Stolen Battery

To the person(s) who lifted the battery from my white ‘95 GMC while parked at the ferry terminal, I’d have to say I’m disappointed (not to mention inconvenienced).

However, if you need the $10 you will get for scrap value, I’d gladly buy it back for $20 which I will leave in the battery compartment and you can return the battery and take the twenty!

Thanks,

Ken Hunter

Honey Jars and Transport Wanted

If anyone has any 1/2 pint or 8-ounce glass jars with lids in your recycling bin I would grateful to take them. They do not have to be canning jars. If so, can you leave them at the post office drop box, and I can pick them up? 

I am also looking for a ride to Nanaimo Ferry for one of our employees on Saturday morning either 9:10 or 11:05 ferry from Thetis.

Thanks for your help.
