Thumbs Up, Thumbs down

What we have noted this week in Sooke and the surrounding area

Thumbs Up

To those who help others with disabilities in Sooke. Donna Marlow wants to give a thumbs up to thank all those people who regularly give her a helping hand in getting from point A to point B in Sooke. She said she is the elderly lady with a cane who looks like she is going to fall over all the time. She thanks everyone and said she will be getting a scooter soon. With the construction going on in all parts of Sooke, please lend a hand where needed if you see a senior, someone in a wheelchair or a walking problem, help them across the street.

Thumbs down

To dumpers. Shame on those people who think any space that isn’t someone’s yard is a space where they can dump their garbage. One of our readers sent along a photo of someone’s unwanted living room furniture dumped in Millenium Park on Maple Avenue. Shame on those who have no pride or respect for Sooke. Shame on those who dump along rural roads. Selfish people such as these expect others to clean up their mess. A very stiff fine should be laid on anyone who dumps.
