Dear Editor, Returning to Bowen from my Christmas weekend I picked up a copy of The Undercurrent on the ferry.

In case you missed it, National Child day was on November 20 th and throughout the week, community organizations across the country took the opportunity to share information about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Dear Editor, I really appreciate living in this community, more so when it snows.

Dear Editor, I am sure the two hikers up Mount Gardner on Monday, the 12 th , were very happy to see the fire fighters who hiked up to them and helped them find their way down. Thank you to the Bowen fire fighters who participated in this rescue.

Welcome to the final issue of the Undercurrent for 2016, a year which can broadly be summed up as having been a brutal one – at least from a big picture perspective.

“How much is that puppy in the window?” If you have ever been tempted by a cuddly kitten or puppy in the pet store window, please think again. Pets do not make good gifts, especially not at Christmas-time.

Dear Editor: Bowen Islanders! Please save the stamps from your Christmas cards and take them to the Bowen post office.
