Black Press Media鈥檚 Josh Piercey has got the rundown of the top headlines from across the Okanagan this week.
Devastation, sadness and heartbreak are widespread following a fire that destroyed the guest wing of Quaaout Lodge in Skwlax, Secw茅pemc territory, in the Thompson-Nicola region.

鈥淲e鈥檙e really getting close to the go or not go line,鈥� said DeMille, explaining corn typically needs a ground temperature of 15 C to germinate.
Revelstoke City Council has approved the development of a first-of-its-kind apartment building downtown, however, the building has caused concerns for a number of residents.
The apartment complex, to be located at 1219 Victoria Rd., includes underground parking with wiring for charging stations, bicycle storage, a rooftop garden and patio, and landscaping around the perimeter.
Council approved a variance to the zoning bylaw to let the building exceed the maximum allowed height of 10.5m to its proposed 18m height and approved to increase the maximum lot coverage from 50 per cent to 66 per cent. They also approved reducing the minimum of 36 off-street parking spaces to 24 spaces.
