Manhunt for violent fugitive ends in Cawston orchardTara Bowie

Spotlight StaffA two-day manhunt that tore through the

South Okanagan came to a dramatic conclu-sion in a Cawston orchard.

At 10:40 a.m. Thursday, July 23, police apprehended Ronald Arthur Teneycke at Taylor Farms on Barcello Road.

Teneycke appeared in court Friday and now faces charges of robbery and using an imitation firearm to commit an indictable offence.

The prolific offender is also facing one count of being unlawfully at large and three counts of breaching probation.

RCMP issued a warning Wednesday that Teneycke was considered armed and extremely dangerous and was in the Oliver area.

On Thursday morning an RCMP officer involved in the search spotted a truck near Cawston that looked like the one Teneycke had allegedly stolen a day earlier after a vio-lent attack.

The officer approached and identified Teneycke alone in the vehicle and Teneycke

attempted to flee heading toward Fairview-Cawston Road.

Bryan Dyck, the orchard owner’s son-in-law, was in the orchard at the time of the arrest.

As he pruned in the orchard he watched helicopters search the area from the air most of the morning and thought it likely had to do with Teneycke.

When he saw the helicopters start to come down he decided to head in that direction.

Dyck said RCMP T-boned a truck, push-ing it into the orcharde believes Teneycke was inside. He heard a series of gun shots.

As he came out of an orchard row, he came face-to-face with a police officer.

“He told me I better get out of there. Here I am with pruning shears in my hands and he’s telling me to get out of there and I’m hearing shots,” he said. “I’d say I was about 20 feet from them. I’m not sure who was shooting at who.”

Cpl. Dave Tyreman was not able to con-firm or deny that shots had been fired from

While a witness heard shots during the take-down of fugitive Ronald Arthur Teneycke, police would not confirm if gunfire was involved in the arrest.

Council continues to identify and confirm the needs of our community, and discuss the approaches to meeting those needs. The Town has completed many of the identified projects in accordance with our priority schedule, while a number of projects remain in progress. We have accomplished this by accessing available grant funding, efficiently scheduling projects, and leveraging budgeted funding effectively.

Better bus service may be on its way to Princeton – but it isn’t exactly right around the corner.

A strategy to improve bus service in and around Princeton would benefit local riders and make it easier for residents to travel to Penticton and Kelowna, according to managers at BC Transit.

However it could be several years before new services are in place, and the plan relies on funding from both the provin-cial and municipal levels that is currently not available.

The Okanagan-Similkameen Transit Future Plan – devel-oped by BC Transit after consultation with stakeholders through out the regional district – was presented to town council last week.

It calls for expanded service from Princeton to Kemereos in the next five years, including twice weekly trips between the communities, three new routes within the local market, as well as schedule adjustments that would allow riders from

the area to make regional connections between Penticton and Kelowna.

“Here in Princeton we have a lot of local transit users and we need to improve local transit,” said Maria Lockley, senior transit planner.

Princeton currently has 287 registered transit users, and there is a waiting list for trips.

Transit use in Princeton has increased in the past year by approximately seven per cent, she said.

Currently the Princeton bus system offers door-to-door service within town, and Monday, Wednesday, Friday service to Penticton via Keremeos.

Lockley described the plan to increase trips and ridership as putting “building blocks” in rural communities that can be tapped to extend the regional transit network.

There is no cost attached to the plan at this time, “but it’s going to cost more,” she told the Spotlight following the meeting.

Currently BC Transit and the municipality share the cost of busing. Princeton’s annual share of the expense is approxi-mately $104,000 and it receives about $38,000 in offsetting revenues.

The one-way fare to Penticton from Princeton is $4.The first step in implementing the transit plan is to adopt

a governance strategy and create a transit committee that will include representation from local councils. Lockley said a timeline is uncertain as “we are in flat funding mode for three years. The province isn’t currently providing funding.”

Long term the plan calls for evening bus services in Princeton and Keremeos on Fridays, Saturday local service and a feasibility study on bus service between Princeton and Copper Mountain Mine.

The goal of the plan is to increase bus trip in the region from the current annual level of 494,000 to 1.74 million by 2040.

Council received the report as information.

Better busing for Princeton not right around the corner

Spotlight StaffDrought conditions in the

Similkameen were upgraded Monday afternoon to Level 4 by the provincial ministry of forestry, lands and natural resources.

