Bricks and Bouquets

-

A heavy brick bat to rules regarding tree trimming near power lines. Every tree within striking distance should be removed or at least reduced so it cannot bring down power lines and poles. Where is the considerat­ion for those without power supply for days and for those risking their lives to restore power?

Many bouquets to the two SES volunteers that rendered assistance to our damaged tiled roof capping, that was the result of the violent wind storm. Their profession­alism and expertise was very thankful and greatly appreciate­d

Bricks to the thieves who targeted the Baw Baw Food Relief Toyota Van last Monday night stealing the catalytic converter at a considerab­le cost and making it difficult for us to do pick-ups on Tuesday and the rest of the week.

We are saddened that people been targeting other people's property. The money that it will cost to repair and replace parts, would have fed many families who are doing it tough at the moment. To add insult to injury, the money used to pay for repairs was lovingly donated to us by our generous community.

Bricks to the driver of the large white ute who swore at my wife near Coles on Wednesday afternoon because she did not vacate a parking space as fast as he would like. My boys (10, 8. 5) were having trouble putting on their seat belts, which apparently took longer than he considered necessary. The result - a fit of infantile and intimidati­ng hornblowin­g and yelling that left her shaken and disgusted. Is it just me, or do over-large, carbon spewing vehicles seem to be disproport­ionately owned by entitled bullies?

A big bouquet to Julie from Kenny's Florists who retrieved a bouquet from an unattended address, remade it and redelivere­d it the next day at no cost to the sender

Surely 25 deaths in a day and the ripple effect this has on families and friends is enough for Russell Broadbent to get vaccinated.

A thousand bouquets to Russell Broadbent for believing in democracy. He is an amazingly wise and intelligen­t man and will most definitely be receiving my vote and the vote of everyone I know.
