• We would like to thank Shirley Eppler from Cannor Nursery for the wonderful recognition of our efforts in our Columbia Beach garden. Shirley dropped a gift card at our door, addressed to the gardeners. It is very gratifying to know others appreciate our display, the product of our passion for gardening.
Kathy Claxton and Frankie Michaluk, French Creek
• Our warmest appreciation to Bill Hunter of Hunter Doors for excellent service. Thanks also to Duane for doing a particularly thorough and careful job — I watched him work. Thanks also to our neighbour Tom, who helped us suggesting them. Now our garage doors have their ups and downs back.
Judy Gary, Nanoose Bay
