The Ministry of Natural Resources has closed this species for a reason and nothing is being done to stop the poaching. Save our fish and our lake! (Sadly, I personally have witnessed this far too many times). THUMBS UP - to the Bill Lishman Memorial Committee looking to raise funds to create a memorial sculpture in honour of Bill, who passed away last year. Artist, filmmaker and inventor, Bill helped raise awareness on a number of environmental issues and also put Perry on the global map. The hope is that this commemorative sculpture can be erected on the waterfront for everyone to enjoy now and in the future. THUMBS DOWN - to the shouting senior man on a suicide mission that was hiding around a blind corner in the centre of a clearly marked snowmobile trail. THUMBS DOWN - to some very impatient drivers in town this winter season. A resident mentioned that with slippery, snowy and icy conditions, people who are trying to cross the street at a cross walk, unfortunately are not able to walk as fast as normal from one side to the other. On numerous occasions, I have experienced or witnessed drivers blowing their horns at people. I wish everyone would be more patient and considerate. THUMBS UP - Kudos to the snowplow driver who clears our streets after a heavy snow fall. As he approaches each driveway, he raises the blade until he has passed to the next house. All the way down our street nobody has a windrow of heavy snow at the end of their driveway that they must clear themselves. Everybody who has ever cleared snow knows how heavy those piles of partially melted snow are to clear. Thanks Mr. Plow Driver!
