Cheers:
Cheers to the three full-grown deer who visited a local home recently. They stopped on the driveway, the lawn, and stood right outside an open bedroom window. Then they gracefully leaped over the fence, one at a time, and walked down the city walkway and into the valley.
Cheers to the children who created a beautiful chalk drawing on a driveway on Brooks Road last week. What a great way to spend their time during the Easter break.
Cheers to the provincial government for finally committing money towards the new Estevan Regional Nursing Home. The expansion of the addictions centre at the hospital is a bonus.
Cheers to the Estevan Mercury for the Mind, Body and Soul section found in last week’s paper. Some great insights from those who contributed the columns.
Cheers to the Estevan and District Music Festival Association for finding a way to have a festival this year, and allowing kids to showcase their talents. Hopefully this will be the only year with a digital format.
Cheers to the SaskPower crews who were out in the wind and rain on the weekend to restore power in the Estevan area. It can’t be easy working in those types of conditions.
Jeers:
Jeers to the motorists who thought they could drive the same way in the rain and the snow that they did during the beautiful weather conditions. Speeding and tail-gating is not a safe way to drive, especially when the weather sucks.
Jeers to the motorists who zip through the yield sign at the intersection of Sixth Street and Souris Avenue South. If motorists on Souris who have the right of way have to slow down, then it means someone else was too aggressive.
Jeers to all those who still insist on texting and driving. Put the damn phone down and keep your focus on the road.
