Weather Alert for Eastern Vancouver Island

An arctic front will be approaching Monday evening and by Tuesday east Vancouver Island (and us) may be receiving sub freezing temperatures for a few days.  Residents with exposed plumbing might want to cover those pipes up before Monday night.
The fire dept. urges you to be fire safe during these cold snaps...check that your chimney flue is clear of creosote, don't have electric heaters overloading extension cords, and keep curtains, beds and furniture away from baseboard and portable heaters.

Found: Car Key on Pilkey Point Rd / Tire Inflated

I found a car key on Pilkey Point Road this afternoon (Fri Nov 20th), just north of the hairpin turn at the base of the north side of Moore Hill. The owner may be walking the road looking for it, so I put the key at the base of the "curves ahead" road sign that's on the west side of Pilkey Point Road between the driveway to lot 409 and the driveway to lots 178-181 (shown as lot 178 on the map in the Thetis Island Directory).

Also: Our tire is now re-inflated.  A big thank you to our many Thetis neighbours who contacted us!

Thanks again, -- Jonathan Thornburg & Virginia Vitzthum

Air Compressor Needed ~

One of the tires on our car has a slow leak, and is now almost flat.

Does anyone on the island have a portable air compressor (either plug-in

or battery-operated) which we could borrow to re-inflate the tire?

Thank you very much!
