20 FOCUS - MAY 2015 Focus Readers Comment Dear Editor Easter Bonnet parade a great success Dear Editor On behalf of the Church Chicks United thank you to Focus on Scugog - for doing exactly that - focusing on our 6th Annual Easter Bonnet Parade and Contest. You all have been our biggest champion from the start and without the exposure youve given us we are sure it would not have become the grand event that it is today. It was blisteringly cold this year but sunny- we had about half the street crowd but our contestpartici- pant numbers only suffered a bit 152 compared to last years 184. The Chicks would also like to thank our two spon- sors Cakes By Stephanie and The Kids Cupboard Ken and Pat at the Nutty Chocolatier as well as DJ Todd Soomre Tripp Creative Photography and our judges JulieAnne Gatto-Gibbons Kerri King and Kent Farndale. A huge thank you to the following schools for par- ticipating in Crazy Hat Day RH Cornish SA Cawk- er Prince Albert Epsom Greenbank Cartwright The Childrens House Montessori School Trinity Grace School and to Port Perry High School for their donation as well. All money raised both at the event and the adjoining Crazy Hat Day goes to the Scugog Memorial Librarys children and teen area. One of the Church Chicks reported that they heard a child exclaim This is the happiest day of my life When the parent replied Wow why the child said Its the funnest and prettiest thing to see and I get to smile with all my friends. Mission accomplished Thanks Peter Pam Hollett Melissa Durward Co-chairs Port Perry Easter Bonnet Contest Parade Fix splash pad before kids arrive Dear Editor It annoys me to read in our local newspaper that council is considering painting the Old Mill. Why You may say because the Pan Am Torch is going through our community. Please do not misunderstand me I am not against the torch but I believe the money could be put to better use by sprucing up the Childrens Splash Pad. The Port Perry Kinsmen Club approached former Mayor Marilyn Pearce who was a great supporter of this childrens facility. The Kinsmen pledged funds for a splash pad and then began selling fireworks to raise the necessary funds. Two long weekends each sum- mer for about four years members volunteered to sell fireworks to raise the money. Despite the Port Perry Kinsmen folding the men and women who made the promise to raise funds worked on. The pad became a reality and the many many volunteer hours were worth while. The first year the pad looked beautiful and it was a joy to sit and watch the little kids run through the water and enjoy the big frogs and the coloured fish. It truly was a delight. Where were the fish and frogs last year They were thrown in the township yard on Reach Road. The pad was truly a disgrace. It was not a happy spot it was a mess. Many times no water was running. It certainly did not look like a fun spot to take the little ones to. Shame on township and parks and recreations staff for letting this happen to what should be a focal point in our beautiful lakefront park. Come on council fix it right. I am just one of many who spent too many hours to see what has happened to the Childrens Splash Pad.
