18 FOCUS - NOVEMBER 2017 THUMBS UP - to Donna and Sandra at Hank’s Pastries. They have watched our children grow, listened and cared through the hard times, cheered and encouraged through the good times and treated each person who enters the doors with amazing kindness and joy! They make Hank’s feel like an extension of our own kitchens...where we matter and are known personally. Thanks for all you do. We love you ladies! THUMBS DOWN - to the woman that felt it was necessary to speed by our horses on the road. Please advise her that it is against the law to speed past a horse - you are required to keep a distance and pass slowly. You frightened a young horse just learning to travel on the road and she almost backed into your vehicle as you passed. We tried to get off the road and into the driveway but didn’t quite make it. There is a sign on our road warning about horses on the road. THUMBS UP - Kudos to Sheila; the kind lady who delivered coffee and muffins to two chilly ladies who were selling Port Perry House Tour tickets in front of the post office on Saturday September 16. Your kindness is another example of Port Perry friendliness. THUMBS DOWN - On behalf of those who live on Hwy. 7A in Nestleton, we would like to caution those drivers that choose to speed through our neighbourhood. You are creating a community that will not tolerate this any longer!! We are working with each other and police to enforce more pressure to drivers who choose to break the law. Drivers beware - we will catch you! And if you are driving for a business, your company will be notified! THUMBS UP - I can’t imagine how many times throughout the year business owners are requested to make room to display a poster and/or make a product or service donation. A special thumbs up to the businesses of Scugog Township for helping to promote the Terry Fox Run by displaying posters, selling t-shirts, providing product, service and financial donations adding to the great success of the Terry Fox Run.
