After numerous delays work is finally underway on the replacement of the dock at Lighthouse Marine Park. Workers are currently removing old pilings and replacing them with new steel ones. The new floating dock, already on site, is expected to go in during the next few weeks. It will be a busy summer at the park, with work removing unsafe sections of the boardwalk scheduled for later this summer.

The Point Roberts Parks and Recreation District is looking for two more counselors for this summer's Kids Camp.

"So far, so good," said Tom Kunesh with the county health department of the first water quality sampling results from Maple Beach.
