She J says, “Thumbs Up” to Al Fulford of the Boardwalk Cafe and John Mackie of Port Perry Marina for flood- ing and maintaining the wonderful outdoor skating rinks at the lakefront, in front of the marina. A great recreational facil- ity that is being well used and enjoyed by people of all ages. We heartily agree. Great work guys! Thumbs Up - to Angela Connolly for organizing the “Fund Run for Haiti” a few weeks back to help the people 3g of Haiti, who were devastated by a shattering earth- quake in January. A total of 155 caring people turned up raising an impressive $7,263 through donations. The money was to be forwarded to “Feed The Children,” to help the children left homeless and injured during the quake. Thumbs Down - With the lack of snow this winter, once again we're getting calls to give a ‘thumbs down’ to © dog owners who fail to ‘stoop and scoop’. We agree, so here goes. To all the lazy, inconsiderate dog own- ers... pick up your dog's s--t so we don't have to step in it or pick it off our lawns in the spring. Oh, that felt good! Thumbs Up - While on the same topic of Haiti, we would be remiss not to give a big ‘thumbs up’ to Dr. Tony 3 Brown and Dr. Paul Puckrin, who left their comfortable medical practices in Port Perry to lend a hand to the thousands of Haitians left injured, starving and homeless following the massive quake. We salute these caring Port Perry residents for providing care in a time of need. Thumbs Up - to Port Perry High School graduate David Stewart who was recently honoured by being selected 3g to represent the Sprott Schoo! of Business at the John Molson Undergrauate Case Competition in Montreal. David was one of four students from Sprott competing against students from 20 universities and business schools from around the world in an extensive week long challenge. Thumbs Up - A big ‘thumbs up’ for the quick action taken by Kim Brady, Brian Trimble and Lona Williams in saving 3g the life of fellow employee Ken Middleton last month. The trio came to Ken's rescue after a sudden heart at- tack, administering CPR and using the portable defibrillator unit to keep him alive until emergency crews could take over. Thumbs Down - Need to speak to your local banker... well that's easier said than done. Calling all four banks at & 2 p.m. ona recent Friday, each phone was answered by an electronic operator who listed an assortment of options and services at the bank. It's not much better trying to get hold of someone at the Scugog Township office which has also opted to remove real people from answering the phones. Oh for the good old days when phone calls were answered by a ‘live’ body. “Hello! Are you listening?”
