Cheers:
Cheers to the couple that comes faithfully, every day, to the Estevan Regional Nursing Home windows, and waves and smiles to the residents and staff. They bring so much sunshine into everyone's world there.
Cheers to Lucas Dzeryk for his efforts to create clips for surgical masks for front-line healthcare workers. It’s a simple gesture but it has a really big impact.
Cheers to all of the online fitness classes that have been offered during the last few weeks, and how they allow us to stay in shape while quarantined.
Cheers to those who have rethought their meetings, and have moved them online so that the important business can still be discussed.
Cheers to the arrival of a new physician in Estevan. It’s not an easy time to be coming to a new community, but it’s good that we have another family doctor to serve our medical needs.
Cheers to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League for having these simulations of the league playoffs. Yes, they’re video games and the Bruins have been eliminated, but it’s at least something different for us to talk about.
Jeers:
Jeers to those who were caught driving at a very high rate of speed in Estevan last week. There is absolutely no reason for someone to be driving more than 140 kilometres per hour, except on a race track.
Jeers to those who are using the crash in the price of oil as an excuse to say we should move away from resources such as oil. Want to move away from oil? You’re only going to prolong this recession.
Jeers to those who want to see us reopen the province far too quickly. It’s great businesses will be open again, and we can go golfing and camping again, but we if we’re going to move forward, it has to be incrementally.
