Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of August 4!
- Kisses to Maurice at Sechelt’s Repair Café who tried for more than two hours to get my battery-operated emergency radio to work. Thanks for your patience and persistence!
- Exuberant kisses to Nikki Weber and all the musicians and singers and technicians who lifted the audience to heights of joy at Sh-Boom’s concert. I’m still on Cloud 9!
- Kicks to the anonymous person who assumed my dogs were in danger and left a rude note on my car seat. The windows were all down, the roof open, I was parked in the shade and it was 18 C in the car.
- Piles of kicks to the horse riders/owners who have been riding their horses in the Big Fir Trails recently. This delicate trail network was not built for, nor can they sustain horse traffic.
- Kisses to the resident of Natalie Lane who took two hours out of her summer evening to clear vegetation from the ditch at Brooks Road and 101 so we might have a clear sightline from there. Why this overdue maintenance needed to be performed by the citizen remains perplexing.
- Kisses to Sechelt recycling personnel who happily helped me with ever so much cardboard …even crawling into the back of my van to get it all out and bringing the bin right to the van! Wow!
- Kisses to Dani, Jen and all those who helped them to put on a hugely successful Mitts tournament. What an amazing event to empower over 150 Coast women, promote fun and sportsmanship and celebrate women in sport!
- Kisses to RCMP officer Jeong. His above and beyond helpfulness, decency and consideration when dealing with an incident where we were entirely in the wrong gives renewed faith in the force.
- Kisses to our Halfmoon Bay firehall who drove Redroofs Rd. trying to locate the exact waterfront location of discharged fireworks.
- Kicks to the irresponsible person who discharged fireworks in Halfmoon Bay.
- Kisses to all those who supported the Pottery Prowl : those who ‘prowled’, those who sponsored and those who promoted.
- Kicks to the owners of a beautiful setter who is regularly running along Bonniebrook beach unattended. Who ensures he doesn’t get hit by a car? Who picks up after him?
