Thumbs Bown to the people who own fish huts and left them n Lake Scugog during last month’s thaw and rain y Many of them sank, with only their roofs showing and no way of getting them out.

The funds were raised through the sales a their popular “Guardian Angel” ornament sales, In $22,000 o the hospital. Thanks Dana for your generous gift! Thumbs Up to the management of the new Bayview condo- minium project on Perry St. for their Christmas spirit ‘We're sure almost everyone noticed they decorated the mast and arm of the tower crane with colourful Christ- mas lights. According to one official, the company spent $700 to install lights on the crane. Job well done. Congrats! Thumbs Down to those responsible for taking care of the Super Mail Boxes in and around Port Perry. They have appar- ently forgotten how to keep the aluminium structures accessible, forcing people to struggle over mounds of Snow to pick up their mail. The lack of care is danger- ous for our mail carriers, local residents and in particular our seniors who struggle getting into the boxes. Thumbs Up to Ken and Angie De Jong for the newly renovated Hank's Pastries. After being closed for a month to un- dergo extensive renovations it's nice to see the popular bakery and eatery open again. And of course everyone missed the smell of bread and buns baking in their busy ovens. We're glad you're back... you were missed!! LIFE CAN BE COMPLICATED BUT YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS SHOULDN'T BE.
