Missing Library Book

The third book in the Dan Kalla series, Nightfall over Shanghai, has been missing for weeks and was not signed out by whoever has it at the moment. In case you have forgotten to return it, could you please do so soon as possible? There are many people waiting to read it.

Thank you.

Free for Pick Up: 1950's Belmont Enterprise Cook Stove

We have a nice looking +/- 1950's Belmont Enterprise cook stove to give away. It was converted from wood-burning to oil burning over its life time, and was used until about 8 years ago. Since then it has been in storage in our basement in Saltair.

If you would like pictures, please email: ruthgoodbody@yahoo.ca

Islands Trust ~ News Release

Wanted: Hummingbird Feeders

Is there anyone here on the island who has hummingbird feeders that they aren't using (specifically, the tall, almost-a-litre bottles with the 6 "flowers")? 

The hummer population seems to have exploded at our feeding stations and we are obviously going to need to increase the number of feeders or we'll never get any peace.  I can get new ones if necessary but it occurred to me that our population may have suddenly grown because someone who used to feed them isn't doing it any more?  So you have feeders packed away somewhere??? 

If so, please give me a call -

Veronica at 250 246 1509.  Thanks!