“At Level 4, conditions are extremely dry,” said a govern-ment release. “Further declines in stream, lake and aquifer lev-els could lead to water short-ages and affect people, industry such as agriculture, wildlife, and fish stocks. All water users, including those who access groundwater, are urged to max-imize their water conservation efforts.”

The Level 4 drought gives regional water managers the right to suspend water licenses or short-term water approvals in affected areas, dependent on stream conditions.

Kevin Huey, Princeton’s manager of infrastructure, said the municipality is reviewing the announcement.

“This just came out this afternoon so we haven’t really had a chance to talk about it.”

He said “if conditions per-sist” it’s possible the town will further restrict lawn watering and other water uses. “We do ask residents to be concerned and to reduce. We don’t want

to put on further restrictions but will if we have to.”

Earlier this month when Level 3 drought conditions were declared, the ministry also imposed a two month fishing ban in the Similkameen and its tributaries and requested all users, including municipalities, voluntarily reduce water con-sumption by 20 per cent.

Last week the RDOS issued a statement asking regional water users to reduce water consumption by 30 per cent, and announced it had already made those adjustments to at its own parks and recreation facilities.

Province upgrades valley’s drought

Bob MarshNo charges were laid following an accident in downtown Princeton last week when a 75-year-old man on a scooter was struck by a passing BMW. RCMP, ambulance attendants and emergency services workers responded to the accident, and were assisted by passersby on the street. The man was taken to Princeton General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

VICTORIA – One of the rituals of life in south-ern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. gov-ernments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a par-ticularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper

government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington

state has climbed above $100.The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land

stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buy-ing southern U.S. sawmills.

The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and pro-cessing of logs in B.C.

With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agree-ment is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protect-ing a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

The question needs to be asked why Ronald Arthur Teneycke was allowed on the street in the first place.

Ronald Teneycke’s story is a sad one. Sad for him, and far more sad for those that crossed his path.

Over the years, Teneycke, an untreated sex offender, has bounced in and out of jail, serving time for a variety of crimes. Most recently, he pleaded guilty to making or possessing explosives and possessing a weapon con-trary to a court order and was sentenced to 90 days in jail intermittently on weekends, which he defaulted on earlier this month.

This led to the RCMP manhunt for the prolific offender, who was considered armed and dangerous.

This isn’t argument about getting tough on crime, or needing longer sentences. What we have here is an individual that the judicial system failed.

Teneycke’s record makes it clear he was unable to fit into society. But our system kept putting him back on the street, even as his behaviour got more and more erratic.

Despite designating Teneycke a prolific offender in 2013, little changed. He still continued to make regular appearances in court, breaching his probation condi-tions or being charged with new crimes.

You can look at it from two directions, either the courts needed to do a better job of protecting society from a dangerous man like Teneycke, or they needed to do a better job of getting him help, whether he wanted it or not.

The situation we face today was inevitable. Sadly, Teneycke is now endangering lives, both of the public and of the RCMP who conducted the search for him.

Now that Teneycke has been captured, we hope the courts see fit to ensure that he never be in a position to threaten this, or any, community ever again.

Three billion dollars sure is a lot of money – buys a lot of stuff.

For $3 billion you could buy The Los Angeles Lakers, the Toronto Maple Leafs AND the Chicago Cubs.

Three billion dollars will buy a round trip to the moon for four people, and the opportunity to take a moon walk.

For $3 billion you could own ten F-35C Lightning II Fighter jets and still have enough money left over to purchase the world’s most expense house, the 400,000 square foot Antilia Mumbia in India.

With three billion dollars you could purchase the Solomon Islands – a country that includes Guadacanal – two Airbus A380s – the largest pas-senger planes in the world – and 19 of the planet’s most expensive sports car, the 1963 Ferrari GTO plus a couple Lamborgini Veneno Roadsters.

According to polls conducted following last week’s release of the Harper Conservatives’ enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit $3 billion might just be enough to buy a federal election.

It’s impressive really, that a place which could arguably be described as two blocks past the middle of nowhere (hang a right at the mule-tail and avoid the rock slide) has such fine access to concerts.

Just a thumb ride away, Penticton gets its fair share of hot performers. Journey played there recently, and Ringo Starr makes an appearance in October.

Next weekend Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley and Chris Young headline the Rockin’ River Country Music Festival in Merritt.

The annual Princeton Traditional Musical Festival coming up in August is world-class. It’s easy to imagine an event of this caliber drawing many tens of thousands of fans in any urban setting.

