Violent fugitive caught in Cawston orchard Tara Bowie Review Staff
A two-day manhunt that tore through the South Okanagan came to a dramatic conclusion in a Cawston orchard. At 10:40 a.m. Thursday, July 23 police apprehended Ronald Arthur Teneycke at Taylor Farms on Barcello Road.
Ronald Arthur Teneycke
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 violent attack. The officer approached and identified Teneycke alone in the vehicle. Teneycke attempted to flee heading toward Fairview-Cawston Road. Orchardist Bryan Dyck 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 most 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 pushing it into the orchard he believes Teneycke was in and the suspect attempted to flee. 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.” RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman was not able to confirm or deny that shots had been fired from a real or imitation gun or if a 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 so details are not expected to be released. Residents in the area were not evacuated while police apprehended Teneycke, but no one could get into the area where the arrest took place. Although Barcello Road was open to traffic, Lowe Drive was closed and police were positioned at cross roads and guarded a portion of the orchard. 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 distance 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 helicopters. I did know he was in the area so I asked one of the guys just to check the

definitely in the area. It wasn’t 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 interContinued on page 12

Don’t be a drain on the water supply Tara Bowie Review Staff
Tara Bowie
To build awareness for the need for water consumption reduction local leaders jumped in the Keremeos Fire Department shower Monday. No effort to save water is too small said the group of Jim Murphy, deputy fire chief, Forrest Nelson, Fairview Irrigation District, Doug Boult, past-president Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Association, Brian Barber, Keremeos Irrigation District and Kathaleen Gibbs, vice-president Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Association.
Reduce water consumption anyway you can is the message several community leaders hope to shower on the public. after it was announced the area is now considered to be in a level four drought condition. Members of the Keremeos-Cawston Sportsmen Association along with staff at several irrigation district’s and the deputy chief of the Keremeos Fire department hopped in a shower - fully clothed but with rubber ducky in hand - at the fire department Monday. The group wanted to emphasize their point that any amount of water saved is better than none and there is always room for fun - even when talking about water conservation. “It’s something we don’t always think of here. Here we don’t even seem to think we have water problems. We have a reservoir but as we’ve heard, and what we know, at the Sportsmen’s Association is that if we can save water here it’s going to have a positive impact on ecosystems downstream,” Kathaleen Gibbs, vice president of the K-CSA said. Gibbs along with Doug Boult, past president of the K-CSA thought it was important to remind the public of their role in conservation after recent fish kills caused by climbing water temperatures were spurred on by low water levels. The fish kills prompted the ministry to stop angling along all rivers and streams in the area to help fish survive. “I’ve been saying for quite awhile the water is too low to fish. It puts the fish under too much stress and they can’t survive,” Gibbs said. Forrest Nelson from Fairview Irrigation said all residents have a responsibility to help conserve water. He said one of the largest impacts residents can make is to report broken irrigation lines. “That’s a big one here. I mean, irrigation can pump out a lot of water quickly. If something’s broken and we don’t know there’s going to be a lot of wasted water,” he said.
Joining in the shower for a jovial photo-op Monday was Gibbs, Boult, Nelson, Jim Murphy, deputy chief of Keremeos Fire Department, and Brian Barber of the Keremeos Irrigation District. Drought ratings for the South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit areas were updated to Level 3 on July 10. 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. 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 consumption 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 at its own parks and recreation facilities. Residential outdoor watering accounts for the second highest use of all water in the area at 24%. “Considering most of the residential water used outdoors is used on lawns – which are mostly for cosmetic use – this is where residents can make a difference and Make Water Work,” an email from the Okanagan Basin Water Board said. Some tips: •Water plants. Not pavement. •Put water on the nightshift. Water between dusk and dawn. •Don’t mow. Let it grow. Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall. •Leave grass clippings as mulch. •Top dress with compost; and •Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants. Residents can find more information, as well as local water restrictions for their community by visiting the Make Water Work website at http://www. makewaterwork.ca/tips.

Dayman also told the Review he planned to In the blink of an eye four members of his family including his wife were killed in a car accident and several others were injured while he worked more than 4,000 kilometres away. About two weeks ago Francisco Aguilar Jaimez received the devastating call that his wife, mother-in-law and two of his sister’s in law, had been killed and his two daughters were in hospital in Mexico. A few days after the accident he was able to get a flight back to Mexico to be with his family. In addition to his indescribable grief, Jaimez is facing additional financial hardship as medical costs are not covered in Mexico. The govern-
ment is also charging him for damage caused to the road during the accident. Jaimez is one of the first migrant workers to work in the Similkameen. He has worked on a variety of farms over the last 10 years. He is expected to return to work before the end of August. The El Faro Society for Migrant Workers is holding a bake sale fundraiser for Jaimez and his family to help with the unexpected expenses. The bake sale is being held July 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations can also be made by deposit directly to Jaimez’s account at the Valley First Credit Union Keremeos account #621672.
Ongoing disputes between Schorb and Shane Dayman, who took over the business July 1 became very public over the last few weeks as RCMP officers were seen in the parking lot several times. As told to the Review by Schorb and Dayman the agreement was that Schorb and partner Suzanne Siemens were to stay employed at the restaurant.

