Thumbs up/Thumbs down
Bugle-Observer staff have their say:
THUMBS UP to Bobby Vail and the members of the Woodstock Lindsays/Bowlacade teams for their induction into the Woodstock Sports Wall of Fame tomorrow, Saturday, May 10. Vail has dedicated the past five decades to playing, coaching and leading hockey in this area, throughout the province and across the nation. The Woodstock bowling team ruled the provincial bowling ranks through the ‘70s and ‘80s, bringing many titles back to the home lanes. These are both deserving selections for Wall of Fame induction. I invite everyone to attend Saturday’s induction ceremony at the Carleton Civic Centre’s community room at 2 p.m.

THUMBS UP to the Hartland Fire Department volunteer firefighters, their spouses and girlfriends, the Blazers, other volunteers and exhibitors for doing another bangup job at the annual trade show. Year after year the firefighters come through with a great show, which continually attracts thousands of visitors. Exhibitors and visitors return each year because of the show’s ongoing reputation for quality. That’s a testament to the hard work of the firefighters and their friends.

THUMBS UP to local poets. During the month of April the Bugle-Observer, along with Owl Book & Gift Shop, sponsored a poetry contest. We had an overwhelming response, and it was a tough contest to judge. The entries were awesome, and the contest made me realize there are so many talented people in Carleton and York counties. All the people who participated in the contest submitted amazing pieces of art. Continue writing and keep building on your talents! I encourage readers to turn to page A2 to see the faces behind the winning entries.

THUMBS DOWN to the lack of consideration from the federal government towards the Maritimes. Last week, the St. John River Valley suffered the worst flooding since 1973. Thousands of people have suffered, but yet the feds have decided to send millions of dollars to aid the victims of a cyclone in Myanmar, formerly Burma. I know that country suffered a major disaster and I do feel for the people affected by it, but, as a Canadian, I strongly think our federal government should take care of our own people before helping others. If the flooding had occurred in southern Ontario or southern Quebec, the government would not have thought twice. I think it is time for the Maritimes to band together to get a better representation in Parliament.