Concerts really tell the stories of our lives. Great concert memories get filed in that cerebral envelope reserved for significant moments alongside family weddings, and where we were when the planes hit the Twin Towers. (Further comparisons between mar-

riage, terrorism and man-made disasters are solely the respon-sibility of the reader.)

I saw my first concert at 13. In an unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated act of cool parenting my father drove a car-load of barely-pubescent girls to the Kingwood Music Theatre at Canada’s Wonderland to see Bryan Adams.

The night was magic, and marked the first time I got escorted anywhere by security. It was just back to my seat, but it made me feel like what my own children would today call ‘a badass.’

In the years following there were lots of concerts, Lover Boy, Neil Young, The Who.

Not long after the Who gave it’s final, final, final farewell tour a new age of concert-going was born.

That meant Barney Live and Sharon

Lewis and Bram – I Love You, You Love Me, The Cat Came Back and Skinny Marinky Dinky Dink.

In the blink of an eye my daughter and I were buying tick-ets to see teen idols. We went to a Hilary Duff concert, and were both escorted by security back to our seats. Eventually we graduated to really enjoying shows of mutual interest like Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley.

Where does the time go? The last concert the DeMeer

girls attended together was The Bay City Rollers performing at Casino Rama. The woman beside us carried a tartan handbag and a cane.

My favorite concert memory is of Paul McCartney when he appeared at the Air Canada Centre. Although considerably older than 64, the former and still-sexy Beatle per-

formed magnificently for hours and our seats for the sold-out event were fabulous.

I floated through the days following that show, humming Band on the Run and Let it Be, clipping all the press reviews and taping them to my work station.

Even Mr. DeMeer – always more of a John Lennon guy – still talks reverently about that night. Forty thousand people in downtown Toronto for one of the city’s big-gest shows of the year and he managed to find a parking space only steps away from the venue, for a mere $15.

To this day we can’t go anyplace there are lots of cars without it coming up. The McCartney concert represents the parking coup against which all other spaces in our time together are measured.

For some people great parking space memories get filed in that cerebral envelope reserved for significant moments alongside family weddings, and where they were when the planes hit the Twin Towers.

ANDREA DEMEER

Couple uses vacations to give help and hope to othersNEWS

Art Martenslivingsignificantly.ca

At a class reunion this summer I became reacquainted with my former classmate, Dr. Art Friesen. Both Art and spouse Marlyce are highly regarded cardiologists. “Twenty five years ago,” Art told me, “Marlyce and I decided every vacation must have a purpose. We had a desire to give something of value to the area we were visiting.”

Initially there were five “vaca-tions” in China, where they taught at medical schools and hospitals. They also travelled twice to The Democratic Republic of Congo. Here they taught at a medical school and helped set up a clinic. In 1998 they visited Ukraine. In this land from which Art’s parents had emigrated in the 1920’s, they found people living in precarious circumstances. “They asked us to come and help, so we did,” he said.

In 2000 they attended a meeting with other concerned individuals at the University of Toronto. Most were Mennonites from Ukraine, or had relatives there. This group developed a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) with a board of 8-10 members. Art and Marlyce are on the board. “All the mem-

bers of the board are highly moti-vated and deeply involved in vari-ous ways”, he said. “We purchased a former girls school in eastern Ukraine, about 150 kilometres from the violence. When the school was completely renovated we estab-lished the Friends of Mennonite Centre.”

The organization is fund-ed almost entirely by donations from individuals around the globe, although most come from Canadians. It contributes finan-cial aid and advice to Ukrainians who want to improve their nation. “We’re a small organization,” Art said. “We don’t have many peo-ple to do the work. Anyway, it’s important that Ukrainians do the work themselves. We have 10-12 employees, including a cook.”

Many seniors in Ukraine are destitute and don’t have access to nutritious meals. Three days a week 80-120 elderly individuals show up for a free meal.

The Friends of Mennonite Centre has partnered with local govern-ments, hospitals, orphanages and schools. “We offer help and hope in tangible ways. We assist people in dire circumstances, regardless of religion, gender or ethnic back-

ground. Sometimes people ask why we do it. I say we do it in the name of Christ.”

By Canadian standards, Ukrainian medical services are abysmally lacking. In large cen-tres they are often at third world levels, according to Art. “In small communities they are generally hopeless. They have no budget. No one maintains the facilities or sup-plies medical equipment. Doctors receive $100-$200 per month. In most places they can’t live on this. Often they require payment from patients, but people don’t have the money. Our organization has paid for about 1000 medical procedures to this time. We have also estab-lished a tele-medical service.”

