Cheers:
Cheers to the medical staff at St. Joseph's Hospital who go over and above to care for patients. Whether it's over the phone or in person, they are always there to help.
Cheers to the Hospital Heroes ad that has been running each week. It’s great to see the hospital shining a spotlight on these dedicated employees on a weekly basis.
Cheers to the many encouraging heart-shaped messages placed on the windows of residents at Hill View Manor by a young lad and his mother earlier this month. It gave residents such a lift and encouragement.
Cheers to the organizers of events who have had the good sense to postpone, or, if necessary, cancel their activities. Hopefully they can make it work later in the year when a sense of normalcy has returned.
Cheers to those who have continued to support local businesses during this time. It’s important to continue to shop local during this time, rather than taking your money elsewhere.
Cheers to everybody who has taken the time to write a letter to a local senior citizen and brighten their day while they are locked in their homes.
Jeers:
Jeers to people who stop and text in the grocery store aisles, while people behind have to wait for them to move on. Please get your groceries and check your messages after you leave the store. The message won’t disappear.
Jeers to the Bruins dismissal of coach Chris Lewgood. Players liked playing for him and his on-ice results are some of the best for the Bruins in the last 20 years.
Jeers to wind chimes. They used to be found in cemeteries a lot, but because of the annoying factor they have mostly been banned. Please set the thing up inside your house with a fan.
