THUMBS UP –  and congratulations to Jennifer Sawyer, owner of North End Fitness on her latest achievement. Jennifer brought home the canfitpro Sharon Mann Inspiration Award, which stands on the pillars of personal courage, growth mindset, influence, inspiration and community impact. Jennifer exemplifies these elements daily, so being recognized is truly significant.

THUMBS DOWN – to those who do not use their directional signals! It seems to be getting worse and worse and I feel like I take my life in my hands driving these days. They are so easy to use, could you please start!

THUMBS UP – to the Township of Scugog Parks Department for their ongoing efforts to keep our town looking well maintained. All of the staff carries local pride that should not go unnoticed.

THUMBS UP – for “The Waterboy” who handed out 40 cases of FREE water to the attendees of this year’s Scugog Chamber Beer & Cider Festival, held in Palmer Park on Friday August 2 and Saturday August 3. This fine young man is a true pleasure and really represents what it means to be kind.

THUMBS DOWN – to those people standing at the top of a dead end street, throwing debris at vehicles driving on Simcoe St (at Saintfield Rd) mid August. They threw a large piece of asphalt through the windshield of a police cruiser and seems as though all vehicles are being targeted. This was posted on Facebook to bring awareness to everyone. 

THUMBS UP – to the guys at the dump on Reach St., Port Perry for always being so friendly and making it such a pleasant experience!

THUMBS UP – to the Port Perry Fair for the new baking contest, that had a first place prize of $1000 for the women to match the men’s only contest dollar value!
