We ask that you return it to Landon’s Tree Service (the address is written on the inside rail). THUMBS DOWN - to the people who vandalize the public washrooms by the baseball field. THUMBS UP - to Scugog Township employees who kept our parks and flowers looking wonderful this past summer. THUMBS DOWN - to the individuals who dump their yard waste in the ditches along St. Christophers Beach Road and Colwell Drive. The township performed costly upgrades to our road last year and the road has improved immensely. Do those individuals not realize that the ditch work was completed to allow proper drainage resulting in a vastly improved access? The ditches are for drainage, not yard waste. Bag it and put it out to be picked up by the great services provided by the township. THUMBS UP - to Devon Smith and his mighty sooper- dooper wheelchair, who delivers Canada Post mail daily to many stores and businesses in town with his caregiver Carly. THUMBS UP - to Fred Haines of Signworks for his generous donation of signage for Devon Smith’s Movember Campaign. Thanks Fred! THUMBS DOWN - to some of the parents of the children of Cartwright Public School in Blackstock who insist on driving at excessive speeds on Mason Street. As you are well aware there are no sidewalks and this is a very narrow road. Please drive as though your children live on this street. THUMBS DOWN - to the property owner on Scugog Street with two lovely loaded pear trees on their property with a no trespassing sign. I can understand that part, but please pick up the pears and eat or donate them to the food bank. Just do something rather than let them fall to the ground and rot. It’s a shame! THUMBS UP - to Town Hall 1873 staff, who because of this column (readers’ opinion) had the old door on Queen Street painted. Hopefully they can continue to keep that corner spruced up with new or refurbished lamps and attractive house numbers in keeping with the age of the building. THUMBS UP - a number of residents commented – to all those responsible for lighting the town up this Christmas season, fantastic!
