Tonight Reggae Darling

The second in the 2025 Summer Concerts Series moves uptown to Miramar Plaza in White Rock this evening.

The giant free show will take place in the outdoor plaza in front of Thrifty Foods.

Bring your lawn chair and dance away the night.

Show-time 7 p.m.

Mostly Marley started as a house gig, with the idea of bringing Classic Reggae to an otherwise starving audience. The name stems from having been asked; "What kind of music do you play?" The answer would always be; "Classic Reggae by various artists, but mostly Marley."

TNT The Naked Truth

Don Pitcairn

Tuesday July 08, 2025

Anyone who has followed my TNT column in the White Rock Sun for the past 16 years knows that public safety and in particular road safety are rather high on my list of topics that I like to cover.  This is because I know that bad engineering kills people and if I can help facilitate change, it will make roads safer and save lives.  The fact that I tend to drive a lot on the roadways I write about shows that there is a degree of self-preservation involved, with the life that I might save possibly being my own.  Add to this the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warning that most accidents happen within 5 miles of your home and fatal accidents often occur within 25 miles and you can understand my concern.  With that being said, I once again bring you up to speed with the Crescent Road raceway.
