Styrofoam Chips Needed

I'm looking for styrofoam chips to use for filling a large planter to reduce the amount of soil needed.

If you have any from a recent package delivery I'll gladly take it off your hands,

thanks

Missing Gym Bag

Good morning.

On Friday afternoon, my family and I were leaving Thetis after a great vacation.

We caught the 1:10 pm ferry. After we got back home to Victoria we realized that my gym bag was missing and, as we had opened he van for the kids to get out both in the ferry line up and on the ferry, I was thinking that perhaps we had placed it on the ground beside the van and then had left it behind as we drove off.

I know this is a bit of a long shot; however, as I had some special personal family things in my gym bag, I thought I'd send you this email.

It is a distinctive red, white and blue canvas gym bag with my name in large letters, D POLLOCK, embroidered on the side.

I would appreciate it so much if you could post this message somewhere or even if you could ask around.

If someone has found it, I'll give them a reward of $100.

My name is Don Pollock and I can be reached at 250-360-7498 as well as: don.pollock@smus.ca 

Thanks so much. I hope it was found by someone.

Summer Reminder ~ Noise Carries

Summer’s the time for enjoying outside with windows and doors open to bring in the fresh air. Lazy evenings spent on the deck taking in the views, having a meal or just kicking back and resting quietly.

It’s also a time to make sure that your enjoyment of summer evenings doesn’t impact negatively on someone else’s. Remember that noise carries and can be amplified by natural features and across water. Please keep your volume down at all times and show consideration for others while you’re enjoying your summer evenings.
