Thanks and kicks in the pants from readers of The News.

• What’s with our local gas stations? Today’s Times Columnist reveals that the price per litre in Victoria is $107.9 while ours remains at $127.9.

Price gouging taken to new level.

• Thank you to all the Qualicum Beach businesses who donated items for the Moonlight Madness Secret Shopper basket. It was like Christmas had come early. All items will be enjoyed and appreciated by our family. Merry Christmas to all.

• Huge thanks to Jim Marsh who helped save the life of our Australian shepherd who had escaped from the dog walker. Our dog was found wandering down the middle of Laburnum Road and had just been missed being hit twice by cars. Jim eventually caught and coaxed our scared boy into his van and took him home. Thanks also to Patty Turner who spent hours helping me try to find our dog on that day. We’re so pleased to have chosen Parksville as our new home.
