Hugs: To the Boogie Bash participants who helped the Borderline 4-H Club collect bottles and cans at the fairgrounds last weekend. The bottle collection is a major fund raising project for the club each year.

Slugs: To Revenue Canada for forcing Oxfam Canada to change their purpose statement in their application for renewal of their non-profit status. Oxfam’s purpose statement read the group’s purpose is, “to prevent and relieve poverty, vulnerability and suffering by improving the conditions of individuals whose lives, livelihood, security or well-being are at risk.” The government told them they could not prevent poverty; they could only work to alleviate poverty—because in preventing poverty they might benefit someone who is not already poor.

If you have a hug or a slug, we’d like to hear it. We will print the anonymous submissions for all to see. Be honest, but all we ask is that you keep it tasteful. Editor’s discretion will always be exercised. Simply email reporter@boundarycreektimes.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints.
