operating one final week using dough Manea had prepared. (Jordyn Thomson – Western News) While they were given a general time frame by was excited about what was happening,” said doctors of how long Manea would have, Wiener Wiener. “We had two friends visiting (this past said he was full of life right until the end. weekend) from out of town whom we were “He was in wonderful spirits. He had been having a wonderful time with. So all in all, it showing me all of his recipes and given me was really very wonderful. a long list of items to buy so that he could “But as a consequence of the ALS symptoms, make nougats and gelato. He was planning to you just never know when these things are going make all of that this week with his staff. So he to happen, and in some ways perhaps this may

have been a blessing for him.” While baking was his passion and the symptoms of his disease prevented him from continuing to run the bakery on his own, Wiener said Manea happily transitioned to a supervisory role to see his work continued. “It was still exciting for him to be in the bakery every morning. He didn’t want to be at home watching television,” said Wiener. “He wanted to be of use in some way. It was important for him to have a purpose and for him to get out of bed every morning and come to work. Even if it was just for a few hours, so he could be there when the baking happened.” Wiener said memorial cards featuring a quote Manea wrote will be available at the bakery all week. “It is my good luck that, although this has happened to me, I can bear it without pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearful of the future. Because such a thing could have happened to any man, but not every man could have borne it without pain. So why see more misfortune in the event than good fortune in your ability to bear it?” Manea wrote. She said there will also be a guest book for customers to sign, and everyone is encouraged to post tributes to Manea on the bakery’s Facebook page. Wiener said Manea was eternally grateful for the support he was given by his friends, which he deemed his “band of brothers,” and customers at the bakery. In the future when she has more time, Wiener has plans to return to her career of teaching meditation and counselling.

Celtic Litha & Summer Solstice By Maria O’Farrell Carr

The Goddess is now full and pregnant with Child, and the Sun God is at the height of His virility. This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements. Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year. At this time the God, as Oak King, is rich in abundance, but he too surrenders his reign to his brother twin, the Holly King, and the descent begins. But before we welcome the return to the Dark side of the year, and acknowledge this great turning point of the Wheel, we celebrate! Traditions and Symbols of Midsummer The Bonfire Traditionally people stayed up all night on Midsummer’s Eve to welcome and watch the sunrise. Bonfires were lit on tops of hills, by holy wells, at places held sacred, to honour the fullness of the Sun. At Litha the bonfire really represents a reflection of the Sun at the peak of its strength. The chosen wood would often be Oak and aromatic herbs were scattered into the fire. People danced around the fires and leaped through them. Blazing herbs from the sacred bonfire were used to bless the animals. Blazing torches were carried sunwise around homes and fields. Coals from the Midsummer fire were scattered on fields to ensure a good harvest. The Oak Tree worship has always played a large role in Midsummer festivities and trees near wells and fountains were decorated with coloured cloths. The Oak King who has ruled the waxing of the year represents strength, courage and endurance, and the Oak has always been particularly significant at Litha. The Celtic name for Oak is ‘Duir’ which means ‘doorway’ - we are crossing the

threshold, entering the doorway into the second, waning part of the year. Mistletoe Mistletoe was and is, highly revered by the Druids. It is regarded as particularly potent when it grows on Oak, the noblest of trees, growing between the worlds of Heaven and Earth. Although it is more commonly associated with Yule and the Winter Solstice, it was often gathered ceremonially at Midsummer when it is regarded as being at the height of its power. Herbs All herbs are reaching their peak at this time of year and thus the fullness of their healing and nurturing potency. Giving a bunch of herbs as a gift on Midsummer Day is wonderful. Flowers All of the flower kingdom is reaching its peak, wide open, full of colour, surrendering their perfume. Honey Our lovely bees are now making honey. Midsummer full moon is known as the ‘Honey Moon’ for the mead made from honey now available. This is often part of handfastings performed at the Summer Solstice. Mead is regarded as the divine solar drink, with magical and life-restoring properties. Drink to celebrate and toast the life-giving abundance of the Sun. Colours of Midsummer Well, take your pick! The natural world is full of colour at this time. Choose blue for the sky, green for the grass, yellow for the Sun. Or red, orange and purple to honour all the blooming flowers. Or choose the colours of the four elements - red, blue, green and yellow. We’ve been discussing this one amongst ourselves and generally agree that what matters is that you choose and work with the colours that speak to you at each Festival - what matters a little more is that you then work with those colours consistently every year.

A Kelowna bus driver’s attempt to keep his job has failed after an arbitrator ruled that his firing for texting and driving while working was not an excessive response by his

employer. Tim Wesman was found to have been using his cellphone while operating a bus in Kelowna for First Canada ULC in January. According to a labour arbitration

decision, Wesman uses his phone while driving a bus full of passengers for one minutes and 14 seconds—at one point driving as fast as 45 kilometres per hour. The incident was caught on camera by

TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAN GO MANY WAYS PRACTICEKIDS.CA

another transit driver who was on the bus at the time, who then reported it to a supervisor. Wesman was fired following an internal investigation into the matter. With his transit union’s support, Wesman attempted to get his job back arguing that he was terminated “without just cause for texting while driving an in-service transit bus.” Wesman stated to be going through personal distress at the time with the death of his father and a sick girlfriend he was calling to check on. The arbitrator for the case ruled with First Canada and found that the termination was not an excessive response in these circumstances. Wesman said during the investigation that it was a “momentary lapse of judgment that I regret.”

CLUES ACROSS

Aries, you have a few questions but not too many answers. Seek the help of others as you try to answer your questions and be sure to thank them for their cooperation. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a friend has something to confide, so make sure you are ready to hear what this person has to say. It is alright to be a little apprehensive. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Try to focus your thoughts on positive things, Gemini; otherwise, negativity can be overwhelming. If need be, make a gratitude journal that can help you express your feelings. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if work has been taking up too much of your time, you may need to schedule a few days off and focus on recharging yourself. Enjoy some well-earned rest and relaxation. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may need to get a few people on your team in order to come out ahead, Leo. It always helps to have some extra support in your corner and a cheering squad. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may soon realize that you are pouring a lot of energy into something that does not feel rewarding. Take some time to reconsider the path you’re on. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, someone close to you appreciates all the support you have been offering, even if he or she isn’t able to say it often enough. Keep on being the best version of you. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 If it seems like you can’t turn off your brain, Scorpio, you are not alone. Others may feel overstimulated, and you can seek them out for some advice. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Tackling too many projects at the same time is a recipe for burnout, Sagittarius. This week you have to slow the pace down a bit or call in some reinforcements. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A new chapter in your life could be unfolding soon, Capricorn. Don’t be surprised when certain opportunities come your way in the next few days. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, someone close to you may be going through a difficult situation. All you can do is be as supportive as possible over the next few days. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Explore several creative possibilities to figure out what path may appeal to you, Pisces. Once you zero in on an activity, make it yours.
