It’s that time again when we take your
“sweet cherries” and “sour grapes” and
hang them out to dry for everyone to
see.
We know you’ve missed them, so
here are some we have compiled:
A bin of SOUR GRAPES to drivers
who pull U-turns on Main Street in Oliver.
Don’t you know this is a highway?
Next time I’m calling the cops!
Daily witness
A truck load of SOUR GRAPES to AIM
Roads for operating their snowplow at
12:30 in the morning. It woke me up!
Why can’t they plow the roads at 5:30
a.m. when people are getting up?
Sleep worshipper
A huge pail of SWEET CHERRIES to
McKinney Place staff for miraculously
preventing the virus from spreading
to the adjoining hospital. Thank you so
much for your dedication.
Reader
A pail of SOUR GRAPES in the face
to people (including politicians and
government personnel) who travelled
abroad over Christmas. What were you
thinking? Resignations, please.
Dedicated mask wearer
A lunch kit full of SOUR GRAPES to
dog owners who allow their pets to
crap on the elementary school field
without cleaning it up. How would you
like to step in a fresh pile or fall in it
when pushed by a chum? Gross! Just
make sure you turn your face at the last
second.
Observer
A ton of SWEET CHERRIES to Oliver
firefighters like Ash and the rest of the
gang for coming to the aid of people
in crises. These guys (and one gal) are
true guardian angels who risk their
own safety to help others in need.
A fan
A bong full of SOUR GRAPES to municipalities
that continue to green light
cannabis stores like the day turns to
night. Why do we need more marijuana
shops to get high? Is life that unbearable?
If another pot shop opens its
doors I’ll scream.
Cantankerous over cannabis
A pew full of SOUR GRAPES to
churches who continue to defy public
health orders not to gather. Do you
think God would want you to endanger
the lives of parishioners? Church leaders
are not above the law and have no
right to exacerbate this pandemic.
Disgusted
Many SWEET CHERRIES to people
like Brenda Dorosz and Kristen Mason
for helping to raise money for the
Braga family after their tragedy. This is
what makes Osoyoos a caring community
when a crisis hits.
Reader
A load of SWEET CHERRIES to new
businesses opening up in Oliver, such
as Popolo Restaurant (Steve Raye) and
Oliver Feedway by Johnny
Aantjes). It takes guts to open up a
new business during the pandemic, so
thank you.
