What is Your Overwhelm Experience?

ʻStress.ʼ It simply isnʼt a complete description of experiencing those moments where everything in life feels like itʼs weighing you down, slowing your pace, numbing your senses, pulling you in a million directions, yet not moving you anywhere! Personally, I prefer the term ʻoverwhelmʼ because it more accurately describes the general heavy feeling of ʻweighted-down-ness.ʼ

Hot-off-the-press, chick-lit novel by Lions Bay Writer/Producer, Shannon Nering.

Set behind the scenes of North America's most popular guilty pleasure-- reality TV--Reality Jane delivers a highspirited, delicious tale of finding love and a career in Hollywood while juggling lipo envy, singlehood angst, and the resounding results of success.

Reality Jane follows Jane Kaufman, a Canadian journalist who, thanks to a lucky connection,

Masahito Yoshida, a 30 year old engineer from Japan decided to walk around the world. He started on 1 January 2009 from Shanghai and crossed Asia and Europe on foot to the westernmost point in Europe: Cabo da Roca, near Lisbon, Portugal. On the way he passed through China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.

Bed bugs are small reddish-brown parasites that are about the size of ladybugs. They can infest your home, bite both you and your pets and they are extremely difficult to get rid of. Bed bugs got their name because they usually live in or near beds. They are most active at night and bite humans while they are sleeping. They feed for a few minutes but usually go unnoticed until the bites are found on the skin. They prefer to feed on human blood, but will also bite other warm blooded animals like the cats and dogs, unlike fleas that prefer cats and dogs, but will also bite humans.

Letʼs Get Prepared!

Vancouver Sun Run April 15th, 2012

All you RAINFOREST RAMBLERS prepare for your second annual appearance at this momentous event. Last year there were 19 participants from Lions Bay. We hope we can encourage an even greater turnout this year.

I propose that we enter a walking group and a running group and that we schedule regular practices for runners beginning in January.

The Lions Bay R/C Racing League meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 – 7:30 pm in the Village Hall to race radio controlled cars in a competitive and fun atmosphere. The league is open to all Lions Bay residents, ranging from Kids to Big Kids (i.e. Adults). Families are encouraged to participate! At this time our age range is spans 10 y/o to old farts, however anyone able to drive an R/C car around a course is welcome.

Adults be warned! The kids are very good at this!

On Sunday, September 25, 2011 a team of volunteers coordinated by Eric Fleury went out to clean Lions Bay Beach and Kelvin Grove Beach. This was sponsored by the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. A record of the items collected went on data cards. These cards are then used to see what types of litter are most prevalent and problematic in our area.

We collected paper bags, plastic bags, balloons, beverage cans, caps, pull tabs, glass bottles, items of clothing, food wrappers, rope, fishing line, lots of cigarette butts, building materials, styrofoam and wire. The most unusual item we found this year was an aluminum foam filled pontoon which was 6 feet by 2 feet by 1 foot in size. We collected about 43 pounds of garbage.

The top 3 litter items removed throughout the coastal cleanups in British Columbia continue to be cigarette/cigarette filters, food wrappers/ containers and plastic bags. The top recyclable items that continue to end up as litter are plastic bottles and beverage cans.

Also, we want to include an update from the Knight family in Brunswick Beach that they are continually picking up stuff from their shorelines and they note that the Alberta Bay Beach section has been fairly clean except for when a big storm hits. They would like to pass on a message for everyone: "whatever you bring to the beach make sure you pack it out with you".

Great job to everyone who pitched in. See you all in September of 2012 for our next annual Shoreline cleanup in Lions Bay.

The 2011 season got off to a very discouraging start. To begin with, two of our display pots were destroyed during the winter by out of control motorists who clearly wish to remain anonymous. Spring never seemed to arrive, and our crew was greatly reduced in numbers.

Susan L and Lisa took on gainful employment, the Pikes and the Dudleys cared for too many grandchildren, the Luethys too many dogs, Kathrin and Jean left the country and Sam [a.k.a. Wendy] decided that cruising was a better option. Poor Myron was often left to sweep the streets alone.
