Teddy Suiker

My mother Teddy Suiker (Doctor Suiker, or Mrs Gooding) has suddenly taken ill and has moved to a care facility on Vancouver Island to be close to doctor and hospital while she takes medical treatment.  

I know she has many friends on Thetis Island that would like to visit her, but she is too ill to take visitors right now.  Please be patient and I will keep you updated as much as possible on eSpokes.  

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  Thanks.

A Who's Who of Thetis Pets

We have started a listing of Dogs & Cats along with their owner's names, contact info, pictures of the pets.This listing will give all of us a "go to" page if a pet is found or, lost, we can refer people to this page for full information.  This has been done in other communities with success.  Any pets listed can be removed at anytime. Click here to go to the page to see what's needed to get your pet included in the Who's Who of Thetis Pets.

 

Pneumonia Shot

The Annual Flu Shot Clinic on Thetis Island is taking place on November 5th from 9:30 to 10:30 at Forbes Hall. Also available this year will be the pneumococcal inoculation which is given only once.  
"The pneumococcus is a germ (a bacteria, not a virus) that can cause bacterial pneumonia and other infections such as in the bloodstream (bacteremia) and lining of the brain (meningitis). It is especially good at causing pneumonia as a complication of influenza infection. So you can understand why it is so important to be vaccinated to get protection against both influenza and the pneumococcus.

Both vaccines are very safe. - Click here to view more.

Earthquake Drill ~ Are You Ready?

This Thursday, October 16th, at 10:16 in the morning, is the Great B.C. Shake Out earthquake drill. Local radio stations will pause to remind listeners about the drill and perhaps broadcast the rumbling sounds of a major quake for realism. This will be your cue to practice what you will do when the real quake happens. Please go to Shakeoutbc.ca for resources and tips on how to prepare.  And at 10:16 Thursday morning, practice what you would do during and immediately after a major quake.  Being prepared WILL make a difference.

Yard Waste Burning

We are finally getting some decent rain, but because the water recharge to the island ponds is slow and we had record low water storage levels in September and early October, yard waste/incinerator/burn piles are still prohibited.  Campfires with a permit are allowed at this time.  All prohibitions for yard waste, incinerators, hand piled burn piles meeting provincial regulations for size will be lifted on November 1st and permits will not be required until next April 1st. Machine piled burn piles require a permit year-round.  Thank you for your patience.

Update on Gwen Hunter

Gwen and I have appreciated your loving support over the past few weeks.  Thanks for all the cards, flowers, visits and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.  She is enjoying your visits in the hospital but if they are too long it wears her out and she has no time to rest in-between so please keep the visits to 5 - 10 minutes only.  She has good days and bad days but is starting to eat a little again so we are guardedly optimistic.  If you’d like to send a card or note or some pictures of by-gone memories (Sportsnik) please leave them in the drop box or the egg box at the top of our driveway and I’ll be happy to take them in to Gwen.

Thank you kindly,

Don Hunter