The Friends of Mennonite Centre has replaced the floor of a school gym. On an ongoing basis they assist destitute farmers, also mothers and families. A school for disabled and autistic children receives assistance.

Art hopes the Centre’s example will encourage the people to again build a civil society. To develop leadership, they provide scholar-ships to gifted students who want to improve their country. Currently they support 44 students, all attend-

ing universities in Ukraine. “When students attend universities else-where,” Art said, “they rarely return.”

When we were speaking by tele-phone recently, Art was at his com-puter. “Requests for help are com-ing in as we speak,” he told me. “A church is asking if we can provide kitchen equipment. A kindergarten needs new windows before winter. The army is requesting stoves so the soldiers can heat meals.”

More than a million refu-gees have left their homes due to the conflict in the neighbouring Donetsk region. The Mennonite Centre helps groups set up and operate refugee centres. Being in eastern Ukraine, most of those requiring assistance speak Russian,

so communication is through an interpreter. Financially, The Centre runs a tight ship and administration expenses are less than 10 %.

Now in semi-retirement, the Friesens could be living comfort-ably in their Abbotsford home. What they are doing may not fit our idea of a dream vacation, but the enthusiasm in Art’s voice sug-gests their “vacation” decision is giving them immense satisfaction and meaning.

Their example may provide a clue as to how each of us can add a serious dose of adventure and significance to our life. Anyone wanting more information on this intriguing project can google Mennonite Centre in Ukraine.

Rika RuebsaatThis year’s Princeton traditional

Music Festival features an exciting lineup of new talent together with many familiar faces from past years.

Linda Chobotuck from Burnaby is one of the Festival’s new performers. Linda grew up in a singing family and resented being sent to bed when her parents held a hootenany. But this experience left her with an extensive introduction to folk music in both American and British traditions. In that milieu everyone she respected as a musician was also a songwriter, so from an early age she made up songs.

Linda is best known as a singer and writer of labour songs. Her most wide-ly-known song, “Canning Salmon”, which she wrote while working in a cannery in Richmond, has been recorded by several different musical groups.

One group of familiar faces that the Festival is delighted to have back is the Vancouver Morris Men. Morris dancing is a type of folk ritual and traditional dance from England going back over 500 years. It is traditionally danced only by men.

After a two-year absence the Festival is delighted to have the Vancouver Morris Men back shar-

ing their gyrations in the streets of Princeton. The group has been togeth-er for over thirty years. Go to any street festival in the Lower Mainland and you’ll probably see them dancing with bells ringing and handkerchiefs waving. They have also been known to dance on dark, rainy parking lots on Guy Fawkes Night. Enjoy their “guer-rilla” street dancing this weekend.

Dancing, of course, requires music and morris dancing is danced only to live music. The Vancouver Morris Men dance to the strains of button accordion, fiddle or even a tuba. Dancers and musicians spell each other off so that the musicians get an opportunity to dance. This means that the Vancouver Morris Men is blessed with a wealth of fine musicians.

Sometimes the musicians in the group, under the name of Rattlebone Band, play for country dances or even just for fun. Rattlebone Band will be performing at the Festival this year and they are as swift with their fingers as they are on their feet. Group singing is a central part of the morris dance tradition. Consequently Rattlebone Band’s performance will feature lots of singing along with the instrumenta-tion.

The Vancouver Morris Men and

Rattlebone Band are just two of the performing groups appearing at this year’s Festival, and the best thing about it is it’s free!

The reason it’s free is because it’s run entirely by volunteers and the performers are donating their talents. To make the festival a success the organizers will need lots of volunteers.

If you’d like to get involved, please contact them. Even if you have only a couple of hours available your help would be most welcome. Give them a call and they’ll welcome you aboard. To find out more visit the Festival’s webblog at princetontraditional.org or give Jon and Rika a call at 295-6010.

Music Festival looking for volunteers

To the editorRecently I had the experience of

my life partner suddenly departing, and having to seek the need of certain essential services by appointment.

The arranged time arrived and I was greeted with the welcome mat by the attendant. I outlined the request of my wife – only the bare essentials. It was at this point that I felt my shoddy runners were soiling the mat.

The printed item checklist sheet we followed until we came to an item, described as a black carrying box, which was essential. I advised not necessary.

At this point I paid the bill, was surprised at the amount– but in no condition to question.

I was phoned and informed that the documents were ready as well as the work results. The only matter was that of the black box. Again not essential. But I was advised it is only $45.

