28 FOCUS - MAY 2017 THUMBS UP - A woman dropped in a thumbs up to a gentleman who was behind her at the check out in Foodland on March 28. She was having problems with her bankcard and was going to leave her groceries, go home and get money, when he paid for her entire purchase. Thank you so much, you made my day! Only in Port Perry! THUMBS UP - to all of the crossing guards who have been there everyday through freezing rain, blizzards, sub zero temperatures and scorching hot days without complaint and usually a smile and wave. Thanks for making sure our children arrive safely to school and home each day. THUMBS UP - There is a recycle/garbage collector who has been picking up garbage since last fall that goes out of his way to put garbage bins one inside the other. I have personally waited and thanked him for going the extra mile to keep our neighbourhood tidy. It’s nice not to wander down the street and find the bins strewn about. If you see him doing this very thing, please thank him as well. THUMBS DOWN - A reader sent this in – “Give me a break. In our back yard, we see rabbits, raccoons and skunks but just today there was a possum, yes possum, casually walking by. These are ugly looking scavengers which we are very surprised to see and have a thumbs down feeling toward having them around”. THUMBS UP - Kudos to those on the Executive of Port Perry Minor Hockey who organized the annual awards ceremony/pizza party held in early April at the Community Center. Due to their voluntary efforts, the kids and coaches of each and every team in the association enjoyed a great time. Also, it was great to see members of the Mojacks’ Executive helping out during the day. It shows how community-minded that group is! THUMBS UP - to the Port Perry United Church Chicks and Ken Koury of The Nutty Chocolatier for making Easter Sunday so special again this year with the annual Easter Bonnet Parade and the Easter Egg Hunt!
