New in this update:Tuesday afternoon COVID-19 updateThere has been one death and two new cases of COVID-19 in the Island Health region. The new cases are among 267 confirmed in BC since Friday. The death is among three that occurred over that time. Two deaths were residents of long term care homes on the lower mainland. BC's Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry says Island Health officials did not know the man who died on Vancouver Island was suffering from COVID-19."This was a man in his sixties, who did have underlying health conditions and unfortunately died in the community at home and was identified as being positive for COVID after his death. So very disturbing and tragic for his family and our condolences go out to his family and his community."—Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.The unidentified man's death is the first in the Island Health region since May the 6th. 233 people have died from COVID-19 in BC, including six in Island Health.Most sleep rough due to a lack of temporary sheltersNanaimo has one of the country's highest per-capita homeless rates, and it leads the nation in the number of homeless people sleeping on the streets. Those conclusions are in a homeless count conducted in the city last March. Last night, the team that led the study presented details to city council. It said the current homeless population of 430 people is two and a half times higher than it was at the last count in 2018. More than 70 per cent are from Nanaimo. And most of them, sixty-two percent, are sleeping rough due to a lack of temporary shelters. The Executive Director of the local United Way says most people think the homeless in Nanaimo are the people they see downtown, causing trouble. Signy Madden says that group makes up less than 10 per cent of those without a place to call home. She says the vast majority are simply poor."They're Nanaimo people who just can't afford housing because of the increasing cost of housing. You've lost your housing because you're 69, you're on a fixed income and your apartment's been put up for sale. And brain injury. 23 per cent of folks have brain injuries, often from workplaces. They've been working for three to five years in the forest industry or some other industry and now they are unable to work and can't find a living."—Signy Madden, Executive Director of United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island.Madden says delivering services to those without shelter has been tough on service providers, who she says are burning out. Madden warns homelessness will likely increase over the next six months to a year, as government COVID-response programs wind down.

sent $$$ this week to The Pink Elephant Project building tiny homes at the 37th and MLK village in oakland.thepinkelephantprojects.com“The Pink Elephant Projects (T.P.E.P.) is an organization that offers unparalleled workmanship on every eco-friendly tiny home which we offer free of cost to our out-priced neighbors in the tent villages throughout Oakland, California. Our first project is at the 37th and MLK Village. Upon reading a quote from an Oakland City Council Member that read "We want to provide tents that last for 5 years…”, we were appalled at the thought that this was the long term plan. According to the, ‘EveryOne Counts! 2019 Homeless Count and Survey’, there are over 8000 people calling the streets of Oakland their home. This is unacceptable on any level considering that the fall and winter seasons can be brutal for tents. After reading the deluge of articles surrounding The Village, T.P.E.P. decided to take advantage of an outlet to help. T. P. E. P. approached The Village and its advocate, Stefanie, about building adequate shelters to replace the tents, and a mutual relationship was built.“DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun(intro by omar)JODY "June” JuneSHEER MAG “Expect The Bayonet” Need to Feel Your LoveSurfer Rosie “Chugger” EP 186 GEMINI “PARADISE” S/T C/SCrystal Eyes “Already Gone” The Female ImaginationJoy Cleaner “Impossibility For Me” Total Hell4th Curtis “Nobody’s Listening” I Won The PageantMermaidens “Lizard” Perfect BodyBLU SHORTS “Cavity” Blu Wave Musicfirst pet “your house in the center of town” some people are just badShelf Life “Faith in the Weak” YARNCrumb “Recently Played” Locketsupermoon “Secrets in a Small Town” PlaylandMerce Lemon “Do You See This It Is Rough” Ideal for a Light Flow with Your Body100 Watt Horse “Mac 'N Cheese” Live at Heavy Meadowcrumbs “Trapped In A Haircut” Mind Yr MannersCult Fiction “Tired” PissedBless “Chameleon” 7"Pile “hissing for peace” A Hairshirt of PurposeMini Dresses “Center of a Room” Collected Singles and EPsSweet Lil “Smoked Out” Smoked Out
