Today is your day Boomer! There is gold in your car! Yes, Boomers, it is called "gas" and ever since the price hit 2 dollars per litre last week, it is the new target of thieves. Dumb idiot thieves are stealing gas from vehicles late at night, but also wrecking cars! How? Their method is not to siphon petrol through a hose, but they actually go under your car and drill holes in your gas tank and let the liquid flow out into containers. It ruins your tank, is very dangerous, makes your vehicle undriveable, and costs hundreds of dollars for repairs! What can you do? "Parking in a secured, well-lit area, such as a garage or fenced enclosure can be helpful for theft prevention,” said Cpl. Dana Napier of the Kamloops RCMP’s community policing unit. “If you must park on the street, avoid dark and isolated areas. The more visible your vehicle, the better.” Also, I will add this: have less gas in your tank for the taking, get a locking gas cap, and park your vehicles as close to your house as possible with outside lights left on. Or, Boomers, how about a GUARD DOG?????!!!!!! What will these thieves think of next? Cheers.
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
