Park the Park  

Event Information:

It’s been almost 10 years since the idea of a skate-park was raised in Chemainus.
The rally is meant to get the park back in the conversation.  A family event showcasing the skate/bmx culture.

Riders of all abilities are encouraged to bring their “ride” bmx, skateboard or inline skates to Water wheel Park for a Rally to support the idea of finalizing the skate-park debate.

Friday 4-9 pm

The event is as follows.
Mini park set up with rails, ramps and half pipe ( North Cowichan supplied)

Skate/bmx films, music, skate demo’s concession stand, and sponsor give away prizes.

For 15 years I have called Thetis home, now that I'm off to Nanaimo to study theater, I will never forget Thetis Island.

Rosemary's Memorial

Many folks turned out today to pay their last respects to Rosemary Ann Boehringer.  All the stories spoke of an amazing, caring mother & friend with a fierce thirst for knowledge.  Thank you to Gloria and her team for putting on a beautiful afternoon showing their love for a wonderful woman.

And for all you that are wondering, here's a sample of a  "start ya bastard" video.

Silvery Tree Frog

Bill spotted this pretty little frog on our walkway this morning.  Just over 3 centimeters long, with fabulous camoflauge ~ however he almost got stepped on!

from Jane Toohey, Rosemary's niece...

Rosemary was my aunt (and my Godmother). She was my father's baby sister. My parents, Don and Joan Herbert (we all live in Australia) who still live at Eugowra in New South Wales, where Rosemary was born and grew up, visited Thetis a couple of times. They loved the beauty of it. I hoped to visit Rosemary, but tragically it is too late. Rosemary was a lovely and quite remarkable lady and I am so very sad at her death. My love and very best wishes to all her friends. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Looking for Laptops...

I am looking for 2 free, or nearly free, laptop computers to take to Mengo Hospital in Kampala, Uganda next week.  A group of volunteers from Victoria built an AIDS wing onto the hospital and are supporting the  project in a variety of ways.  They need laptop computers.            

If you have one that you are happy to pass on, I can pick it up this weekend.

Please email Colleen Kasting at ckasting@telus.net
