FYI: Deb’s Pet Grooming

Deb would like everyone to know that she’s in transit at the moment, having moved to a new residence.  She is not able to continue to receive messages at her old phone number, but her phone will be installed at her new place sometime this week.

Anyone wishing to get in contact with her in the meantime is asked to email her at kismet256@hotmail.com, or send a message through Facebook.

She will let everyone know when Telus has hooked her back up! :)

Rosie the Robin Webcam

Lee Yateman and Gwen Gardner have collaborated to bring Gold River it’s very first live animal webcam!

‘Rosie’ the Robin has decided the hanging planter in Gwen’s carport is the perfect place to make a nest and raise a family.

Add the expertise of Lee, and we have a front row seat to watch Rosie in her nest.

Click here to see Rosie in her nest.  The feed is a little slow, but it does update every minute or so, or you can click the refresh button in the top left.

Lee reports that there was just one egg two days ago, and as of yesterday there are now two eggs!

Go Rosie Go!

THANK YOU MENTORS!

Ray Watkins Elementary School and Gold River Secondary School wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the many wonderful people of Gold River who have acted as mentors and friends to our students.

You have inspired our young people, comforted them, guided them, and had fun with them.  You have had walks, talks and treats with them.  You have baked cookies, brownies, and gingerbread houses.  You have made potato salad!  You have done crafts, made necklaces, bracelets,  and pretty bags.  You have played board games, made play dough and done math.    You have painted,  sewed,  and gone shopping.  You have done fun things on the computer, helped in the classroom, and done healing work.  You have read and written poetry.  You have assisted our young mothers and mothers-to-be.   You have played games and  played the piano, the drums, the violin.  You have shared food!   You have even run around the track and done exercise!
