Howdy, Thetis Islanders

I'm wondering if anyone is traveling to Victoria and back this week with possible cartage room to haul a bicycle back to Thetis for me?

As always, "Full of Wonder"

Fairy Creek

I am planning another trip to the Fairy Creek old growth forest protest camp on Friday Jan 14.

I have a full load of firewood (thanks Bud and Glenda) but still have some room in the cab of the truck for small items. Rain gear, warm clothes and home cooking are always appreciated I'll be catching the 8:55 Fri am or phone 246-2184 for pick up.

Thank you for your support

Booster Clinic a Success

The covid booster shot clinic on Tuesday was a success, with just shy of 200 persons attending.  We had nine Island Health staff and nine TIVFD & TIVFD Auxiliary persons on site, and because it was a Booster Shot Clinic the Province loosened the “social distancing” regulations, which allowed for a better flow and a smoother running clinic.  

The Goodings loaned two HEPA Filter air exchange systems to continuously clean the air during the event.  Pot of Gold donated the coffee, and the Thetis Island Community Fund supported the juice and snacks for the post-shot waiting period.  A special thank-you to Dr. Michelle Sutter for sitting at the intake table to greet people upon entry, and to be on stand-by with our designated clinic First Responder in case of a medical emergency.  

Thanks as well to all who attended this Whole Community event, despite the chaos of the Provincial sign-up system.

Thanks

Now that the snow is melting, and the rains have returned, it seems to be an opportune time to thank Joe Lang and Joe Knowles of Emcon for the many hours they put in plowing and sanding our roads.

While some towns may still have snow on their side streets, our main and side roads were cleared numerous times during each snow event. They also dealt with very early mornings, downed trees, and stuck residents. We are very fortunate to have a dedicated crew here on Thetis.

Thanks, guys, for taking such good care of us all.

ATV on Private Land

If you have been driving an ATV through the logging roads on Mt. Burchell, please refrain as all trails are on private property. Chains and gates are there for a reason. If you know who this is, kindly let me know.

Knitting Bee

Due to the latest COVID variant I have decided to err on the side of caution and cancel the Knitting Bee. 

Hopefully we will be able to start up again in February.  I look forward to getting together again then.

Adult GSD FOR Re-Homing

Our son has rescued a 2½ yr-old, spayed purebred German Shepherd dog (LUNA) from a family home as the owners did not know how to deal with her drive (never had a shepherd before). She has high energy and good drive, likes to track and hunt for a ball. LUNA is friendly with people but there is no known history around children. She has a little bit of food guarding that could be eliminated.  Due to her high prey drive, caution would be around cats and other animals perceived as prey. She has been an inside dog. She was used with his trainers (learning tracking, detection, and obedience) and had potential as a police service dog but is too old now for placement in that field. LUNA is obedient but has not had extended or in-depth training.  She will need a firm handler. I would have to fly her in from Sask. or Alta.  I have pictures if interested. Will be coming from (but NOT trained at https://arsenalk9.com/). Price would only be the cost of getting her here, guesstimate $400 - 500 (depending on cost of transport/flight). You can contact me direct or through his website if interested or know of someone that may be.
