As well, there are the long sleeve black t-shirts complete with Maynard Johnny’s artwork.

Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7:31AM Athenia and I are interested in joining the sail past around Thetis on Saturday. Does anyone have a bit of extra room for two friendly companions... We have done a fair amount of boating and are very comfortable on the water. Sparkles will be staying home...
Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7:30AM Free queen size EQ3 bed frame. 10 years old in used-good condition, sturdy and well built. We don’t have a picture of it assembled (they no longer make this model) but if you google “EQ3 Boom bed” it’s similar to that with solid front and back.
Colour is dark brown/black, material is wood laminate. There is no headboard or under storage on our model.
Currently disassembled with all the necessary parts ready to put back together. Can deliver on Thetis.
Please email aimee.vand@gmail.com if you are interested.
Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7:29AM Looking for a 30-inch exterior door for a shed framed.
If you have one, please call Ray Smith 250 246 0068
Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 7:48AM To those who have their pets listed:
There are photos missing and incompatible photos presented, obviously a glitch in the system.
Please check your entry, if an incorrect photo is shown, or no photo is shown, send in a replacement photo. It will be applied to your posting.
Thanks

Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 7:46AM Hello all, I forgot to add that in regard to Nature House programming that takes place at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road, please do not bring dogs (big or small) onto the property as sheep share the space.
Thanks in advance!
Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 7:39AM Mosquitoes
We have discovered an effective protection against mosquitoes. It's a device called 'thermacel' available at Canadian Tire. It consists of a small butane heat source that activates a mat that's impregnated with insecticide and emits a vapor barrier of 15 feet. Effective indoors or out with no odor. One model is designed for carrying on walks (on a backpack); another for placing on a flat surface. You turn them off when not needed, and they run for 12 hrs. Refills are available. It's a game changer. They sell for about $30.00.
Cheers

Mosquito Challenge
While I am all for "biological warfare" in this matter, I want to caution about potential introductions and making matters worse. Our native tree frogs should be encouraged but they are able to find ponds on their own. We have these delightful beasts in our pond along with dragonflies (also native) which no doubt lessens our problem here at Cedar Beach. However, the last thing we need is to introduce species which would cause collateral damage. The bull frog would be a disaster here on Thetis Island and so far, we have managed to avoid this problem. It is now a major issue on Vancouver Island where it was deposited many years ago.
