Cheers:
Cheers to Estevan residents, especially those in the southwest and south-central areas, whose trees, lawns, vegetable beds and such are an array of colourful flowers. It makes an early morning walk more pleasant.
Cheers to the organizers of the rally against child abuse in downtown Estevan on Thursday. It brought awareness to an issue that more people need to hear more about.
Cheers to the Southern Plains Co-op for the way in which they held their annual general meeting at the Prairie Dog Drive-In. The only way it would have been better is if they would have had Brian Enns’ and Scott Kienlen’s faces on the big screen.
Cheers to the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course for making the Frametech Classic happen this year. There were some pretty good golfers on the course this year.
Cheers to Paige Baldwin and Brianna Hutchinson for all that they did during their year working at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan as the longitudinal integrated clerkship students. All the best to them in the future. Maybe they’ll be back in the future.
Jeers:
Jeers to the CP Rail and whatever levels of government haven't taken action to deal with the railway crossing situation in Estevan. This is a potentially dangerous situation that should have been alleviated decades ago.
Jeers to service stations on the edge of the city with public restrooms that are in filthy, deplorable condition, especially in times of COVID-19.
Jeers to the amount of time that it took to get playground zone signs up around the Dennis Moore Centennial Park. The park is great. The signs are needed. But they should have been up two months ago.
