- On my way home from Campbell River yesterday, I had just passed the ‘candy cane pole’ when three separate oncoming vehicles flashed their high beams at me. Sure enough, as soon as I rounded the next corner, there was a police car on the side of the road.
I know this is a long standing tradition among all motorists, and is a great way to warn others about animals or other obstacles on the road. But what I think about is all the drugs that are brought into this community on that very road. If you high beam someone, it could just as easily be a car bringing drugs to be sold in Gold River. Or what if the police were watching for a stolen vehicle or a kidnapped child? Along with warning the general public to reduce their speed, you could be giving the heads up to a criminal. Just something to think about.
- I can’t get over the amount of visitors the Buzz receives everyday. It just keeps going up and up – it’s fantastic! With the amount of daily visits, you’d think we’d have more comments around here! What’s up Gold River? Do I need to talk about dog poop again?
- I’m very happy to announce that my dear Rose will not be moving. She waited, she wondered, she prayed, she worked hard and it paid off! She got a full time (well, almost) job! Yay Rose!! I can’t believe we’ve been apart these past years, it’s just not natural Rose. We’re meant to be together – like fine wine and stinky cheese!
- If you didn’t already know, Sandie Rose is a Travel Agent and can help you out with almost anything – from trips to Canucks tickets!
- I received an anonymous email the other day from someone who was a little ticked that I talk about some things that are going on in Gold River, but completely miss out on other events and happenings. If you’d like something posted, then by all means – let me know! You can use the contact form at the top of the page or the email icon on the right. And yes, there have been a few things that I do not post. Emailing me anonymously will not get things on the site, no matter how many times you send it. There are also issues that require a great deal of research (ie: Sea Lice) which tend to get put on the back burner because of the time involved. Please keep in mind that I work full time, have three children (technically two, but I include the husband) a house to clean, laundry to do, meals to cook and wine to drink.
I think you do such a great job at getting the word out for our community, I can’t thank you enough. Please don’t let the one person who was “ticked” get you down. for every one person that is a little negative there are one hundred that are “tickled” with the content and context of your work here. We are so lucky to have you.
I appreciate your good work.

You crack me up! Drink more wine, forget the housework. Don’t let the Inglorious B…(insert Quentin Tarrantino movie title here) get you down! ali
Thanks ladies! No worries – it’s not getting me down at all, it just pi**ed me off a bit. I can’t post what I don’t know what, right? LOL
I agree with Lynn – I think you do an amazing job – sent your link to all my friends and not a day goes by that I don’t check out the buzz, even when I’m in Mexico!!! Keep up the good work.
OK then, let’s talk POOP. The dog park trial is coming to an end. If you have any comments or concerns the Village Council wants to hear them in order to make an informed decision on the fate of said park. We are also thinking about putting other poop bag dispensers around our Village. What do you think?
