WARNING: Rogers Cellphone Outage Refund Scam

If you receive a cellphone text message claiming to be from
Rogers Wireless saying that they are offering you a "gift" in compensation
for their recent Canada-wide wireless outage, and asking you to register,
DON'T REPLY.  The message is not from Rogers (the sender phone number or
address is forged) -- it's a scam to try to get you to go to the crooks'
website, which will then try to get your online banking information.

Rogers' web site (https://about.rogers.com/stories/phishing-and-spam/)
says to forward any suspicious cellphone text messages to 7726 (SPAM).

Be safe, -- Jonathan Thornburg

New Home for Painted Rocks

While the leave-no-trace policy on nature reserves has necessitated the removal of painted rocks from the trail through Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve, the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy has contacted the Thetis Island Parents Association and the Thetis Island Community Association and have agreement to place the painted rocks in the wooded area between the school and the community hall. 

This little forest near the slide and swings is often used as a play area so the colourful rocks will be appreciated.

Did you know, you can make Hollandaise Sauce with 5 basic ingredients that you probably already have?

4 Egg Yolks
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon juice (or Vinegar)
½ cup Butter
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Cayenne

Vigorously whisk the egg yolk and lemon, place mixture over a double boiler, only to warm (we don’t want to scramble those yolks!) drizzle in melted butter and continue to whisk until incorporated, add the seasoning at the end and Voila! Your very own home-made Hollandaise Sauce!

Happy Cooking!