Manhunt highlights system failure 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 contrary 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 conditions 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.
How to spend $3 billion 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 passenger 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. Integrity, on the other hand, is priceless. - AD

Couple uses vacations to give help and hope to others Art Martens livingsignificantly.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 “vacations” 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 members of the board are highly motivated and deeply involved in various 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 established the Friends of Mennonite Centre.” The organization is funded almost entirely by donations from individuals around the globe, although most come from Canadians. It contributes financial aid and advice to Ukrainians who want to improve their nation. “We’re a small organization,” Art said. “We don’t have many people 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 governments, hospitals, orphanages and schools. “We offer help and hope in tangible ways. We assist people in dire circumstances, regardless of religion, gender or ethnic background. 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 supplies 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 established a tele-medical service.” The Friends of Mennonite Centre has replaced the floor of a school gym. On an ongoing basis Cardiologists Marlyce and Art Friesen they assist destitute farmers, also asking if we can provide kitchen Now in semi-retirement, the mothers and families. A school equipment.

Great concert memories tell the stories of our lives 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 marriage, terrorism and man-made disasters are solely the responsibility of the reader.) I saw my first concert at 13. In an unprecedented and neverto-be-repeated act of cool parenting my father drove a carload 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 tickets 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 stillsexy Beatle performed magnificently for hours and our seats for the sold-out event were fabulous. I floated through the days following that show, humming Band

Shopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, creating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips to the mall that can waste expensive fuel, especially if consumers don’t find what they’re looking for. Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller businesses are not always as capable of bearing the brunt of a recession as larger ones. The following are a handful of unique ways men and women can shop locally. * Forgo a traditional vacation. If you’re used to taking an annual trip to a Caribbean island or another faraway locale, forgo that trip this year and take a more local vacation instead. A local vacation can be similar to a staycation, when you simply stay home, but spend some nights out on the town in your local community. Go out to eat, take in a concert or theatre performance at a nearby theatre or take the kids out for miniature golf. For those who feel the need to get away from home, consider a local bed and breakfast or another relaxing locale that’s close to home. You will still get the feel of a traditional vacation, but you won’t spend as much and you’ll be doing your part to help the local economy. * Hit the links. A round of golf is another great way to stimulate your local economy. Municipally owned golf courses are owned by the municipality, which means each dollar you spend is money that’s going back into your community. And much like other local businesses, the golf course is no doubt employing your friends and neighbors, giving even more money back to your community. * Buy a preowned vehicle. Buying a preowned vehicle as opposed to a brand new car bought from a manufacturer is another way to shop locally. This is especially true if you buy your preowned vehicle from a private citizen. But buying from a local dealership can stimulate your local economy as well, as your community will benefit from the taxes on the vehicle and that dealership will continue to provide jobs for fellow members of your community. * Treat yourself to a spa treatment. Another unique and indulgent way to support your local economy is to treat yourself to a spa treatment. The cost of a spa trip depends on what you prefer, but even a relatively inexpensive trip to the spa will support a local business. Plus, you’ll reap the rewards of that support immediately. • HISTORICAL SITE • TEA ROOM • SPECIAL EVENTS AND SO MUCH MORE...

There will be dancing in the streets
The Keremeos Elks are calling you out to the streets this Saturday night – to dance. The volunteer group is holding its first street dance to coincide with Kars Under the K. The family dance will take place in front of the Elks Lodge and the Legion on Veterans Avenue in Keremeos starting at 7 p.m. “We wanted somewhere for people to go. For the teenagers with their girlfriends or their boyfriends and young couples so that they could come out and dance,” Mac Watson, an Elks member said. “We wanted it to coincide with Kars Under the K to give something for the town to do so something more was happening.” The band Flashback which plays hits from the 50s to today will take the stage at about 8 p.m. Hamburgers and smokies will be grilled up throughout the evening. The Legion is running the beer gardens as a fundraiser. “Both the Elks and the Legion help out with a lot of youth focussed things like the bursaries. We really are here working for the next generation and we’d like to see that generation come out and enjoy some of the things we do,” he said. Tickets for the dance are $10 per person or $15 a couple
Residents in Hedley also plan to hold a street dance this weekend. This Friday marks the third year that Lazy Mike and the Rockin’ Recliners will bring their brand of Harp Driven Rockin’ Blues originals and covers to Hedley for an all ages Hedley summer street dance. Lazy Mike and the Rockin’ Recliners have been rockin’ Vancouver Island since 2007 with appearances at many Blues Festivals including the Vancouver Island Blues Bash in Victoria and Summertime Blues in Nanaimo, plus the Powell River Blues Festival and at The Sky High Blues Festival in Rock Creek B.C. and The Nanaimo Marine Festival and Blues in the Park in Nanaimo to name a few. Band members are ‘Lazy’ Mike Mallon on vocals and harmonica, Carson Mallon on guitar/vocals, Brian Whitty, bass and vocals, and Evan Matthiesen on drums and vocals.

