The Great SAUSAGE Face-off!

It's time to cast your votes.

Thetis Island pasture-raised piggies have enjoyed a wonderful season grazing across forest and field, munching down lots of fall fruits and living a happy life, but soon it is harvest time.

We may get to have 4 sausage varieties made this fall, so let's see which ones win by popular vote.

Please tell us your top two choices:

• Bratwurst (classic grilling sausage)
• English Banger (simple savoury)
• Sriracha Blue Cheese (danish blue, garlic and sriracha - zesty!)
• Maple Blueberry (the ultimate breakfast sausage with BC blueberries)
• Apple Bacon (sweet & savoury)
• Chorizo Verde (fresh herbs, spinach and jalapenos)
• Coconut Currywurst (curry blend, coconut, raisins and cilantro. mild & sweet)

The Next Thetis Island Phone Book

I am starting work on the next issue of the Thetis Island Phone Book. 
Please help me by:

- letting me know if your information has changed.  I will be in touch with everyone I can, but if you get to me first, it saves a lot of time.

- If you are new to the island and weren't in the last book, please let me know.  If you have neighbours who may not get espokes, could you let them know about this call?

- Even if you don't want to be in the book for some reason, I'll appreciate having that confirmed. Circumstances change, and I try not to take anything for granted.

- If there is something new or different you would like to see in the book, now is the time to suggest it!

TSOP

The TSOP invites the Thetis Islanders for a presentation titled:  Canadian Oil - Can an Eco-friendly person feel good about supporting the Alberta Oil Sands?  It starts at 5:30 PM, on Thursday, October 21st.  For location please contact Jan at:  jcerny07@gmail.com.

New Ferry Schedule Stickies

Once the new ferry schedule has been confirmed, we can go ahead and print "stickies" of the new schedule for the back of the phone book. 

Even though I'm starting work on the new phone book, it won't be out before the end of the year.  So this is the second call for an idea of how many stickies you will want.  They should be available by the end of the month if not before, provided BC Ferries has no further plans for changes at this time.

Lemon Plant Needing Foster Home for Winter

My lemon plant has enjoyed a nice summer outside but is now starting to get a bit cold and wet. No room at our place.

Looking for somewhere inside and sunny for her to go until next spring.

She lives in about a 14" diameter nice ceramic pot and is only about 3' in diameter and height. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
