Torii gate built

Lawrence is fixing up a house and yard in the townsite. As part of his work, he built a torii gate. This is his explanation why.

"You might be wondering why I choose to make a rather "large" statement in erecting a torii gate. Japanese wood working techniques are of the finest in the world. Their choice of wood, Yellow cedar, is highly regarded as the best .We have lots of it. All the pieces of wood used in this project were salvaged from cut blocks. My goal was to make Japanese people feel welcome in our small town. The west coast of BC has a long shared history with Canadian-Japanese citizens. My small contribution to the interment prisoners. I hope their ancestors will feel welcome."

He would like to see a twinning with a Japanese sister city and a student exchange program. Both good ideas.

Good Food box too good to miss

Today we received yet another good food box of vegetables. Eight different vegetables. I calculated the $25 cost was less than the equivalent from Thrifty's and it was delivered. If you want to get one in April, contact rickimoore5@gmail.com to order. It's worth it.

The story of the cougar attack

Terry F. and his dog Percy, a female 6-month-old Belgium malinois were walking on the Leiner River trail to the estuary last Monday. "I was walking and when I turned around and looked at her, her head was in a cougar's mouth." The cougar was fifteen feet up a tree when Terry picked up an old piece of log and started hitting the cougar. The puppy fell out of the cougar's mouth and down the river bank. Terry rushed back to town and Brian came back with him with bear spray and a Bowie knife and by that time the puppy was in the water. They rescued her, brought her home, gave her a bath. The conservation officer came and told Terry he had to go to the vet because these bites are usually fatal because of all the infection. Derrick Kasper agreed to take the dog to his vet. The dog underwent surgery and is now back home in Tahsis. Terry was very worried how he would pay but the vet said a group of Tahsis people had got together and already paid the bill. Terry has no idea who they are.

Quilting class

The Tahsis Literacy Society cosponsored a quilting class taught by Anne Hall.  Sixteen people participated, most of them locals. The pattern was incredibly hard and even though all used the same pattern, the results came out quite differently.
