Observed individual(s) in small power boat with no running lights and a powerful search lights in the middle of the night scoping out my property from the water.

When I turned my outside light on and went out on the deck they killed their light and took off. I did not get a good look at the individual(s) or the boat.

Be vigilant and keep an eye out for your neighbours who may be seasonal residents.

MODERATE Fire Rating (Finally!)

It has been a tense several weeks re: the Fire Hazard Rating. And with several lightning strikes during that intense storm, we have been lucky to (so far) not have any zombie fires pop up from underground roots.

The Coastal Fire Centre has dropped our area to MODERATE fire hazard. Time restrictions for High Hazard Activities are no longer in effect.

Please keep up the great job of staying fire safe.

Bake Sale Plus labour day weekend crew

Goosey Gander Shop will be Open Saturday and Sunday 10 to 4

Thanks to several hardworking Islanders who did a super job tidying workshops and garages, sorting kitchen cupboards, raiding the don’t fit shoe stash, and weeding out all sorts of duplicate unused crafts, the Shop is filled with literally something for everyone. Could you use some inline skates or a new pair of Boggs rubber boots? How about a Makita metal straight shear or a drywall screwdriver or rain gutter liners? Perhaps a Dietz oil lantern or some superfine heavenly soft mohair or cashmere yarn or a brush marker set that comes in an astonishing 100 colours? There are two really nice golf sets, two whistling tea kettles, a rechargeable hand warmer, new cowboy boots, a gorgeous set of gold foil embossed dishes, and special jewelry including some lovely pieces beautifully crafted by our amazing librarian Celine.

Hope to see you at the Shop:)

Thank you,

Nan Beals

What’s Happening on the Forbes Hall Grounds?

You may have noticed that there has been work in the Hall’s parking area and grounds this week. This is being done in response to community members’ concerns regarding safety in the parking and playground areas as well as continued work upgrading the grounds.

PARKING AREA

New signs have been erected at the entrance to the hall to try and reduce speed. While they do direct drivers to slow down, the board continues to find ways to reduce speed. Designated parking spaces will be created with a combination of painted lines and wooden stops for stall or angle parking. Currently some test markings are in place.

PLAYGROUND AND DRIVEWAY GARDEN  

In response to parents’ concern about children’s safety, a buffer garden of river rock and grasses will be planted between the playground and driveway.  It includes large rocks behind a split-rail fence. Another fence will be installed at the left of the playground to prevent children from extending their play into the adjacent parking.

In the short term, portable markers have been placed to remind drivers to not park along the playground and to provide a temporary buffer zone.

The driveway garden will be replanted with a Paperbark Maple and grasses that will compliment those planned for the playground gardens, providing a more cohesive look to the driveway entrance. Both gardens, which will be low maintenance and drought resistant once established, will be planted this fall.

SPORTS COURT

With conducive weather, Doug Darling was able to work this week. The perimeter of the Sports Court has been bordered with three to four feet of gravel abutting the asphalt. Installation of a border at the north end will be installed to ease mowing, and there will also be reseeding to refit the grassy areas.
