Moths aplenty!

The moths that are battering your windows these nights are those of the Tent Caterpillar (Malacosoma Californicum pluviale)

This insect has had a great year feasting on trees all through the Pacific Northwest. Now when you gently carry these moths to the outdoors, you might think about an alternative strategy!

Aikido for Adults?

A few people have come to me and asked if I am interested in teaching adult Aikido classes on Thetis. I would, if there is enough interest. Interested people can contact me by e-mail islandsedge@yahoo.com

Aikido is a Japanese martial art, founded by Master Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). It is a martial art which trains one in self-discipline, coordination, and concentration. The techniques are based on the principle of non-resistance and harmony, and teach the practitioner to develop the natural power (Ki) inherent in the body.  In addition to the development of martial skill, the aim of Aikido is “to unify the mind and body and to promote peace, harmony, and cooperation among all beings”.

Happy Retirement to Tom & Gloria...

On Sunday, July 9th, a small gathering was held to honour community members, Tom & Gloria, upon their retirement. After moving to Thetis in 1991 and establishing their home & business, they are about to embark on the next chapter of their lives.  Building a new home, closing Quack Farm Nursery & White Peony Tea & Gift Shop, they are ready for new adventures and relaxation.  

Hats off to a wonderful couple!