Now I know that the black box on an airliner is an essential piece of equipment. Not so with my wife. She

knew where she was going and had great help on how to get there. She was a great fan of Canadian composer Paul Anka who wrote I Did It My Way.

In the meantime I had the oppor-tunity to compare similar services required by three family members in Powell River, Maple Ridge and Regina – all very happy with the results, and two neighbors, the latter being by far the most costly.

Fortunately the Town of Princeton came through by mail. I received two free tickets to make use of the local landfill. I read closely the instructions – no restrictions. So if I am lucky to add these two tickets to my will before my 85th birthday the family coffers will be saved.

We are never too old to learn. I learned when you are in a vulnerable state take a family member, friend or somebody off the street for support.

Spotlight StaffA $25,000 cattle guard recently

installed at the Princeton landfill site is already contributing to a reduction in deer in the area, according to town councillor and deer committee mem-ber Doug Pateman.

“I’ve been up there several times and they seem to be getting the hint,” he told council last Monday.

Pateman made the observation as council reviewed a resolution to be presented to the UBCM at its conven-tion in 2015. The resolution notes the BC Conservation Service “has not adequately addressed wildlife-human conflict in the town of Princeton due to lack of facility” and calls for increased funding for the service to be more active.

Jackie TegartMLA, Fraser-Nicola

Let’s suppose you’re running late for an appointment and you’ve been caught speeding in a 30 km/h zone in Princeton.

You’re pulled over and a police officer hands you a fine for $196.

What a way to start your day! But have you ever wondered

what happens to the money you and thousands of other British

Columbians pay to resolve traffic tickets?

You might be surprised to learn a portion of your fine comes back to B.C. communities twice a year in the form of a grant to fund policing initiatives and community safety projects.

There’s more. As a commu-nity with a population of less than 20,000, Princeton also qualifies for a twice-yearly Small Community grant. Since March 2011, Princeton has received $2,244,824 in Small Community grants, including $295,712 just last month.

These grant programs are great for local governments because they pay for municipal projects without affecting local taxes.

This is how they work:·The Small Community grant

program provides unconditional grants, meaning local governments can spend the funding according to their needs and priorities. The grants apply to communities with fewer than 20,000 people and are used for infrastructure, administra-

tion and delivering services.·Traffic Fine Revenue funding

comes from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets. The program returns 100 per cent of net traffic fine revenues to com-munities that are responsible for policing costs. Rural communities and municipalities with popula-tions under 5,000 who do not pay directly for policing participate in the program through a reduction in the police tax.

There is a third grant program as well. Regional District grants are also applied twice a year and, like Small Community grants, are unconditional and can be spent however each regional district sees fit to assist with administra-tion costs. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen received

$112,797 from the program last month, and $850,234 since 2011.

Since 2009, the Traffic Fine Revenue, Small Community and Regional District grant programs have provided more than $792 million in funding to communities throughout B.C., to help pay for local projects.

Unlike other grants that go toward a specific purpose, these grants can be used at each commu-nity’s discretion on local projects that might otherwise go unfunded.

Our government understands there is no standard formula for addressing priority projects in indi-vidual communities. These pro-grams allow decisions to be made locally to help pay for projects that build safer, stronger communities – without burdening local taxpayers.

Speeding tickets generate revenue for local projects

Andrea DeMeerJudy Robinson, an active member of the Otter Valley Fish and Game Club, was one of many area resi-dents to visit the BC Museum’s Species at Risk exhibit, on display at the Princeton Museum last week. Seven students also took part in a week-long day camp associated with the exhibit.

FARMERS MARKETS:Get the Tips

Plan Ahead – Before you leave home, do a bit of online research to see what’s in sea-son. The produce cycle changes through-out the year. By taking the time to research

beforehand, you won’t be surprised if what you are looking for isn’t available.

Create a Meal Plan – Try to sketch out some meal ideas ahead of time, so you know which ingredients you need when you arrive. Just like at a grocery store, it’s helpful to have a shopping list with you, so you don’t buy more than you need. However, remember to be flexible, as no two farmers markets carry all of the same items.

Come Prepared – Many farmers markets only accept cash and may not have exact change for large bills. Try to keep small denominations of money on hand when you go shopping.

Be Green – Take advantage of what a sus-tainable shopper you’ve become and bring your own reusable grocery bags. Some-times farmers markets don’t even stock their own plastic bags so by bringing your own, you will be guaranteed a way to carry home all of your purchases.

Ask Questions – If you are unsure of a product or need more information, ask the vendor! He or she will certainly have plenty to share about the item itself. They may also be eager to offer varied ways to eat or prepare the item. Who knows, you might go home with a new recipe!

