A Sorry State ~ June 15 ~ 7PM ~ Forbes Hall
Friday, June 7, 2013 at 7:45PM Hello all,
My wife Angela, our two boys Tomio and Sam, and I recently moved from Whitehorse, Yukon, and are living on Thetis until September. We're loving your island, thanks in no small part to our great hosts and neighbours on Jollity Farm.
I recently made a documentary, and I'd like to share it with the community. It's my exploration of the three government apologies my parents and stepparents have received, and the nature of apology, responsibility, and reconciliation. There's more info in the attachment and in the link below.
Hope to see you there,
Mitch

Wanted to borrow for the day : Child seat for 2 year old- on June 16
I have company coming from Europe and they have a 2 year old daughter. I am picking them up in Nanaimo and need a child seat which fits their child - she weighs 12 kg. If you have such a seat and would let me borrow it, please give me a call or email me.
Thanks so much.

Drown Caterpillars ~ don't burn
Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 10:28AM For those of you battling the tent caterpillar problem by cutting and then burning the branch ends with the tents, please be assured that by plunging the branch into a bucket of water you will still attain the desired effect. Let them soak in the bucket...they will drown. Don't let the branch touch the sides of the bucket unless submersed, or a few survivalists will crawl out. This method is effective and doesn't contravene the burn-ban. After a few days, empty the bucket in the bush.
