Fortunately, other than my dignity, nothing was bro- ken but I was a muddy mess with a bruised leg. Before leven had time to look up a kindly gentleman helped me to my feet and when | assured him that I was okay, I stumbled across to the post office. Here I was greeted by a lovely, sympathetic clerk who ushered me into the washroom to get cleaned up, while she wiped all the mud off my mail. Imade my way across the street to the T.D. Bank where I found the teller and managers very caring and helpful. Just several more reasons why I’m so thankful that we settled in Port Perry. Thank you everyone. Joy Forbes Port Perry Get garbage in the truck, not the street Dear Editor I'd like to give a “Thumbs Down” to Scugog’s garbage collection company for leaving empty garbage cans strewn all over the roads and in the middle of driveways. Often there is garbage from the cans strewn on the boulevard too. People who use garbage cans do so because they are mindful of the environment and prefer not to use large green plastic garbage bags. Unfortunately, every week we find the garbage cans and empty recycling boxes all over the place. If the workers could just slow down a little bit, per- haps all the garbage would make it into the truck and the empty cans could end up on the boulevard instead of the street. Thanks for letting me vent.