EATING LOCAL:Did you know that the average ingredient in a North American meal travels 1,500 miles

from farm to plate?

On the other hand most local produce has been picked inside of 24 hours. Local produce comes to you ripe, fresh and, harvested with its full flavor.

Close-to-home foods can also be bred for tasting at the opportune time and delivered fresh, rather than bred for durability so they can withstand the long distance travel it

takes to deliver it to far away stores.

LOCAL NON PROFIT GROUPS BENEFIT WHEN YOU SHOP LOCAL

1. Buy Local -- Support yourself: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nation-ally owned businesses, signifi-cantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms -- continu-ing to strengthen the economic base of the community .

2. Support community groups: Non-profit organiza-tions receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

3. Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our commu-nity home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Our tourism busi-nesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust

4. Reduce envi-ronmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less trans-portation and general-ly set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to develop-ing on the fringe. This

generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5. Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

6. Get better service: Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers.

7. Invest in community: Lo-cal businesses are owned by people who live in this com-munity, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future.

8. Put your taxes to good use: Local businesses in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of

public services as compared to nationally owned stores enter-ing the community.

9. Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy: A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure in-novation and low prices over the long-term. A multitude of small businesses, each select-ing products based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guaran-tees a much broader range of product choices.

Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an in-creasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to in-vest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

collision had occurred during the pursuit during a phone interview Monday.

He did say in an email to Black Press, “It is believed no one was injured in the arrest, but cannot be confirmed at this time.”

Tyreman said the case is still under investigation and is before courts now so details are not expected to be released.

Although Barcello Road was open to traffic, Lowe Drive was closed and police were positioned at cross roads and guarded a por-tion of the orchard.

Residents were not evacuated but no one could get into the area where the arrest took place.

Many residents in the Cawston area suspected Teneycke was close by when they found Fairview Road between Cawston and Oliver closed last Wednesday afternoon.

Sally Taylor, the orchard owner, was at home a short dis-tance away at the time of the dramatic arrest.

“I didn’t really know anything about it. I was out cutting the grass on the riding lawn mower and I couldn’t hear the helicop-ters. I did know he was in the area so I asked one of the guys just to check the garden shed for me. I was scared he might be in there,” she said while taking a break from cutting the lawn.

Her son had called her from his job at the packing house near-by and told her to get in the house and lock the doors because Teneycke was definitely in the area.

Not long after, she received the

call from Dyck, her son-in-law telling her shots were fired in the orchard and police had arrested someone.

She’s lived in the area for more than 35 years.

“I don’t remember anything like this happening here before. It’s pretty crazy for little old Cawston,” she said.

Earlier in July a warrant was put out for Teneycke’s arrest after he failed to show up for his inter-mittent (weekends only) jail sen-tence. Teneycke pleaded guilty to charges of making or possess-ing explosives and possessing a weapon contrary to a court order. The 52-year-old was sentenced on April 9 to time served since his Jan. 22 arrest, as well as an addi-tional 90 days, a lifetime firearm ban and three years probation.

After his sentence was sus-pended in April due to health related issues, Teneycke pleaded with the court to extend the start date of his sentence to no avail.

Teneycke failed to report for his weekend jail sentence June 26.

On July 16, South Okanagan

(Oliver) RCMP attended to a complaint of an armed robbery in the 6400 block of Park Drive in Oliver.

Officers attended and spoke to the business owner who advised that just shortly after 10 a.m. that day an unknown man entered the store and produced a weapon. It’s believed Teneycke was behind the armed robbery.

Around 11:30 a.m. July 22 Oliver RCMP learned that an individual picked up what they thought was a hitchhiker on Baldy Mountain Forest Service Road. Police said the individual allegedly assaulted the driver with a weapon and stole the own-er’s 1999 white three-quarter ton GMC pick-up with the licence plate 7621 GG with “Okanagan Rustic Furniture” written across the back window.

RCMP issued a warning that same say stating Teneycke was considered armed and extremely dangerous and was in the Oliver area. The South East District Emergency Response team, as well as police from multiple detachments, including Penticton, were seen in Oliver where police had located a vehicle they believed Teneycke to be driving.

Teneycke spent 12 years in federal prison, most of those related to being found guilty of a sexual assault with a weapon on a 17-year-old female. Since his release in 2007, Teneycke has returned to jail several times for breaches of probation and in 2013 was found guilty of possession of methamphetamine.
