Buckets of roses to the man who saw us standing on the side of the road in the pouring rain. It was very generous to give the cheer team at North Surrey Secondary $100.

A river full of rotten tomatoes to the two middle-aged men throwing large rocks at the salmon in the Serpentine River at Tynehead Park. You acted like nothing was wrong when confronted. We will be watching you; leave the salmon alone to spawn!

Roses to the construction crew in Newton who helped an older gentleman with a walker. We were having coffee when we noticed an older man having difficulty passing by. It blessed my heart to see the crew stop and help.

Roses to the City of Surrey and the crew who trimmed the trees in Janice Park Estates. It has taken years, but you all did a great job and cleaned up everything. Thank you!

A car full of roses to Allie for helping two seniors at 88th and 140th on Oct. 29. He pushed us out of traffic and drove me to my daughter's, escorting me to her door. Thanks Allie.

Garbage cans full of rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey - while the new garbage collection is a good idea, you keep changing the date when our old containers will be picked up. Most of us can't spare the extra room to keep the three new large bins plus all our old ones. Get on it already!

Roses to the person who turned in $100 at London Drugs. I had taken the funds out of the ATM and was interrupted.It was a rough week with my mom passing and having my Visa card compromised.

Rotten tomatoes to the selfish person who insisted that all retail shop owners participate in the Halloween event at Surrey Central mall. It shows the depravity that some have fallen to in our consumerist society where they demand everyone to get involved in a festival where free goodies are expected.

Roses to the RCMP members who participated in the "It Gets Better" video. Tough job done well. Congratulations.
