Cheers:
Cheers to the people who have written letters to the police chief and the deputy police chief, asking for their resignation. Their treatment of Jay Pierson was disgusting and they should both terminate their employment with the Estevan Police Service.
Cheers to Paul Twietmeyer for the beautiful mural that he created for the front of the Carlyle Memorial Hall. It’s important that we continue to recognize the efforts of front-line health care workers.
Cheers to Estevan businesses that support other Estevan businesses.
Cheers to the Estevan Patriots for getting out and cleaning up the discarded masks (and other debris) in the city. But you have to wonder why people are so lazy that they don’t put their masks in the garbage when they’re finished with them.
Cheers to the Estevan Fire Rescue Service for their dedication to the community. Four calls in a 12-hour span last week is a pretty demanding schedule for a paid, on-call department.
Cheers to the Estevan Wildlife Federation for finding a way to salute its award winners for 2020. Just because you can’t recognize them during an awards banquet doesn’t mean you can’t salute them in some way. And a lot of people were out hunting and fishing last year.
Jeers:
Jeers to George Foord on his letter to the editor in a recent edition of the Mercury, regarding it being time to lift restrictions. His comments are short-sighted and dangerous. Money is not as important as lives.
Jeers to the two females in a black Chev truck that was turning east by Fas Gas on Friday night around 9:30 p.m. Not only did they almost hit another vehicle, they went down Sixth Street on the wrong side of the street.
Jeers to the provincial government for not giving the green light for the SJHL to have a season within a bubble. The proposal met all the requirements but the government still said no.
