THUMBS UP – wow, we sure have had lots of exceptional curlers from Scugog recently, and this time around, a thumbs up goes out to our Port Perry High School curling team that came home with the gold medal from Thunder Bay on March 28. Congratulations!

THUMBS UP – 16 years and counting! From 2010-2026, Camille’s Closet has raised $1,060,000 for equipment at Lakeridge Health Port Perry. An absolutely incredible amount of dollars raised by our volunteers, donors and the loyal support of the whole community!

THUMBS DOWN – to the people who leave their items outside the donation boxes.  These items are no longer useable and the charity actually has to pay for disposal, so your “donation” actually costs the charity rather than helping. 

THUMBS UP – to owners Sharon Runnals and Jane Eksten, owners of Branching Out, downtown Port Perry and each and everyone one of you, who purchased tulips throughout the month of April. Over 2847 tulips sold and of that, fifty cents of each stem   went directly to Operation Scugog! Turning beautiful flowers in to so much moe.

THUMBS DOWN – to the gentleman parked in the fire route in the Food Basics plaza. Even after parking enforcement educated him, his excuse was “I’m waiting for my wife”. He finally started his car and pulled away after giving the officer grief. You are supposed to be setting an example.

THUMBS UP – to Scugog Computers on Perry St. downtown. The guys there were very accommodating. I don’t have enough room here to go in to detail. Small town service at its best!
