Cheers:
Cheers to those who constantly reach out to the many who are more vulnerable to becoming ill during the pandemic. These generous acts of kindness are very much appreciated, and they are making a remarkable difference in our community.
Cheers to the couple who paid for the coffee of the people behind them at Tim Hortons drive-thru last week. It made their day and they will pay it forward.
Cheers to the residents of Valley View Heritage for clanging their pots and pans in support of the Estevan Police Service, the Estevan RCMP and other essential services.
Cheers to the bagpipe players who performed Amazing Grace in front of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch on Easter Sunday. They sounded great and it’s the sort of thing we need to hear.
Cheers to all of the emergency services personnel who have been helping local youths celebrate their birthdays. It might be loud, but it sounds great and it is much appreciated.
Cheers to everybody who has donated to the MacKenzie family during this trying time. It’s heartening to see the donations that have come in.
Jeers:
Jeers to two women who were recently walking a dog in the middle of a street. All were well distanced from one another, single file, but took up well over half to three-quarters of the width of the street, and as a motorist approached them and honked their horn, one of them flipped off the driver.
Jeers to the narcissistic residents who believe that self-isolation is not meant for them. Many vulnerable people are feeling helpless and very anxious as they are being put at risk by those who don’t care.
Jeers to people who litter when driving down rural and gravel roads. Enjoy the Estevan area views from comfort of your vehicle during the times of social distancing, but please hold onto your Timmie’s cups and burger wraps until you get to the garbage.
