Words of Caution Drive Safely and Sober.

HAPPY SAFE, SOUND AND FUN  HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

Yours Truly

Just some few months ago the owners, the Thiessen family, launched a new career of their own. An emotional and physical make-over for a change they all decided would be conducive to each of their individual goals [including the teens in the family].

To work with health foods of this very natural character, fruit juices and solid fresh fruits and many other ingredients for the warm and served hot lunch and menu items on the agenda is rewarding and fun Lawrence and Sandi agree upon.

Mr. Jazz Mattu is a documented Medical Herbal Practitioner. This family owned business and wellness centre and store does include also wife Pinky Mattu.

This friendly and knowledgeable resource is located by the north side of the world famous 'Whaling Wall' on Russell Avenue in White Rock, BC.

Pay them a visit.

Happy Holidays.

Live music and song by the Christmas Choir ...Ho, Ho Santa was in place and was interviewed.

The dinner guests were enchanted by this serene and delightful event.

Mrs. Michelle Palmer managed the project and event and everyone was happy with both food, entertainment and the performances made by the student body.

Santa Claus was impressed by the impeccable and good behaviour exercised by the students during the past school year.

In the midst of holiday preparations and the Christmas upon us in a few days I met and spoke to very sensible and positive ladies'

The sound quality could be better but still...

Harmony, content with great attitude as displayed by two experienced and local talents and both in 'business' each their own way made my afternoon delightful.

We had fun chatting away about life and White Rock.

A busy 'coffee stop' catering to residents and tourists alike.

A charming owner and hostess, Ruth, greeted me with her usual positive laughter and attitude. In fact a 'good fare for the soul' to make our day. I am sure you'll agree.

To make reservations for any of Ruth's specialties [to-go] give her a ring 604-538-6600: pasteries anad other goodies to ...for!

Be well,

Yours truly.

Mayor: "We shall be the healthiest city in all of Canada"

The Council body - 6 councillors and the Mayor were all 'grooming and flattering' each other with the utmost of politeness and courtesy. It's Christmas in a few days. The kindness of the Season is shining through.

Having attended many a meeting with less 'courtesy and concern of etiquette' shown, tonight was a pleasant exception.

How nice when all are nice to each other and all agree to cooperate. It was a 'council in harmony' you may say.

"Mr. BadWeather" is right on your porch and drive way. Due diligence for your family's and your own safety's sake is warranted.

Have your check-up made by the 'real doctors' of 'Wheelogoly' and 'Tireology'.

Your vehicle deserves a regular check-up and we know of none more capable than Jim and his crew and partners in 'vehicle maintenance operations' of this business.

Address: 2101-152nd Street, South Surrey, BC

Telelphone: 604-535-0262

Have a safe and worryfree season ahead.

A mini-portrait of a young man in his mid 30's.

A career politician 'sitting' on Council in White Rock in his sixth year and still looking forward....this year's Civic Election 2008, anxiously perhaps, wondering about 'who will challenge' his 'seat' in this Council in the coming autumn campaign and election.

The White Rock Reporter got the 'first out of the gate' on the news about the 'park to be' in the immediate vicinity of the White Rock, BC pier and present mini-marina.

The first segment of the interview got lost in cyberspace.

An atttempt to do a re-run made the second part two sound like this.

Kirchner's backgrond is exciting and the book -376 pages- title 'A Matter of Time' -a True Story, now serves also as a project for a motion picture production under way. 

Distraught business woman and retailer sold 'her space to her next door neighbour, on Marine Drive East.'.

Office space is in demand in White Rock and on the Marine Drive, East beach, BC. I was told after the interview.

Merchant is sounding the alarm...'time to rethink the White Rock Parking Concept; a business run by our city on land mostly owned by a 'foreign corporation'. BNSFR need to go!?
