Spotlight: July 26, 2010 – Aloutte Fresh

A purpley-blue sweet sphere. Duke. Toro. Blue Jay. Enjoyed by humans, bears and birds alike. What is it we speak of? The blueberry, of course!

There is nothing quite like a plump, sweet or a small, tart blueberry.  We are blessed to live in the Fraser Valley where blueberries are abundant and farmers have perfected the crops of these delicious berries. Many years we find our freezers stacked with fresh blueberries collected from the local farms during the summer. This year will be no different, we’re sure.

July 2010: Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center

Mahatma Ghandi once said that “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”.  The Fraser Valley then, can rest assured that our moral progress is quite far along when a place like Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center exists. Elizabeth and her volunteers work tirelessly to save and rehabilitate small animals that many of us may not think twice about.  We can all be grateful that she has followed her calling and created a haven for these defenseless creatures in our community.

Elizabeth is a Registered Nurse with a love for animals and a heart for the hurt and abandoned.   READ MORE >
