It is said "the first casualty of war is the truth." Ironically, no one is really sure who first made this statement but there is evidence to suggest it dates back to the ancient Greeks. In fighting a war, telling the truth is often a disadvantage.

Zombies are fun. Dressing as one for a costume party on Saturday's Zombie Fest in front of Prince George city hall is a chance to celebrate Halloween anytime during the year.

Greenhouses can be very helpful when growing heat-loving plants, especially this year with the recent weather we've been receiving. Vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, beans and squash all grow very well in a greenhouse.
