On April 23, while buying beer at The Beer Store, he was told by the manager that during his previous visit, 2% weeks earlier, he accidentally dropped a $20 bill on the counter. The store clerk, Claudia, informed the manager, who in turn gave him back his $20. Such honesty and integrity!! Cheers! THUMBS DOWN - to dog owners who leave their pet's waste alongside the roads and sidewalks of the town. We are talking about “scooped poop” here, not a freshly deposited lump. Why would anyone make the effort to “stoop and scoop”, tie the bag, then drop it on the ground instead of taking it home? Come on dog owners... stoop, scoop and dispose - but not on the roadside! Have you no shame? THUMBS UP - to Emily Ayres, Cynthia Nimri and Lauren Esdale, three Port Perry grade 8 students honoured with the 2015 Louise Russo Working Against Violence Everyday Award for Leadership. These three young ladies were recognized for their efforts to celebrate every student, from kindergarten to grade 8, in their school! Kudos to you! THUMBS UP - from Susie Bollon. Congratulations to Peter Hvidsten on his retirement and thumbs up and congratulations to MaryAnn Fleming for taking on the challenge of becoming the new owner and publisher of the Focus. May you both enjoy your new endeavours and have fulfilling futures. Thanks Susie, we appreciate it! THUMBS UP - to the gentleman who picked up the scattered contents of my wallet on a busy Simcoe Street in Port Perry, and actually drove to my house in Seagrave to drop it off. | didn’t get your name, but you restored my faith in humanity on Sunday May 17.
