This week's Thumbs up

Thumbs Up: To the City of Grand Forks’ workers for installing a safe/level sidewalk alongside St. John’s United Church.

Thumbs Down: To the people parking used RVs, boats, cars and trucks on public property for sale (it’s an eyesore).

Thumbs Down: To the city for not ticketing and towing the above.

Thumbs Up: To the owner of the lot on Donaldson Drive for supplying a spot to sell used RVs, boats, cars and trucks.

Thumbs Up: A big thumbs up to those people using the lot on Donaldson Drive.

Thumbs Up: To the Greenwood fire department for coming up to Jewel Lake two days in a row to watch over fire threats from trees falling on power lines after a spectacular hail storm came through the area (see page 3).

Thumbs Up: To the quick response and putting different crossword puzzles in the Gazette and The Boundary Creek Times.

Thumbs Up: To all the volunteers that helped out at some of this past weekend’s events, including provincial Master’s cycling race, BMX provincial championships and Christina Lake Homecoming. You are the unsung heroes.

Thumbs Up: To RCMP for patrolling Christina Lake and ensuring boat safety.

Thumbs Down: To domestic assault.

Thumbs Up: The city for beginning work at the lot behind the CIBC. The swimming pool-sized puddles will soon be things of the past.