pharmacy technician said. The walks generally take between 45 minutes to an hour but are done in loops so people who aren’t strong enough don’t have to complete the entire route. People with walking aids are welcome. The cost is $3 per drop-in visit or $20 for eight. The fee is

mittent (weekends only) jail sentence. Teneycke pleaded guilty to charges of making or possessing 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 additional 90 days, a lifetime firearm ban and three years probation. After his sentence was suspended 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 owner’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. The search for Teneycke came to a dramatic conclusion in an apple orchard in Cawston on July 23 at about 10:30 a.m. 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. - With files from Dale Boyd/Penticton Western News

JAYESH PATEL MUMPS IS PREVENTABLE

FEED YOUR BODY WELL
We are in the time for fresh produce and fruit in the Okanagan. Many of us enjoy spending time at our local Farmers Markets, roadside Vegetable and Fruit Stands, or tending a garden of our own. Some schools have been engaging children in growing fresh food too. For example Kelowna Waldorf School has been nurturing gardens with their students for many years. If your child or grandchild doesn’t yet have this program, why not bring it up to the Parent Council or Principal? And I am having fun this year with patio gardening. Knowing I can bring my vertical garden inside in the winter months plays a huge role in my excitement and decision to purchase a Tower Garden. I can’t wait to harvest my own fresh lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and whatever else I choose to plant even with snow on the ground! Feed your Body Well Pay attention to how you fuel your body – the foods you eat, the thoughts you allow, the choices you make. Your body will speak to you – sometimes it whispers, sometimes it shouts. Perhaps what you crave is the simple goodness of food – real food, whole food, ripened to the peak of freshness, and then picked. Do yourself a favour - Load your body with Antioxidants, Vitamins, Phytonutrients, Micronutrients, let alone FLAVOUR ! Simply build a garden salad. Be creative with colours and flavours. Experiment with fresh fruit toppings, if you wish. I am hosting a Salad Building gathering in my yard, and invite you to do it, too. It’s a pot-luck, so I will pick fresh lettuce from my garden, and ask others to bring one in-season salad ingredient. Once all contributions are set out to make a beautiful, fresh Salad Bar, everyone will build their own crisp, tasty meal. We won’t organize who will bring what item, and it always seems turns out that there is very little overlap, and really great toppings that fit well together. It’s a fun and healthy way for people to get to know each other. Or, you could start a recipe-exchange. In your neighbourhood, at work, or within your circle of friends, why not share the terrific goodness of home prepared foods – especially when so much is abundantly available and freshly grown. Feed your Body Well Eating a variety of fresh, ripe vegetables and fruits has helped me and many others in countless ways. I have more energy during the day (there’s a scary thought – me with MORE energy), my hair and skin glow, my seasonal allergy symptoms have reduced immensely, I could go on and on….

Mumps is a preventable viral disease. There were fewer than 400 cases of mumps in all of Canada in the early 1990s but between 2007 and early 2008, there were over 1200 cases reported...mostly in Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The group most affected were young people aged 20-29. Mumps vaccine is the best way to prevent getting mumps.
DISCOVERING NEW ANTIBIOTICS
Discovering new antibiotics is an ongoing job. There is a push on in Europe and the U.S. to develop ten new antibiotics by the year 2020 to combat certain bacteria that are becoming increasingly resistant to the antibiotics currently in use. Antibiotic resistance is encouraged when patients don’t finish all the medication prescribed for an infection. When you receive an antibiotic, finish it completely.
PREGNANCY AND MEDICATIONS
Pregnant ladies ofen have questions about what medications they can take for minor health problems like headache and heartburn. Playing it safe is the best advice. For headaches and minor aches and pain, acetaminophen is a best choice. For heartburn, simple antacids are good. Taking the ones with calcium carbonate in them will help keep calcium levels up for the baby.
REMINDER ABOUT SUNSCREENS
Just a reminder about sunscreens. The SPF rating refers to blocking of UVB rays only. Be sure to look for sunscreen preparations that have an extra ingredient that blocks UVA rays, too. Look for names like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzone. Remember to reapply your sunscreen after swimming or profusely sweating. Whether it be a choice of sunscreen or a pain or heartburn medication, we are here for you. WE hope to see you in our pharmacy soon!
